XGuard Plus V3 new Features
There are two new features on the new XGuard Plus V3 backup power units. Activation of an optional locator buzzer via switch and 12V compatible.
1) The new XGuard Plus V3 allows you to use the Radio Switch to not only power off the unit after disconnecting the battery pack but also allows you to activate an optional locator buzzer so you can use it to locate your fallen aircraft when it falls in heavy vegetation areas or in places that make it difficult to locate.
2) The unit is now also compatible with 12V systems. When connected to a 12V system, it will charge up to 8.4V and then stop charging so that the capacitors are not damaged and then if the need arises it will provide 8.4V in an emergency.

Non linearity of Rack and pinion servo moving an arm
zhlédnutí 272Před 14 dny
There is a misconception about these drives. A circular drive driving a circular action is linear, in other words, as long as the radius are the same, if the servo rotates a certain amount of degrees, the receiving end rotates the same amount of degrees making it linear in other words one degree rotation produces one degree at any angle. In a linear displacement to circular system as shown, the...

Is there a trick like this for inverted flight
Watch all the episodes because inverted flying is covered across a few of them.
@@auggiecopter ok I will.. I really like the near far rudder trick, it’s so great!! I will keep watching because I need something to help me perceive the inverted orientations
Hello I love the work your doing and really appreciate all your videos as well can you give the dimensions of each Xguard from the 25, 50, and the 100 so we can decide what size would be best for the application were using it on.
It was really hard to hear what you were saying when the buzzer was blaring.
Great video, thanks!
You’re welcome 😊
Do you try and match yaw rates with flip and roll rates in your FBL?

Nice explanation Auggie, So on a flybarred heli, this does matter. With a fbl system not so much
Nice use of CAD drawing. I especially like the protractors.
Thanks for posting this. I forgot about it.
Simulators are harder to fly than a real helis nowadays, minus the pucker factor of course.
Fun competition! 😄👌🏼🚁
I received and installed the sensor today, works perfectly. Also filed the corners carefully around so it sits closer to the side. Thanks for the clear video!👍
Hi Auggie, thanks for the video, I'm practicing piroflips but I'm having a problem, I can't stay in the same place when I do the piroflips, the helicopter goes in all directions.
How long must it dry before peeling off the top coating?
I let it dry a few hours
@@auggiecopter yes thank you. Have let it dry a few hours and its ok now (second set,firts 1 come off)
This was an awesome video. My new favorite simulator. 🚁💨💯👍
Mine too 😊
Should you do this to any model your installing the dampeners in, or is it specific to the Raw 580/ Raw 700 Nitro/ Piuma considering they use the same head block. I installed some in my Nimbus 550 and ordered another set for my Tron 7.0 and Raw 700 nitro. They were pretty difficult to fit in the Nimbus and now I'm considering getting new O-rings after seeing this video and making sure to groove them out the second time around.
Incredible flight! What is your training on PC? Real Flight?
Heli-X. Look for this training technique. It's all explained in that series: czcams.com/play/PLQXNqK8ED-Ckil9fi59Atkr3hW1iinQDm.html
Impressive!
Thank you
Great flying Auggie
Thank you. Loved the Gemini 🥰
Can you still use the fan with this mount
Don’t know. Never used a fan in scorpion ESCs. I will find out.
Auggie Did you get a copy of the build manual? Just checked the website and the manual is not there. Listed but only the first few pages.
Hi looks a great quality kit but why no manual ! even on there website just a four page over view and not a build manual
There’s a PDF manual. I have a copy of it.
@@auggiecopter Hi will see if i can find the PDF file thank you for your reply
@@leepering4440 it’s not published yet. Will be out when released.
@@auggiecopter Excellent I just need to look at the manual, as this is going to be my first Heli build. I have always bought second hand Models
WOW the insides of these $2500 radios look like a 100 controller. Plastic gimbals, battery velcro'ed to the pcb, cheap pcb too, very low quality.
Radiomaster has a better pcb 😂
Excellent video, I seem to be able to follow the push around the disc but still nervous to try on my actual heli, Thinking of trying a larger push and not the rotating right stick first with a slow rotation to try and hit that synchronisation point.
That's a good approach
I have TRON Helicopters in my Bag of Wishes ( I have a fairly large Bag ) 😊
Thank you and RichardV
Great unboxing Auggie
That looks great. I think the Gemini looks pretty good with the Cybertruck style canopy!

I just don't get why we don't use a full steel rod with a carbon fiber sheath on the outside for rigidity. No glue, no complex engineering that is susceptible to user error and or damage. Just a plain ol' steel rod with threaded ends is simply tried and true, durable and anyone can assemble effortless in a minute and go fly.
I personally use Blue Loctite 243 on the threads, but no, I do not use epoxy, or JB Weld, or CA glue to bond the metal ends to the carbon rod.
Did you have to take a slight amount of sandpaper to the road ends?
@@mtb4maine No. I do generally roughen the ends of the carbon fiber rod with a file (sandpaper also works well) whenever I bond the rod to the pushrod ends with JB Weld (or CA glue), but I do not roughen the cf rod ends in this case because there is no bonding; it is purely a mechanical fastening.
With my NME kit those bushing would not fit on the rod at all, I needed to reduce the diameter by a few .001” I guess my question was more if anyone has had the same experience.
@@mtb4maine On my NME kit, fitting the carbon fiber tail rod onto the metal rod ends was a tight fit. I used a hammer to tap it in. It is important to insert the carbon fiber tail rod all the way onto the rod ends until until it bottoms out, otherwise you risk it coming loose. I guess reducing the carbon fiber rod outer diameter with fine grit sandpaper would have worked, but I preferred to lightly tap it in with a hammer.
I’ll try that next time. Thanks!
Hello Auggie, Is the carbon not cracking, because its a verry rigid material?
The carbon rod ends WILL split and deform a bit when using these reusable "push rod ends". This is not an issue whatsoever as far as safety and performance of this assembled unit. It would become an issue if you were for some reason wanting to use the carbon rod itself in another project. In other words, the assembled push rods ends could be unassembled and be used in other projects, but not the carbon rod itself unless you saw off the "damaged" ends.
What John Hamel said is correct. They will split in the ends but because it doesn't allow expansion in the straig portion this split doesn't travel further out
Great video Auggie
I hope we can see honest m7 review So far all review on CZcams made by sponsors
I'm not sponsored by anyone. I'm good friends with all the manufacturers, I like flying and I like to have all kind of different brands so no problem with that here.

I use quest 3 to play heli-x for almost a year. I would suggest wired headsets if you specifically use vr for rc sims. If possible buy a rift-s or quest pro or other wired headsets.
Is there a way to convert regular switch to momentary?
If you look at the video you can see that the way to ptrevent the full switching is by preventing the full swing so that the rocker will rest fully with the piston pushing to keep it in place. If you solder a piece of metal to the contact that’s connected to the wire so that the rocker won’t swing fully you will have restored it but at that point it’s probably easier to just order a replacement.
@@auggiecopter Im trying to find MOM version of regular switch for month already with no luck. I have specific size (in black dji fpv remote) 8x8x5mm

Auggie, can you post the preferred computer (Mac or PC) setup for Heli-X with the Oculus Quest 3? Thnx!
Can this be adapted to work with quest series goggles? Like quest 2 or 3?
Yes it works with Quest 2 and HTC Vive, hp reverb and pretty much any capable VR goggles.
Man, I've been wanting a VR headset for a LOOOONG time!😮
Just got this sim, after stepping away from the hobby to work on my health. Now that I'm back in the hobby, I have decided to up my flying. Thanks for the videos. On to #4 now!
will these work with a raw 420 skid with it being so small
Yes they are adjustable to very small diameters
could you just use half if you want to transport 2-3 helis
Yes absolutely
Ih, I purchased your os gasre converter box . I have an Ikon brain and a futaba rx and tx16ix. My Ikon sees the RPM signal. But I can't get it to pass the RPM signal over to my transmitter. And my rx Tell lametri capable. I see my temp signal and my battery voltage.
That’s not related to the rpm sensor. If your ikon can see the rpm it means the sensor is working correctly. Now you will need to connnect it to the futaba receiver to be able to send the telemetry to your futaba transmitter.
@@auggiecopter Thanks for the reply.
Thank you sooo much for this information. I learned more from this video than I have in several years of flying. Seriously....Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome ☺️
