Nice was waiting for the flight. I want to do a micro helli build on that same helli for fling inside. Did the nano s3 works great. Don't really like the stock canopy on the mcpx looks great with microhelli
@@westhobbiesrc8051 where could I solder a signal wire at on this board,,? I got a bigger esc I want to jump on it with for a bigger motor that fits on the micro heli Frame
Nice video. Ive been trying to learn as much as I can over the past couple months. I would love to see a video of EXACTLY how you set up your radio to the bl2 and also the nano s3. Like how you have the flight modes (idles 1, 2) and gears?? green, blue, red led on heli. Servo calibration, rates, expo, all that good stuff. I have one switch for normal, stunt 1, and stunt 2. Then a separate switch for the actual flight modes of the heli, green, blue, and red LED. I also have my own method for calibrating the servo, where they led blink purple. Anyway....Would like to see how you do it. Cheers!
So personally I do not use any expo Dual rates anything like that. I like 100% travels and no dead band. I like to get the helicopter sensitive and fast as I possibly can. I fly around middle sticking all helis. I don’t move my sticks far at all my whole flight. I have never calibrated the servos, I’ve done trim flights but that’s it. I keep all of my flight modes on the same switch for all helicopters. It is my B switch upper left-hand corner. My flight modes and normal Idle 1 and Idle 2 are the same switch.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Thats cool, i personally have never been a fan of expo. Been racing RC cars for 7 years, and never use expo for anything. I just like a direct linear feel. On my nano s3 i set 3 different "rates" on my F switch. 100, 115, and 125 travel with no expo. Im sure I will get it all sorted out, and I know some of this is personal preference. Would be cool to see a video on how you do it.
I enjoy the build you have done here. I am looking at doing some upgrades to one of two BL v1's that I have here soon. But I had two questions. 1. Do you use, and or have any videos on how the Swash Plate leveling tool is expected to be used? I am sure you have a better method you use with your time in Heli's but trying to see if it is worth it as I am trying to troubleshoot some issues with one of the BL's that I have. 2. What are your thoughts on the 3-blade Tail rotor blades? Some say it over works the motor.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Cool. I would think though that since you have extra weight and another blade slapping the air, it would require more torque and maybe less headspeed so maybe a 7t pinion instead of 8t...but if it flies better in your opinion then nevermind but it might matter in longevity.
The bl2 will crash many many times on that frame ,,lot better than originally will ,,it's just not going to take tail in very well,,and even if you do the side carbons are only 5 dollars or was
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I almost ordered the whole heli and put it together with new stuff for bored m ,,but I loved the bl2 ,I wear out 5 of them or so,,it helped me a lot but now I think I'm gonna stay or try to build bigger helicopters
I just think its hilarious the "direct from China" micro helis have it printed mispelled on the blades for over a decade. Came to mind when you went and flew with that crack lol@@westhobbiesrc8051

It took the crash great. I love the little micros. Nice flying.
Micros are definitely fun for that exact reason! You can crash them and keep on going lol
I love this little bird! I’ve got two of them. Of course I’m slow and scale with them right now.
That’s okay! Take your time! You will get it!
Flying great man can't wait to get one
Thank you!

It’s a awesome kit! Well worth it! I just keep it on the shelf now and look at it lol very fun to fly and look at!
my old bl2 started doing what yours did,it dont owe me nothing ,,so i will buy another,, ,,i dont know why i like this heli so much lol
I need to get a new board for this one! It is a fun helicopter. It’s just been sitting on the shelf as a pretty LOL
@@westhobbiesrc8051 where could I solder a signal wire at on this board,,? I got a bigger esc I want to jump on it with for a bigger motor that fits on the micro heli Frame
No idea how you can see that flipping around, very durable 👍🏻
All Brain and muscle memory! It is definitely adorable little helicopter!

Fantastico.
Thank you!
Is there a part # for the upgrades you did?
U got a good place to fly man all grass
It is a very nice area to fly! Only issue is length of the grass and it is very uneven in some areas so landing flat can be a problem.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 where are you located? approximately....lol
@@IsaacBayer I’m located in Tennessee
Hi there, looking at getting one of these. I see you've got an ix12 there - have you used the mcpxbl2 ESC telemetry instead of a timer before?
Yes I’ve used the ESC telemetry on the BL2
I just put a little tape on the blades works fine to practice with the nano anyway.
Yeah that will work too!
Do you notice it bog any more than stock since it's heavier?
No not at all. It actually fly’s way better and has more power because of that third blade.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Cool. I would think though that since you have extra weight and another blade slapping the air, it would require more torque and maybe less headspeed so maybe a 7t pinion instead of 8t...but if it flies better in your opinion then nevermind but it might matter in longevity.
Do a rebind from 5 feet away
I’ve done it a few times. Ever since new it has done weird stuff like that lol
can you share your setup info??
Setup as far as radio?
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Yes, pitch curve, etc...
@@helichuck1 complete stock recommendation from the manual.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Hmmm, That is Odd because the pitch curves in the manual will not go inverted!!
@@helichuck1 the pitch curve is linear, like all helis. If you have a 0-25-50-75-100 pitch curve then you will have the sam positive and negative.
Jeff will you need my transmitter
Most probably the 3in1 overheated with the triblades and shutdown/reset.
@@gencosumer wow! That’s crazy, maybe a bad 3in1. I’ve got a bunch of flights on mine with the three blade and no issues.
@@westhobbiesrc8051motor and board get extremely hot even with the stock 2 blades. I drllled couple of holes to the canopy for ventilation.
The bl2 will crash many many times on that frame ,,lot better than originally will ,,it's just not going to take tail in very well,,and even if you do the side carbons are only 5 dollars or was
The frame is super strong! Definitely stronger than stock. And the parts are cheap and easy to replace

You flew with a Borken blade.
Yes, lol it’s a micro. It’s fine.
I just think its hilarious the "direct from China" micro helis have it printed mispelled on the blades for over a decade. Came to mind when you went and flew with that crack lol@@westhobbiesrc8051
That motor is definitely not governed. Definitely a gradual decline in motor speed as the battery dies.
