    I feel the same about my Kraken 580. So locked in and a good presence. I would say it's very 'obedient'!

    That's a great word you used, "Connected". You fly amazing with everything. However, when you are flying the 580 RAW it looks like it's "In Tune" with you, and your unique 3D style. I'm so glad you did this vid, because I KNOW I'm one of the ones always asking you if the RAW is still your Go To heli. Thanks Jeff!

      It’s true, the model is just one with my fingers. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it is just an extension of my fingers. Ever since I flew the very first one that I built I knew that this is one how it got there that had to stay in my collection and I have three of them now lol 6s, 12s and nitro! It is a very thought out machine. It flies extremely stable and well. Yes! You are one that definitely asks a lot lol but it is definitely still my favorite.

      @@westhobbiesrc8051 I'm considering buying a RAW 500 or 580. I'm worried about the size of the 580 (it's actually the size of the 600). I fly short, I have an OMP M4 MAX. Can I ask you if the RAW 500 is suitable for comfortable flying and is well visible. Thank you very much.

      @ both are fantastic models! The RAW 580 is definitely bigger then the RAW 500. Personally I chose the RAW 580 but if size is a problem then definitely go with the RAW 500. You can’t go wrong with either model. Both are fantastic and fly amazing. The RAW 500 is easy to see, great power and flys like a bigger helicopter.

    Run my 580 on 8S 4500mah packs and it's perfect.
    I have 3700mah packs to really keep the weight down and it's almost 'too' light because it gets so floaty.
    8S 4500mah, 5 minutes of good smack, everything comes in nice and cool, and it's a dream.
    Easily my favorite helicopter to fly.
    I like flying my 700s more because they are more impressive (sound and size) but my 580 is my favorite to fly as it just FEELS so good.

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  13 дней назад

      I have thought about trying 8s! What KV motor are you running? I’ve got plenty of 8s packs (from the speed heli’s) I would just need to put a Hobbywing 150. I love 700s but 550/580 helis are my favorite for sure!

    Awesome flight Jeff! I really enjoy watching you fly man! Especially these videos when you are just chilling and flying for fun. It gives me some ideas to practice on the simulator. I do fly just not hardcore 3-D. Flips, rolls and some light inverted flying while out on the field. Orientation is the key so I’m still practicing that too. Thanks for the great videos my dude!

    I haven't flown the other brands, and I know I fly a 420 more than anything, but yes and yes, favorite is a raw 580 and that would be with nitro please. ha! I flew a Trex 600N for a long time and the RAW 580 Nitro feels so close to that. I would also choose the RAW over the Kraken. Great Flying man, every time I check in I'm like "dang he's gotten better again" and I go fly some hahaha!!! Keep it UP!!

Yes! I like the RAW more then the. kraken. Both 580 and 700. I’m excited to see how the ILgoblin Pro is. The best of both worlds? We will find out. It is a little lighter than a regular RAW!

    Hey Jeff great flight like always ! I also fly my 580 on 6s 5000, got a scorpion motor and hobbywing 120. The motor runs real hot with short flight times too. I tried to change motor timing to 15 degrees too but that obviously heated the motor even more so dropped it back to 5 degrees as per scorpion 4025 recommendation. Anything you suggest I do ? Have a Microbeast X for FBL and Futaba radio, thanks

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  13 дней назад

      Thank you! I greatly appreciate it! So scorpion is notorious for running hot. That is one reason why I stand behind Xnova motors. They run really cool great flight performance and flight times while making a ton of power. Highly recommend picking up a Xnova 4025 1120kv shaft b for your 580.
