Kevin is a hell of a pilot and driver, he’s jus a big kid and that likes to break his toys, good thing he enjoys fixing as much and has the $$$$ to support his addictions😂
My dad had me flying nitro planes from a very young age and i had a knack for it. But when i was a teenager i tried getting into helicopters on a simulator and its no joke. Toy helicopters make you think that its not that bad but when you are in full control and the the helicopter does exactly what you tell it to, you realize how bad you are at it.
@Engage RC imho the hardest part of helis is keeping track of where it is pointing. Like planes go forward and if you are in trouble a little throttle can get you out of it. If you can't keep up with your inputs on a heli you are going to have a bad time lol
@@SlowerIsFaster139 yes assuming you get to that stage. When I started helis all had flybars and only a tail gyro. Just getting a stable hover took several days to master.
The two most expensive hobbies (that became jobs) are architect and filmmaker. But I think F1 owners probably spend the most considering annual profits are sometimes in the hundreds of $ or less.
That was excellent watching. Your positivity is next level. Just absolutely loving every minute of it. Laughing through all the crashes then your mate still hands you his blades and laughs with you as you obliterate them in spectacular fashion. My kind of people
Hey Kevin. My name is Scott. I've been flying all things that fly. One of the most important things to do after plugging in all connections it is mandatory to hot glue all connections to all components. Otherwise you will be always chasing the reasons you have glitch crashes. Food for thought. I love your chanel and watch 3very day. Keep it up Kevin!!! You and your crew are doing what my dream was for 40 plus years. Thank you for all you do.
That is absolutely crazy looking flying around like that! It moves like it’s not attached to our matrix and moving so fast and changing directions so fast!! Love it!
That acrobatic heli looks amazing for learning. It recovers so well going hands off and would be so good for people learning to hover pointing at themselves. And even inverted!
It is nice you can fix your stuff almost instantly. It took me like 2 months to save up or all the damage I did in 10 seconds. Servo, chassis, battery. brace and a few screw holes. HOW.
Still not sure how you can fly helis so well, but not planes lol edit: the durability of the helis today is great, although back when helis just exploded into pieces, it did make for great content lol
Yeah, anyone with any slight knowledge of how a plane can fly, can typically keep one in the air *for the most part* lol, but collective pitch heli’s are a WHOLE different beast.
Flying nitro planes from a young age must have been an exciting experience! I can imagine how challenging it must be to transition to helicopters. Toy helicopters can be deceiving, but once you're in full control, you realize the true difficulty. It's a humbling experience when you see the helicopter respond exactly as you command. Can't wait to see if the "uncrashable" RC helicopter lives up to its name! 🚁😮🤔
Not going to lie, I was so satisfied and absolutely laughed my ass off when Mark crashed his own Heli at 11:03 😂 After Mark lost one of Kevin’s and crashed his other and just laughed his ass off, that’s what he deserves! Also Kevin trying to hold back laughing asking Mark “what happened” as Mark walks to his crashed heli all bummed out is priceless🤣
Wow Kevin. I didn't know you flew copters too. And you fly well. I flew helis alot back from 2005 to about 2013, had tons of different helis (A mid-size Evo, a few Hirobo's Evo 50's, Raptor 50, small T-Rex's, and one T-Rex 600E) and did a lot of 3D and sport flying. My last 3D copter that I KEPT besides my small 3S/4S T-Rex's was a modest Raptor 50 but with alot of high end parts and a Kasama head. I parted with most of my heli gear right around the beginning of the 2008 Housing crisis. I was about done with the obsessive accumulation and maintenance of all those helis and luckily divested myself while there was still a market. Before nitro was $50 a gallon. Kept many of my electric planes though, those keep well and are cheap anyway. After starting helis I got somewhat into planes, and then drones after 2010. Never did the R/C car thing but since watching your channel I'm absolutely stoked about getting a couple cars. I just ordered an Omni Terminator Carbon 1/10 scale as my gateway drug. Originally I was looking at a Mojave 4S or something bigger like that, but I'm content to start small and work my way up if I enjoy it. Plus I found the Omni was on sale WITH a 3S battery included for $212 ! Can't beat that for a small bargain basher, right? Plus I can probably drive it anywhere, even by my home stretch.
I bought a decent sized and price helo a few years ago. My biggest issue was forward, reverse, left and right while hovering. The ONLY way I could "fly" it was if it was moving and I didn't have enough space. I did trim all the bushes in my backyard though hahahah.
For people that have to actually budget their money a simulation is the most fun you can have and still actually learn a skil. It’s boring to you because you can afford to crash them.
Enjoy those helicopter vids alot! They are stupid crazy to fly!🤯 man you guys are good at flying them! Didn't know that a nitro would fly as good as a battery one! They really got more thecno in them! Love it!🤘👌👍👊
I fly these helicopters, myself. Although, mine are exclusively electric, these days. Anyone can get into it, for a start. Helicopters are nowhere near as 'expensive' as what they once were, when I started doing this in 2007. There _is_ a big learning curve, when it comes to being able to fly helicopters well. The recommended path is to learn to hover in all orientations first, before progressing to doing basic circuits (which is where most people plateau, & that's absolutely fine). My attitude towards crashing is the polar opposite to what's considered 'the norm' with helicopters, & my rationale behind it is every crash is preventable if not completely avoidable entirely. Kev is actually really good at flying. In this video, his flying right now is typical of someone that is out-of-practice. IE His flying skills are rusty (which he has already stated in the video). That's okay. All he needs to do is put in a bit more practice both in the simulator & IRL (even when he finds it 'boring'), & he will get better at flying. With me, if I go for one day without practicing either IRL or in the simulator, I lose a good 60% of my own flying skill... by skipping merely one day. That goes to show the amount of skill required to fly these aircraft, & especially to the caliber that aerobatics pilots (such as Kev & yours truly) fly to. In Kev's case, his videos are geared towards being entertaining as well as informative. Truth be told, crashes _are_ entertaining, period. "Nobody wants to crash. But, when a crash happens, you definitely don't want to miss it, either." --Curtis Youngblood. As for the gatekeepers what dictate that Kev shouldn't be anywhere near helicopters, let alone fly them, here is what I have to say about that: A.) Gatekeeping is what prevents & discourages any newer (& younger) people from getting into flying helicopters; B.) It's a bit of an unspoken 'golden rule' to _never_ interfere with &/or micromanage how your fellow pilot conducts themselves with their aircraft, unless what they are doing is genuinely harmful to themselves &/or those around them; & C.) Overregulation already threatens the existence of the entire uncrewed/remotely piloted aircraft side of the RC hobby. It makes _no_ sense to me, to add insult to injury by gatekeeping & being divided among ourselves, when there are far more pressing matters at hand (such as overregulation).
I lost my first ever fpv drone 3 years ago, same thing happened it’s because it was in angle/self level mode and there is a angle limit so with a lot of wind you couldn’t pitch forward enough to combat the wind so it just goes bye bye lol. I only fly 5inch freestyle now in full acro mode it’s actually easier that self level mode cause that is just fighting your inputs more than helping you so I always recommend people to just learn in acro mode from the get go.
Crashing RC's is one of my all time favorite things. One thing I've come to learn over the years is that enjoying it from the comfort of my Lazy-Boy has reduced costs to virtually nothing. ;) P.S. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter Kevin, you're a stand-up guy!
Holy crap dude!!! I thought you were a bashing channel... i had zero idea you could fly a heli at all nevermind like that... WOW!!! You're full of surprises kev!!!! Wow!!!
Excellent and expensive video Kevin and Mark! I subscribed today! I'm a part 107 camera drone pilot barely a year into the hobby. your video sparked my interest in helicopters. Keep up the good work!
I can't believe how much trouble people have with flying helicopters. It's simple. 3 steps. That's it. 1. Set it up right. 2. Put in the correct control inputs. 3. Don't crash. Super simple.
When Kevin says “let’s find out” it’s either
A: Demolish it
B: wreck it
C: destroy it
All of the above.
@@GavinHardle this is the correct answer
This is the way
Or he needs a tax write off
D: Obliterate it.
Legend says that the scale heli is still flying around lost on that field
His friend was just holding the throttle wide open like a idiot
in Narnia......
@@ToastyNWT I had to go back and watch and you're right...he was. wtf was that unless it was on purpose.
It flew into a wormhole to another dimension...
All about content. Haha. Remember the boat he lost in the pond that time? Lol
He's actually really good at flying helicopters it takes a lot of practice, but his channel is mainly about smashing things up.
Kevin is a hell of a pilot and driver, he’s jus a big kid and that likes to break his toys, good thing he enjoys fixing as much and has the $$$$ to support his addictions😂

Toy helicopters make you think that its not that bad but when you are in full control and the the helicopter does exactly what you tell it to, you realize how bad you are at it.
Heli flyers are operating in spatial dimensions that my brain can scarely understand. I'll stick with land vehicles.
I can only imagine. As someone who flies planes and a small amount of quads these look insanely hard to fly.
That's why ideally you first start with rc helis, then moving on to planes you become a much better pilot.
@Engage RC imho the hardest part of helis is keeping track of where it is pointing. Like planes go forward and if you are in trouble a little throttle can get you out of it. If you can't keep up with your inputs on a heli you are going to have a bad time lol

I do believe that RC helicopters could easily be the second most expensive hobby after car racing/customization...😁👍
looks like helicopters are more
Rc heli cost way more than toy cars 🚗
@@lachlangreen8389 Who's talking about toy cars?
The two most expensive hobbies (that became jobs) are architect and filmmaker. But I think F1 owners probably spend the most considering annual profits are sometimes in the hundreds of $ or less.
RC crawlers are the least expensive
I love when the nitro helis fly upside down close to the ground and spit all the smoke down. Looks so cool. 13:32

If you hot glue all he components won't that make them difficult to swap out?
I love the heli content! That’s 99% of what I do on my channel. I’m building a RAW 580 nitro with a 105 as well. Highly recommend the RAW 580 nitro.

@@jigglypuff4227 small world! Lol
@@joe-dp3ng lol well I always say a heli can be rebuilt and crashing happens! If you’re going to fly your going crash.
those helicopters look really hard to fly
They are and that's the fun. Took me 6 months to even hover in control. It takes tons of dedication. Not for everyone.
Harder then it looks a lot of muscle memory, fly one in sim to learn FAST
I’ve heard people say it’s harder to fly an rc heli than a real one. Idk how true that is as I’ve never done either
@@feron450 that’s because no one is flying real helicopters inverted and going from 40-50 MPH to a dead stop in the air lol
@@feron450 kinda true yes , you don’t have to be so careful with a real helicopters collective ..
Nice video I love to see you flying rc helicopters 👍🏻😃🚁
You're the true legend here
@@ib.i.b thanks to you 🙌🏻
If anyone doubts Kevin's rc pedigree helicopters are not for beginners or the faint of heart. Pretty awesome!
They don't seem to be for him either!
Its always when you see the magic smoke come out of the battery that you know you messed something real bad
electronics run on smoke. If you let the smoke out, they stop working.
it was the esc though. the motor was blocked and I think it should've cut out
@@Berm_Blaster exactly
More Heli Videos, please!
I've always wanted an RC Heli, but could never afford one, so I get a lot of enjoyment from watching these!
Thank you!
That is absolutely crazy looking flying around like that! It moves like it’s not attached to our matrix and moving so fast and changing directions so fast!! Love it!
"our matrix" ???????????????????????????????
Kevin Talbot: "I'm gonna show you all this new fancy stuff"
Also Kevin Talbot: "Hey, this other guy has cool stuff, let's look at his stuff instead."
It's nice to see more popular youtubers like kevin show off their true skills every once in a while :D
What a great idea! Sell loads of drones which "return home" and come back to the makers for re-sale to the next unsuspecting customer, lol :D
That acrobatic heli looks amazing for learning. It recovers so well going hands off and would be so good for people learning to hover pointing at themselves. And even inverted!
I’ve never seen an RC helicopter BREAKdance (slaps knee) 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is nice you can fix your stuff almost instantly. It took me like 2 months to save up or all the damage I did in 10 seconds. Servo, chassis, battery. brace and a few screw holes. HOW.

Now you need to make a special video where you just go out and search for that lost heli.
Would really love the scale heli, but £400 for that tiny chopper is just not worth it in my eyes.
I’m living vicariously through your transmitter. You crash I watch! Love the vids!!!
I'm sure it probably takes a lot of skills to fly in that chaotic manor, but to me it just looks like an uncontrollable flight!
And hats off to the skill of the pilot. Still, it doesn't look pretty to me.
Alot of people dont like 3d flying. I mix my flight style up. I do big are, 3d, and scale
Everyone : learner mode
Kevin : IDIOT MODE
I love your videos Kevin. They get me through the day!
Yes. More of everything. It helps on making a decision about trying new things
There's a little red and white helicopter just flown past backwards! Is it yours? 😂
The video we all needed but didn’t know

These rc are out for now and we have seen their reviews way back in time and you are showing it now
Kevin should realize it's not good for hobby newbies to see every model he touches demolish itself... it's definitely ALWAYS OPERATOR ERROR....
Unless its an HPI Savage.
Even the best crash
And it can mechanicle or electric error
Awesome thumbs skills it was awesome to see the helis back out again ty!!
First! Also I’m way to chicken to fly these
Just fly away from you not like to dragon chopper pilots hahaha
its cool having a friend who understands Toys BREAK
Kev that was so funny 3 helicopter crashes an you still had a smile on your face ace 👍👍
Can't beat a bit of nitro heli fun 🙂If I had to keep just one heli of mine... it would be the 600N.

That front nose dive, front roll to inverted thing you do is terrifying to watch. 😂😂 I haven’t flown my helis in years.
1:24 helicopter was crazy😂😂😂
WE THE PEOPLE NEED MORE UDR & XMAXX MADNESS!!
I love the greenery and the clouds ⛅️ beautiful weather
is anyone else thinking about the adventure the little on that flew away went on?
Jeeeeesus kev!! you destroy things faster than the RC retailers can sell them to you!! 😱😂😂
I remember watching Jim Fox fly helicopters ( old school ) its one hell of a skill ! !
plz keep the heli content coming it awesome!!
Way too fun. Love it when you crash, I mean fly helis. Keep up the flying. Don't forget about driving. Peace
That's what we call an expensive day at the field 👍
That flying is nuts
1:07 "Oh no!"
1:08 "Oh, oh no!"
1:09 "No no no!"

1:27 "Oh Dear God make it stop!"
Should have done a video search for the lost helicopter, like with the jet boat
Come on I wanna see kev actually on the sticks flying the crazy 3d 😂😂😉
Kevin!! You can really fly! So cool! This was fun and funny, thanks!
01:07 The supposedly "smart" helicopter tearing itself apart is just hilarious! 🤣
Mad skills. Excellent
Omg he finally stopped saying double wishbone!!! Lol love ya kev!
Mark was starting to sound like Palpatine at the end there. "you can kill them" lol

Nothing is uncrashable in Kev hands😂😂😂
Would be really cool if you do a video on a few cheap RC planes for beginners
The way he said "next victim" had me burst out of laugh
I love watching you fly heli, nice work.
Crash a 600 into the ground, stick new blades on and try again. Solid advise right there!
150% nervous wreck watching you fly that omg 😮😂
After that last one I'm amazed you started it in doors .. the amount of money on your walls my bro you have a set on your my bro !! 😆
That’s awesome! Do some more 1/5 scale!!
I like the Heli Vids soo much. plz more!🚁
Actually a short video tour of your basement, RC trucks, gear, kit etc. could be interesting.
We need more heli bangers action!!
Holy crap dude!!! I thought you were a bashing channel... i had zero idea you could fly a heli at all nevermind like that... WOW!!!
You're full of surprises kev!!!! Wow!!!
from the other video i have watched re black hawk heli, there's a gps option and can return the heli back near the controller
What a nuts
Now show me the bills
Must be costly fellows
Good show
I like real pilots fighting with real faults
Amazing
Please more Heli Videos, love them
Excellent and expensive video Kevin and Mark! I subscribed today! I'm a part 107 camera drone pilot barely a year into the hobby. your video sparked my interest in helicopters.

Let us change the background on the shelf mate,turn it into a revolving door of advertising for the RC collection.
We need more savage x4.6 videos!! And your original xl with the LRP! I’ve been loving my nitros lately.
I’m not breathing in till you you build one😂😂😂
Yes, more heli videos, nice to see it fly
Damn those swords had a nice little helicopter stuck to them
I can't believe how much trouble people have with flying helicopters. It's simple.
