Hi Jeff, I did all this today and got started with my OMP M4 build! Thanks for all great tips and explanations. So far my first ever build is running smooth. Everything fits great! No problems at all! It seems to be a great kit for a kit build beginner like me!! Thanks for the great work!!

I have three Blade helicopters , a 300 cfx, 360cfx and a 550xv that i built but let someone else set up the radio and flybarless unit. This will be my first ever to build and set up myself. Its intimidating but i have a passion for these machines and not being able to do the setup myself takes away from the experience. Not sure how its going to turn out but well see. Thanks for this build video, it will help alot!!

I'm quite impressed with the overall quality of the kit. May have to get one myself.

Should you not centre servos before putting servo arms on?

@westhobbiesrc8051

Ай бұрын

Yes you should! I found your servos are pretty much set perfectly center from the factory but it’s always a risk to put your horns on and hope. If you have a servo center tool that’s perfect as well.

I’m hoping so! Saving for one now.

Exciting! I have my eyes on it as well. Has anyone experimented (or heard of anyone using) the Goosky RS4 flybarless unit on this or any helicopter? I want to give it a shot, especially since it would be $90 instead of $200 lol and the M4 is roughly the same size heli as well. The RS4 flies/hovers like it is on rails, thanks! Keep up the great work, I love the build videos just as much as all the others!

Jonas (the guy that designed it) told me personally that it should actually be a good budget option to use the RS4 FBL. Would probably be a great setup for someone of less experience looking for a cheaper build

@westhobbiesrc8051

Жыл бұрын

Personally, I don’t see why it would not work. The RS4 FBL unit performs in far is great. I wish it had some more advanced tuning options and features but for the money. There’s nothing else on the market like it! The RS4 does fly great! Super solid.

​@@jiawenbao3698 I've been looking at that fbl a lot here lately. Im currently running a Ikon2 on a 230S and wouldn't mind trying this one considering all the brushless tail options. Do you have the newest version (little black one) ?

Do you think the OMP/Goosky kits are easier or harder to build than an SAB? Or, the new Align TB 600 kits which looks like a lot of the main components are already assembled but you'd just go back through and lock tight the parts.

Have both the 420 raw and M4, the M4 is waaayyyy easier to build

@westhobbiesrc8051

Жыл бұрын

So I’ve built, roughly 17 SAB RAW 420 kits. I could literally build them with my eyes closed. I personally think the RAW 420 kit is an easier build with less parts. The only thing that really separates it on the difficulty scale would be the ESC Hass to be soldered. I’m not a big fan of parts coming pre-assembled because it’s just more work to pull them all the way apart make sure everything is clean and then reassemble. I would much rather just assemble them from the bags.

Would you say this is easier to build than a RS4? Seems like it could go together very quick.

@westhobbiesrc8051

Жыл бұрын

I don’t know about easier. I would say it’s about the same build. I haven’t gotten past the stage yet, but so far it’s roughly the same.

Great video! I was following your instructions to build my first heli. I noticed a difference from the manual. The manual suggests using the inner hole for the tail horn, also the push rod is in the back side of the servo horn. Does it actually make any difference ?

@westhobbiesrc8051

Жыл бұрын

Thank you, that’s strange. My manual says outer hole? Hmmm. So personally having the hole at the outer hole for the ball link will be more responsive and less tail gain, inner hole will need more tail gain as the servo has to travel farther. And the push rod goes to the front in my manual. I will look into that.

when should i use high strength (red) or medium strength (blue) loctite

@westhobbiesrc8051

You will never need or use Red. Blue is more then enough for any heli build. I use SAB blue or loctite 243.

Wow, I was unaware of the m4! I have a question. Can you make a vid of it binding the radio master tx16s to a blade nano s3. I got the rtf version and the controller sucks. I don’t want to spend $300 on a dx6i. That would be greatly appreciated.

It is their newest model. So I unfortunately do not have a TX16S anymore. I had some issues resulting in a few crashes from radio loss and I could no longer trust the transmitter. But if you send me an email, I can send you a model file for my blade, MCPXBL2 that should work.
