Hedanksmemus. The numbers are pretty much the same on both motors but the Xnova motor will give a bit more power and run cooler. I have a Xnova TAREQ EDITION motor in this heli now and the XTS series are supposedly not too far behind in power. When looking for a motor one of the numbers I look at is the watts the motor has ( 750 watts = 1hp ) peak power and continues power.

Great Flight buddy. That one seems to cook pretty good through the sky. I built my first 700 this weekend, the Raw Piuma. I am such a huge fan of SAB and i love the slow, big air, slow 3d stuff. My maiden was about an hour ago and she did great, was just a hover and small circles but was nervous as heck, my thumbs were shaking. My headspeed was at 1050 with 18t pinion and 115 tails(SAB Brand). HW 120A ESC Egodrift 4025 1050 kv Pulse 5300 6s Spirit gt fbl Torq mini servos on cyclic(used raw 580 mounts) and full size on tail. Receiver is just 1 SRXL2. Tried using DSMX sats with it but spirit doesnt allow them to mingle like IKON does. So gonna get another SRXL2 and just run those 2. Using the TX16S but can't seem to get a straight answer on a good small receiver. Next up after i recoup from all this spending will be a conversion to RAW 700 canopy and black skids. Thanks for all the great videos. Take care. -Mike

Hi kaidok, congrats on the successful maiden of your new Raw Piuma ( awesome heli ) sounds like you have great setup. I know how you feel when you lift off a new heli I still get kinda sick on maiden day there’s so much running thru your head on what terrifying thing could happen let alone lifting off your first 700 class heli…it’s a awesome achievement! Sorry I can’t help with your TX16S satellite options as I have no knowledge of the radio you’re using. Like to add one more thing welcome to the big leagues not many of us 700 pilots around
@kaidok9314Ай бұрын
@@helithunder56 Thank you, and yes i too know that sick feeling. :) It's fine on the receiver i believe i have decided either on the RP3-H new one from RadioMaster(if i can figure how to wire it) or just running another SRXL2 for safety backup. Honestly and this is probably my ignorance but i'm not sure why i would need another reciever because been flying with one SRXL2 on 400 forever but hit the 700 and that's all i hear. I'm guessing it's mainly because of the destruction factor if it fails.

With any heli larger than a 380 class heli you need a reciever plus a satellite or 2 satellites for added diversity so you don’t lose control of your heli.

Hedanksmemus. The numbers are pretty much the same on both motors but the Xnova motor will give a bit more power and run cooler. I have a Xnova TAREQ EDITION motor in this heli now and the XTS series are supposedly not too far behind in power. When looking for a motor one of the numbers I look at is the watts the motor has ( 750 watts = 1hp ) peak power and continues power.
Great Flight buddy. That one seems to cook pretty good through the sky. I built my first 700 this weekend, the Raw Piuma. I am such a huge fan of SAB and i love the slow, big air, slow 3d stuff. My maiden was about an hour ago and she did great, was just a hover and small circles but was nervous as heck, my thumbs were shaking. My headspeed was at 1050 with 18t pinion and 115 tails(SAB Brand). HW 120A ESC Egodrift 4025 1050 kv Pulse 5300 6s Spirit gt fbl Torq mini servos on cyclic(used raw 580 mounts) and full size on tail. Receiver is just 1 SRXL2. Tried using DSMX sats with it but spirit doesnt allow them to mingle like IKON does. So gonna get another SRXL2 and just run those 2. Using the TX16S but can't seem to get a straight answer on a good small receiver. Next up after i recoup from all this spending will be a conversion to RAW 700 canopy and black skids. Thanks for all the great videos. Take care. -Mike
Hi kaidok, congrats on the successful maiden of your new Raw Piuma ( awesome heli ) sounds like you have great setup. I know how you feel when you lift off a new heli I still get kinda sick on maiden day there’s so much running thru your head on what terrifying thing could happen let alone lifting off your first 700 class heli…it’s a awesome achievement! Sorry I can’t help with your TX16S satellite options as I have no knowledge of the radio you’re using. Like to add one more thing welcome to the big leagues not many of us 700 pilots around
@@helithunder56 Thank you, and yes i too know that sick feeling. :) It's fine on the receiver i believe i have decided either on the RP3-H new one from RadioMaster(if i can figure how to wire it) or just running another SRXL2 for safety backup. Honestly and this is probably my ignorance but i'm not sure why i would need another reciever because been flying with one SRXL2 on 400 forever but hit the 700 and that's all i hear. I'm guessing it's mainly because of the destruction factor if it fails.
With any heli larger than a 380 class heli you need a reciever plus a satellite or 2 satellites for added diversity so you don’t lose control of your heli.
@@helithunder56 That explanation made more sense to me then what anyone else has said, their comment was mostly " it's just needed" lol! Thank ya. Have a great one.
That’s the frustrating part of most answers you get they are usually half answers that really don’t help much.
Well I'm getting one, it's beautiful , Align hit it out of the park this time.
Hi merlavery, I’m sure you’ll love the TB70 mine went together without issue. It’s a great looking / very rigid airframe and with the 850mx motor it’ll do anything want
Sounds great as always, those loops are so cool! Have a great Memorial Day Heli Thunder✌️
Hi Randyman,nice to hear from you,hope you have good holiday weekend too!
Trying to find videos of these blades is difficult. I want to see the orange flying but I haven't found a single video
This video makes me want to go and fly my helicopter. But I don’t have a helicopter. I just need to save more money and I will get Align T15. For now a I have 105 dollars.
Hi Micro, no fun when you can’t go and fly….hang in there you have a good amount saved it just takes time.
If you have a 105 Dollars maybe go with a Blade Nano or something and practice until you have the money saved for a bigger one ;)
U get the tb70 v2 fixes with the new model?
Hi sawyer, nope my kit was purchased before the upgrades where released
You have such a nice flying field
Hi Huevos, definitely lucky to be able to fly there it’s not easy to find large fields to fly in my area.
@@helithunder56 have you got any friends that fly too. Or a local flying field somewhere close by?
No local flying clubs or flying fields near the closest is about a hour and a half away and don’t know any other rc pilots, have always flown my helis by myself.
@@helithunder56 oh man. Sorry to hear. Hopefully you can find someone to fly with soon. Friends make it more fun. Where abouts are you located?
no need to feel sorry for me flying alone….much prefer to fly by myself and it would just be too distracting to have someone else around. I live in the middle of corn country here in Iowa.
I actually like that canopy design. And no supports for the boom. Good looking heli. When im ready to take the jump to 700 size, I'm thinking this lr the Tron
Hi Huevos, this TB70 is a very well designed designed / looking heli at a great price if you go with the tron you will probably spend at least another 1000.00 dollars to get the heli in the air which is your choice. Align helis are the best bang for the buck machines around and am very happy with the ones I have
@@helithunder56 that's why I'm considering it. But I know the Tron is doing the dnamic combo too. But I think it's still more expensive
not sure of the tron combo price but still probably more costly, if the TB70 is your first 700 class heli you won’t be disappointed
@@helithunder56 they're both 1650 haha. But I know align parts with be well available for a while. I'll probably end up with the Tron 5.5 and the tb70. But I'm a ways away from either at the moment anyway
i gave 1350.00 dollars for my super combo TB70 on a thanksgiving day sale from helidirect and you’re correct on parts availablity. Always a tuff decision on which heli to buy.
Very cool looking machine. Did ALIGN fix the main gear issue with it stripping out? I heard that the main gear was a little soft.
Hi Samsly, maybe if you fly like Tareq you might have a problem with the TBJ70 main gear…. Probably just the usual Align bashing that happens when a new model is released. Lots of videos showing pilots are quite happy flying the TB70. No issues with my new build,its a well designed heli and am quite happy with it.
Awesome Micro there buddy 😁
Hi kaidok, awesome heli indeed… can’t wait to get it in air!
That aint micro.
its a bit bigger indeed
My xk k110s helicópter tail motor isn’t working correctly because of all the flights the brushed motor is not very powerful to hold the helicopter. The trex T15 es a better helicopter because it has a brushless tail motor
I’m sure you love the T15 it’s a great heli with reasonably priced parts and supply
Great flight, I really need a good quality helicopter. Xk and eachine brand it is not a good brand. I am thinking of buying an Align Trex T15 helicópter. Is the trex t15 a good helicopter do you recommend it ?
Hi Micro, the Align T15 is a great heli make sure to buy a few xtra main blades and swash to blade grip links which is usually what breaks in a crash if anything,tuff little heli that’s well built and flys pretty awesome…highly recommend it
@@helithunder56 thank you I will sure buy the Trex T15 Helicopter.
Hi John, how you doing,it's been a while huh,as always your flight performance is wicked awesome,take care now 👍🏻
Hi Melvin, life’s good with nothing to complain about. Great to hear from you and hope you’re doing well and enjoying our awesome hobby
Your channel has a lot of flight videos. Other channels don’t have a lot of flight videos. It amazing to see that you upload every single flight. Other pilots don’t upload every flight they make.
Hi Micro, while most heli pilots don’t post many flight videos I like sharing my videos to whoever wants to see a alternative to 3D smack flying and I’m quite amazed at how many watch them.
Awesome flight!! I love my 550X!! How do you like the Synergy blades vs the stock blades?
Hi kingfamily,the 550x was my first big heli and absolutely love flying it, the synergy rail 556mm blades really fly better than the stock align blades, more agile / improved tracking and faster overall… a good investment that I don’t think you would be disappointed in purchasing.
Great flight! That looks like a very beefy machine, very cool. Out of all the kits you have built, what would you say is the highest quality heli that you have/ or seen? Thank you!
Hi kaidok, probably the soXos strike 7.1… it’s well designed, a very rigid airframe,low vibration level and the easiest tail setup of all the kits I have assembled.flys best on the included 1st 690mm main blades,it’s a great precise flying heli and would highly recommend the kit.
@@helithunder56 Thank you. I just built the RAW 420 competition gonna maiden it tomorrow, well hover lol not much room where im at right now but even hovering and a small circle is pleasing to me. :) I was interested to hear your opinion on a quality kit. Thanks again for the info and the awesome flight videos.
Lots a guys very happy with the RAW 420, flying in tight quarters will help with precision control. Once you learn how to fly circles it really opens up your flight envelope what I do is just fly bigger circles simple stuff but very pleasing to me also!. As far as what heli kit I like best it’s really a personal choice and right now you can’t really buy a bad kit SAB / ALIGN / soXos / XLpower all great kits to build n fly!
@@helithunder56 Thanks for the info, Have a good one :)
@@helithunder56 Had to pop back on here since i just did the maiden. It did outstanding, not a wag(i have trouble in past with this) nothing. It was solid and felt so light in a hover. When i did a full collective pump it shot up very quick and no bog. I'm so happy right now i can chisel this dumb smile i'm wearing. Hace a great day! My setup: Pulse 2400 Torq servos TX16S-Spectrum SRXL2 Spirit GT(I love this FBL) RT blades Egodrift 3220 900kv-20t pinion HW 60a-i am moving to an 80a 12 degress of pitch at linear curve and 1800 to 1900 or so RPM :) :) :)
Beautiful flying style with such confidence to manage that monster beast! Well done 👏 and enjoying your videos! Cheers 🇦🇺
Hi ruimessias, thanks for the awesome compliment on my flying
That GSP Jet Ranger was pretty!
Hello, How many helicopters do you have? 😊
Hi Daniel, 40 helis that are flight ready and a few helis that need work…nearly a full hanger.
@@helithunder56 I'm excited 😎
Sweeet! ALZRC Pilot here.
Hi bp814, glad you enjoyed my video
Fantastic to see you out and Flyingin the beautiful weather again!! I hope that you are well and living the dream!!! ❤️🙏❤️
Hi Larry, beautiful spring weather and helis…doesn’t get any better
Ya know the hard 3d smack guys are great and they are seriously skilled, BUT seriously too many think that is a must when flying an rc heli and it's not. Of course fly how you want but watching this slow, methodical flight is art to me. Man i love heli's. Thanks for sharing
Hi kaidok, exactly how feel too about the smack stuff,was never interested in it. Love this big air style of flying
what size and kv is this motor?
Hi RotoRcol, the Xnova XTAREQ is a 4535 550kv motor…never stops pulling
@@helithunder56thanks
The helicopter looks beautiful, and what a beautiful sky. At 0:16 yo can see the SOXOS 7.1 in the back. Then in 0:26 you can see the goblin 500. It seems like the video was taken in two different days. It is great to see 3 helicopters in this video.
Hi Micro, two videos edited in LumaFusion to form one video….just to add more interest
Great flight friend! If nothing else i can see just about every heli tested/ flown here, you got a hell of a fleet🤣🤣
Hi kaidok, like flying different brands and class of helis I’m very fortunate to have a full hangar
Excellent flying. Love the sound too! Great work
Hi Darryl, does sound pretty awesome definitely has a unique growl to it
Super nice Dominator series ! Rock solid, I find them way better built than the TB series for some reason, like always, great flying 👏
Hi rchelihead, the Dominators were pretty refined O’ver time. I’m sure they will in time do the same with the TB series. Haven’t maidened my TB70 as of yet but the kit went together without issue and the machining and figment was spot on…looking forward to flying it!
Damn auto correct ment to be over time and fitment
@@helithunder56 yeah ! I agree, been flying for many years myself and have seen the Aligns evolve over time. Wish you all the best for the maiden of TB70 👍
Definitely hope it goes well….pretty soon
@@helithunder56 👍
The trex 550 just flies like if the wind isn’t even there. Flying a micro helicopter in wind is diferente because we need to fight every second of wind. The trex 550 isn’t affected by the wind
Hi Micro, with micro helis they are much more affected by wind but it will make you a better pilot if you keep flying in it… 550x Dominator and larger just eats it up which equals more flying time!
