@@mikefuchs2814 Thank you! I greatly appreciate the support!!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 just built the Orion, looking forward to flying it!
@ that’s Awesome! Great luck on the maiden. You will love it!
tron helis look beautiful, right now i think i should stop fantasizing about these things and just work on my little mcpx lol. Great content man keep it up!
They sure are beautiful! They have great lines. The color combination is perfect. The machining of all the aluminum parts is phenomenal. They are bringing a fantastic Heli to the market. Hey! Nothing wrong with a MCPX! Great little Heli. Thank you, I appreciate that!
Don't tell anybody, but I love building Helis even more than flying them.
And next to building helis, I love to watch a good Build video!👍
Yesterday the starter died in my 16 foot runabout boat, and my wife and I
had to paddle it across the lake to the docks.👎
Catching up on Your builds videos while resting in the AC in my easy chair...
that is what I needed today! 🙂 Thanks!
@@sheffandjelley i honestly do as well lol I really enjoy building, wiring, setup all that good stuff! I find it very relaxing lol that sucks! No way to start it with out the starter? My old gator boat (15ft V hull Jon boat) I would use a rope to start it if the starter went out. I’m glad you are catching up on the videos! Thank you!
It makes my day when I see another build video from Jeff. Another beautiful job my man. That glossy canopy does look pretty sick.
Thank you Spencer! I appreciate that. Yes! The glossy orange looks incredible. Even better in person. Can’t wait to see it on a bright sunny day.
....a joy to watch😎👍🤘
Thank you! I greatly appreciate it!
Thank you Jeff, got my Gemini today and just waiting on 13t pinion and 18t tail pulley. Probably start building Friday. Thanks again.
You’re welcome, Mike! I hope the videos are helpful. Why are you changing the gear ratio? Lower head speed?
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Yes sir, my style..sport floaty flip flop lol!
Nice job!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the video!
The Orion looks a lot better in a live shot that it does in the stock website pictures. I went with the Gemini but I think I may need both 😀🚁🚁🚁
I was actually the same way. I wasn’t too sure how it would look as in the pictures. It didn’t look the best. But it looks even better in person! You could just get the canopy and boom and converted back-and-forth lol or build too that’s always a great option!
Your review left me wanting one Jeff. So I bought one in the week & have just started the build it 👍
You mention 3D printed clips any links to those or were they your own design?
I had to add a little lube on the front canopy standoff on my gemini so they would "easily" slide thru the canopy grommets
@@javierarroyo7095 I add 3:1 silicone oil to all my canopy grommets to help with coming on and off and help the grommets last a lot longer. Makes a huge difference.
Jeff, another build under your belt, looks amazing, what type or antimony of solder do you use ? My rc boat guy had some solder joints melt on the esc, so I recommend a higher melting point solder to him. Years ago Bixby was the first person to get the hull of the BJ42 to do more than 💯 without flipping over backwards, 106mph 😮 he used a 1,900 kv motor from the stock 1,350kv which is only good for 85mph, on “good day” 😂 😊
Thank you! I appreciate it, so personally I use a 6040 solder. Resin core. Just regular solder non-lead free. I’ve seen guys have solder joints let go but I would bet 9/10 times it’s a cold joint. I think I know the boat guy you are talking about as I watch his videos from time to time. And he uses a torch which does work, but the problem is you are rapidly heating and cooling the thing off and it doesn’t give time for the solder to wick Into the joint, which will cause a cold solder joint, even though it holds. I’ve pulled well over 400 A many times and never had a joint let go.

Hi Jeff, do you need a swashplate leveler tool , and is it supplied in the kit ? If not how did you level the swashplate ?
@@r7_guy941 no swash plate tool is supplied with any kit (that I know of) no, I never use them. I can look at a swash and tell if it’s level or know but there is a bunch of ways. The manual tells you measurements from servo to swash, swash to head and that works great for making sure it’s level.
I can't wait for the test flight. I'm wondering, will this take over first place from Jeff's current favorite, the SAB RAW 580...
I can’t wait either! Just waiting on main blades they should be here Wednesday! If The weather is good. Will be flying on Saturday. Who knows! The Dnamic is an incredible Heli! So I have high high hopes for this one.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I think that was the best flying Heli I've seen to date. Especially how you were explaining it, as "This is not even tuned! Just rock solid off the fresh build." That IS super impressive. I have my work cut out for me on what 700 Sized Heli I'm going to buy when it comes time. I'm hoping they have more canopy color choices, or at least a clear canopy option from them or someone else. The Red is nice, but I like more color choices than just one.
Did you use Motor Pinion 16T 6mm ?
@@r7_guy941 stock pinion that came with the kit.
so no maiden flight ?
Do you perhaps have the file for 3d printed clips for ESC?
did the rotor head come already assembled ?
Rotor head and tail rotor do come assembled, but you must take them apart to add Loctite.
Did you make it to IRCHA ?
@@robertdawson94 yes I did!
I haven't got the space to fly these bigger helicopters
You go to an oval or field
That is always a problem. You need a good amount of space baseball fields work really well if you have those local.
