Slow throttle response is due to “soft start” a feature of the esc. The rotor will spool up slowly until it reaches flying rpm. After that throttle response will be normal. I like using it🤙🏼
@@Gggggghhvvbbb the power delay on start up is what Kev was referring to "gotta wait 10s before the rotor starts to spool up", hence the comment on soft start!! The latter part of the video where he asks if anyone has any ideas on how to stop the violent jump between flight modes is what I believe you're referring to!? That can only be negated by adjusting the throttle curves to have less of a gap or difference but as nearly all Idle up curves are either horizontal or a slight 'v' there will always be a bit of a 'jump' from normal to idle up 1/2! :-)
A 700 series RC Helo is fast as F.... So fast. Can change direction in a blink.. milliseconds... Dragonfly still faster. Lil faster., Unlike a butterfly or a moth..Bird..., ect... a Dragonfly... they can get out of the way. Like a Bat can. Fly circles around a 700.
I still dont know why he isnt even at 2mil he is the best RC youtube i have ever watched he reviews things frankly and really really tests the durability they should make a level of durability called ‘Kev proof’ 😂😂
RC master, doesn't matter whats connected to the transmitter.. he'll fly it, drive it, float it and sometimes crash it lol. Kevin, you got some serious skill mate!
Kev, you saying "hope we don't break it?" is like a bear saying "I don't think I'll go to the toilet in the woods today!" 😂 Mate, you break rc cars on a daily basis, let alone a flying machine whizzing around the sky! Very pleased to see you didn't though, not like it's poor little brother you whumphed into the ground! 😎
There are different values you can set for the ESC so it spools up faster or slower. Its a safety feature so you dont accidently bump the "Throttle Hold" switch while you are on the bench working on the heli.
I am digging this helikopter. But crash with something as expensive like that would made me depressed. It oozes quality. I like that you make helikopter videoes to from time to time. 👍
OMG. Kevin what a monster copter you got there, you fly like i pro too. Cool. I have try RC Helis three times. Two Big Nitros and one smaller Brushless. All three i Crash very very bad in 10 seconds. One of the Big Nitros was dangerously close hit me at High Speed also LOL. These are dangerous if you dont know what you are Doing :) Hope to see more cool stunts with this Mega Copter coming Summer. You did couple fantastic stunts in this Video already. Nice . You are good Pilot Kev. Impressed
@@KyzerGB it was more an example of how he wouldn't feel the fear we would, ive come away from tiny 6 channel heli's shaking hahah with that bird i think id have a heart attack
Pretty impressive stuff remember my neighbour having one when I was young and he totally stacked it and it was all bent, just didn’t realise what you can do with them. Cheers Kev
I just wanted to say despite the unfortunate turn of events that happened between you and your friend I TRULY ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. I WATCH AS MANY AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU DO becouse I quite ENJOY watching them that's for shuer. "Enough Waffling" lol I'm going back to ENJOYING more of your videos.😁
The 10 sec spool is the esc doing a calibration test because you most likely have the ESC governor set to “gov store” mode instead of Linear mode. Must be in linear mode when using ikon governor.
That is not normal soft start behavior. It should immediately start the soft start process once throttle hold is flipped. It's a calibration issue within the Ikon2, I had the same issue with mine.
Your pretty fekking good 3D Heli pilot Kev, some real frikking good shit there. Your control was superb, anyone saying your to harsh or jerky needs to upload a video of themselves doing better!
Love the fact that you presolder the leed's before soldering them on!!! Too many don't i think!!! Nice that you show the right way to do it! Have the same experience with the conectors too btw!
Oh that sound is amazing! I’ve seen some videos of these stunt pilots of these, and man, they were doing the craziest shit I’ve ever seen! And at night t boot. It had lights, but it was truly amazing.
Just got mine today March 27th. Good vid for me since I have the exact same heli and the DX8 G2. Also have the 380 buddy, SAB for me all the way. Good flying, I'm not that good but having a blast.
That sound of the rotary blades is just👌
@@dean8367 😂😂😂
I agreat I'm 7 by the way boss
Man that thing is sick, I'd never believed a heli can move like that
That is a stunt heli
Type in 3d rc helicopter flying. There should be a red one that looks like Kevin that is up side down. Watch that. That one is crazy
I must indeed, these are sick stuff. Also Dangerous in Wrong Man Hands. Kevin is one Good Pilot we seen now. He must enjoy alot now
Search Tareq Alsaadi, probably the most extreme 3D heli flyer

They remind me of giant dragonfly's when they are flying.

more power!
Still so close to 1 million Kev 😱
Yea Kev you are amazing keep grinding man!! You are inspiring!!!!💪💪💪

Love You're Videos I am your biggest Fan ❤️
Kev you need a shirt that says “Enough Waffle” 😆
IKR
Yessssss
I really enjoy the classical music in the background, it serves as a pleasant juxtaposition to your absolute lunacy lol
This helicopter looks like it is having a seizure every time u take it off🤣🤣
Luv the vids kev
Hello fellow motocrosser
It looks like the little helicopter got a dad nice vid
I like how you made it look like you were doing all the tricks with this helicopter. LOL.
Here you can see, this man is a MAKER. Flies the king class of rc in its most difficult grade (3D). Most people giving up on learnin to fly rc helis.
Every time I start RUclips, your new video is on top of the list.
Nice brother good
Ok
That’s a serious bit of kit!
Wow....you are a pro flying the copter....awsome manuvers!!!
RC master, doesn't matter whats connected to the transmitter.. he'll fly it, drive it, float it and sometimes crash it lol.
Kevin, you got some serious skill mate!
Soldering iron you can plug into your lipo is epic. Perfect for fixing stuff that's been to the moon

Wholesome
Hey but you be right though
The 10 seconds is for you to get away from the blades to a safe distance when you start flying, bud!
Really?
@@zakkupfer1390 yes
@@zakkupfer1390 maybe
No it's not. It's improper gov spool up settings not set correctly. Where do you get this nonsense?

I love helis, but I can't be done with all that faffing around, although I know many that find this the most enjoyable part.
Kev it’s incredible how patient he is putting it all together feel like it would take me 6 months lol
Nice Helicopter 👍🏻👌🏻😅
Imagine if Kevin was your pilot of your real life helicopter. Tons of fun...….
Im down
sooooooo, soooooooo, close to 1 million subs
sweeet
Awesome. Now I want a heli on top of my rc trucks.!!
I love ❤ your cartoons
Helicopter stunts are so sick!

Kev's back for reals, and got a real soldering iron aswell now, not that old big hammar
to be fair, that cheap iron can be as powerful as an expensive one but you don't have temp control and it doesn't last very long.
As a pilot hearing "boom" I was SCREAMING EMPANAGE!!
This heli is a piece of art!
GREETINGS from INDIA
That helicoptor flight test was giving me gta broken physics vibes
That thing just sounds epic and fearful of how much money is up there and can come down with a quick wallet empty
Have you seen Kevs Lambo? A couple of grand is nothing to him anymore... he wouldn't experience the same fear/rush that we would
@@stu1987eng yeah I've seen his Lambo. Been following him for a while. 😉
@@KyzerGB it was more an example of how he wouldn't feel the fear we would, ive come away from tiny 6 channel heli's shaking hahah with that bird i think id have a heart attack
Loving this Heli content! It's nice to mix up a little from time to time!
Dude the sound coming from that thing IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC!
Eu sou do brasil e adoro seu videos sao muito bons
Kevin your so close to A million im so happy for you
You defnetly need a vbar Control Touch and a neo! With that you can do all the Setup via your Transmitter on the field and easily Share helis
YOUR CRACKED MAN!! i wish i could fly like that
Day 8 of asking for a video series on the ECX Roost 1/18 scale where you progressively make it faster each episode using cheap parts and upgrades.
Ive been asking for the 1/18 temper lol
One of the best rc reviewer and assembler, subscribed !
I love the sounds of helikopter's blades🤩 😀
WUT??? You were killing it! So sorry I doubted you. Thought I was going to see a up over down rolling crash. Much respect!
Never seen anything fly like that,well maybe a real dragonfly,awesome!
The noises from those blades are wicked
Who else believed that Kev was actually flying the helicopter?!?🤣🤣
He actually was the first to fly it, then the other guy took over.
It's like a giant dragonfly with the way it looks flying around all over the place.
Love your channel and heli videos
Pretty impressive stuff remember my neighbour having one when I was young and he totally stacked it and it was all bent, just didn’t realise what you can do with them. Cheers Kev
I can only just about control an RC car, can only dream of being able to confidently fly a Heli!
By god that is tight.. that’s what kev says to all the ladies 🤣
kevin you have got me and my dad back into this hobby thank you!
Wow!!
What is there to dislike about this video why are people disliking 😂 kevs the best
@@brianlangford7278 kevs just the best
Even more people disliking 😡😡

I’m not into helicopter but I like this video keep up the good work
The delay of the blades spooling up is called "soft start"
That is not normal soft start behavior. It should immediately start the soft start process once throttle hold is flipped. It's a calibration issue within the Ikon2, I had the same issue with mine.
@@TangoOne interesting, I didn't really analyze the start time, just seemed to be soft start. Did you eventually iron it out?
Nice vid, Kev! I love seeing Bert Kammerer fly these Goblin helis. 💪💪💪
I think it's awesome your getting Into some heli stuff. If just one new pilot starts flying it would be worth it!
Kev those satellite receivers are supposed to be spread out and in a certain orientation. That’s why the wires are long.
I think we all agree that this heli looks ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!
Great video as usual 👌
i know ya hate soldering, but that was a pretty clean job!. well done!
Using flux is key.
@@jdsstegman hell yeah never enough flux!
Helicopter Helicopter
Hey Kev can you make a HUGE ramp and go full send on the big 2 stroke rc car? That would be a cool video.
Your pretty fekking good 3D Heli pilot Kev, some real frikking good shit there. Your control was superb, anyone saying your to harsh or jerky needs to upload a video of themselves doing better!
thanks dude
I love all things RC but those collective pitch heli's absolutely terrify me. The violence with which they change direction is incredible.
1mill and kev cuts his hair with his helicopter!!!
Love the helicopter videos Kevin
Love the fact that you presolder the leed's before soldering them on!!! Too many don't i think!!! Nice that you show the right way to do it! Have the same experience with the conectors too btw!
thanks dude that you loaded it up 👍👍👍👍👍☠️😀😀😀😀😀😎😎😎😎😎🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁
You guys should have a competition, where you guys invert the helicopters and see how low you can get to the ground
Never seen someone fly a heli like that! I thought it was hilarious that you fly it like that rather than just normally like I though 😂
Out of the way drones. This rules the skies.
1.17 "my god that's tight" I was excepting the "thats what she said" :-) :-) :-)
You inspired me to get my first RC car
Oh that sound is amazing! I’ve seen some videos of these stunt pilots of these, and man, they were doing the craziest shit I’ve ever seen! And at night t boot. It had lights, but it was truly amazing.
And you already fly like a pro!!👍👍
Haha it looks like a drunken dragonfly. Can for sure do some crazy stunts with that thing.
I believe the the Slow Throttle response thing is a safety Feature to stop you Accidentally full throttling it while your doing things with it.
But it’s not safe if it kicks on 10 sec later that’s a death trap
5:25 sounds like the THX intro
Love the heli content. Keep it coming. You got bigger balls than me Kev
Nice helicopter 👍👍
Got some skills there Kev - I’ve given up cause it’s too difficult.....although I’ve still got them.
Just got mine today March 27th. Good vid for me since I have the exact same heli and the DX8 G2. Also have the 380 buddy, SAB for me all the way. Good flying, I'm not that good but having a blast.
That background music is the same as the whiskey vaults for titans of whiskey lol
The crack of the whip gets me every time 😆😆
That is pure AWESOMENESS! OMG I WANT ONE!
Maybe the 10 second delay for it to spool up is a safety feature in case you hit the throttle stick by accident?
This Thing looks so sick
