  • My first flight with my new Bell 430 from Heli-Factory on a Flight Field near Lindlar in Germany. The Turbine is a JetCat PHT3-XL. The second movie shows the helicopter in full action. So please don't blame the hovering here as this is a "real" first flight. Please visit us at heli.lu for more pictures or at heli-factory.com if you want to order yours.

    A beautiful piece of work, flown by a skillful and prudent pilot. Just wonderful! Heli technology has come so far in the last 40 years, and those little turbines are just the cat's whiskers! I don't fly any more, can't afford it these days, but I try to keep abreast of what the guys (and girls) are doing. Thanks for a visual treat... xo

    That's a beautiful aircraft. If that's the first real flight it was pretty good! A chap I knew in Australia, a trained helicopter pilot, had a large RC model that he flew just once and said he would never do it again, as it scared the life out of him!

    Wondering how you could possibly get 1400 thumbs down on this!
    It looks likea very nice built aircraft and that a first flight is not going to be exiting is all but to be expected.
    Hell, you do NOT want any excitement on a maiden flight :-)

  • @78Epitaph
    @78Epitaph 13 лет назад

    FINALLY!!! Usually you see these beautifully made scale RC versions of real life helicopters, and with just 2 blades on the main rotor, which just totally kills the model!! It's great to see someone that actually looked into that detail!!

    That's an amazing looking model, I can't imagine the nerves you must have felt taking off for the first time with that monster. The funds tied up in it alone would have made it tempting just to put it in the garage and say "well, there it is, I bet it flys as good as it looks, but I ain't risking it."

    I was researching the engines that are manufactured by JetCat out of California for these types of RC models. The pure turbines for R/C jets run antwere from 2000.00 to high 4000.00. The one turbo prop engine is just shy of 6000.00. That's only the engine mind you. What is amazing to me is this thing sounds EXACTLY like the gas turbine powered ground generators that I worked on in the Air Force, just as loud and just the same pitch and whine.

    I noticed the wind conditions, power lines in the distance undulating. This is why they probably kept nose pointed into wind, since its 1st flight. Smart. extremely nice model.
    Probably 10,000 us dollars, at least.

    Your right. Not that i'm a RC pilot I'm not but I take every precaution. Would you happen to know flying time in minutes one of these birds can do, the amount of distance from the radio control it can go and still get reception, and the cost of one of these beauties. I'm talking about the Bell 430.

  • @UserName111865
    @UserName111865 11 лет назад

    I think the turbine is connected to the main rotor driveshaft by a centerfugal clutch. As the rpm increases, the clutch begins to release the driveshaft ... (similar to a quad/4-wheeler...until at a preset level the clutch is completely disengaged and the turbine is directly connected to the driveshaft through a gear reduction system. Electricity is only needed for the servos, gyro ect...

    @TJSully716 it was the maiden flight so he wanted to make sure he could control the thing at low altitudes before doing anything "crazy" with it. He needs to make sure the helicopter does not have any bad tendencies and he probably had to trim it out which is hard to do on the bigger helicopter models.

  • @michaelking42
    @michaelking42 12 лет назад

    I don't mind it, but there weren't many of the 430s made, so I guess you would have to be a big fan of that specific chopper. your model is gorgeous, by the way.

    This is the Bell 430, Airwolf was a modified Bell 222B. After the modifications, the pilot for the episodes said it actually flew better. You can tell the difference between the number of blades, and the width of the bodies.
