Micro CH-47 Helicopter battery Experiment. Syma Chinook Will it work?

I was around CH 46 Sea Knight helicopters the entire 33 years I was in the Marine Corps I buy it. I have 3, all from XHeli. When I decided to fly the smallest today (Micro SYMA SO26G), I found the stock battery pretty tired.
So, I opened it up and found that a 180 mAh, but a 250 or even a 500 mAh single cell will fit.
I would say the 250 would be optimum, but I did not have one, so stuck in the E-Flite version. As you can see, it works very well.

So I hope enjoy seeing this little bird fly and a few cameo appearances from my bigger ones.
Please take a moment rate the video, subscribe, and stay tuned for more RC Television shows. Thanks kindly for all your support.

@ nightflyyer, if you dont mind me asking, where were you stationed when you were around the phrog when you were in the corps?

[NightFlyyer]

@gator7293 I have videos of many of my trips, including Boot Camp at San Diego, El Toro AIr base, My trips to Japan, Philippines, etc, plus A video on the worlds fair in Osaka Japan. I also worked on CH 46 and CH 53s when stationed at MCAS Tustin. I was also on the USS Midway for a year. Every base flew them and I flew in them when needed. When I introduced the first USMC toys for tots rc airshow, we even flew SANTA in on a CH 46.

[NightFlyyer]

@gator7293 Oh, and I forgot. A year in Viet Nam gave me phenty of Phrog exposure too.

[MrJasperDaniel]

He Dave, Nice video..

Why is it I can't seem to find a fixed pitch chinook?

I would like to have one, but like I said, can't find it.

[NightFlyyer]

@MrJasperDaniel Thank you. These are all fixed pitch and vary their lift by rpm, not pitch. Are you sure your saying what you mean?

[MrJasperDaniel]

@NightFlyyer I guess not.. What I mean is this I think. Fixed pitch chinooks, without them being coaxial.

I hope it does not sound weird..

[NightFlyyer]

@MrJasperDaniel Yes, well there are some non coaxial tandems around. I think Kavan makes one and Hirobo, but they require lots of servos and linkage and are very, very expensive compared to these. They are also much harder to fly than these coaxials.  But if you get one, I'll be sure to watch your video.

[theflandersons]

As always, your videos are both entertaining and educational. Thank you, I really look forward to each one that comes out. How about doing a video on your shop and all the goodies we can see hanging around in there?

Hello Nightflyyer

I really need some help. My micro s026 wont start after i have charged it.

Is it becouse of the battery needed to be replaced?

and how do i replace it?

I have opened her up but i dont know what to do next.

Thanks Regards!

[slimgamerMKD]

@NightFlyyer Hey i have the syma s026 and only flyes 3 or 4 min i cant find any battery like youres im from MACEDONIA :P

[hutadut]

I always seem to recognize the music in your videos, I hear Stairway to Heaven in this one! :)

[h2lolpl]

cute cats



[joey32099]

I have the tiny ch-47 and the medium ch-47. But to me the medium ch-47 is easier to fly than the small one.

[funnyvideosforlive]

i like sophie and kassie :) very cute.

nice video!

[DAMIENloh1970]

Cat looked pissed @ 5:40 lol

[il2sturmovikfb]

Can u give me tips on the medium ch47 like where to put the aerial and what condition to fly it in?

[AceMcMoron]

It flies nicely, but the motors probably won't last long with the added weight. An mCP-x battery coning in at around 7-8g would be the perfect match. A Hyperion 250 mCP-x battery or a Nano '300' would do the trick nicely.

[frankaleeny]

did your motor/ esc get warm with the bigger battery?
