- In today’s video we get the maiden flight on the Comet V2! After 10 months of waiting and getting custom parts made the comet is back! Better than ever! 16s with a custom Xnova motor. This thing is going to be a rocket.

The nerves on the maiden of a new Heli is real . Just hoping nothing unexpected rears its head with any of the systems .
Beast !! What a beauty
@@highlightspotent127 nervous are very high! I hope not as well. Mechanically it’s built perfectly but of course there is always electronic gremlins!
That thing is sick, brother! I can’t wait to see a full-speed run.
Thank you! I can’t wait either! Next time, Out I will go full RPM and full pitch. See what it’ll do.
Beautiful heli, keep em coming! 😁
Thank you! It’s my pride and joy!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 looks like it with how well its maintained, if im correct these are discontinued right?
Badass. I can feel the anxiety just watching the video
Just wait till the EVO flies lol
Jeff, another amazing build, this helicopter 🚁 is a real Frankenstein, with Kraken tail parts and all of the custom made billet aluminum / carbon fiber parts, X-Nova motor with your channels name on it, look 👀 out Tareq Alsaadi there’s a new helicopter king. 🤣😂 Totally cool 😎 rotracting landing skid 👍🏻
Thank you! It’s been a long time in the works lots of custom parts waiting on stuff to come from Germany, but it is finally done! Should not be more excited and happy. I got my two motors! Second One will be shown very soon!
Stunning. A work of art really.
A modern marvel of rotory engineering.
It really is! Peace of art!
Super cool heli!
The drive belt on this heli is one beefy piece of hardware to handle all that torque!
Yes, it is! Custom made to handle this power
That thing goes faster than some of my planes! 🤣 Great work!
@@rcplanesandfriends3067 just wait! This is only about half the power in this video! 😳 Thank you!
Amazing ❤
Thank you!
That’s a sweet looking Heli. Cant wait to see it at full speed. If you need any tips, I know a friend. 😂😂. Great flying Jeff.
Thanks buddy! I can’t wait to see a full pass either! I’ll have to ask him for some tips! 🤣
Congratulations!!! Sweet 👍
Thank you!
Out damn standing brother. Great flight and beautiful heli. I dig that landing gear too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Mike! I appreciate it. The retractable skid is awesome.
So cool
It really is!
Nice work
Thank you!
Crazy 😮
Congratulations and great upgrade
Thank you! Well worth upgrade!
Man you just keep bring. Can’t wait to see what it will do. Good luck at the comp.
Thank you! I tried to pump out as many videos as possible
Awesome helicopter 👍
Thank you! It’s my baby lol
nice video, perfect fly , no oneway .... at start i am at 1900 RMP , i add more gain to tail too , less gain in bank 2 then 3
@@laurentbourgon4614 Thank you! You designed an incredibly set of mechanics! Great job. What tail gain are you running in all three banks?
Damn Ifelt your nervousness but that's why I love heli's
They can definitely make you nervous! This one definitely had my nerves up!
the engineering looks gorgeous! Glad that everything went well. It's really against typical reflexes to not have OWB :)
@@lev_on_heli they did an incredible job designing these mechanics. I can’t wait for the next time out to give it all the power and see what it’ll do. It is very strange to not have a one-way bearing on a large sized helicopter. It’s definitely gonna take some getting used to lol
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Yeah, that thing will go fast, I'm sure :) on OWB - just put a masking tape on the blades with a label that says "DON'T DO AUTO" 😂
That will be like "remove before flight" with an extra memo :)
Wow. How did you come up with that idea. That is super cool that you were able to find someone to manufacture this for you. Looking forward to some more great videos and some insane speed runs. Congrats also for being on the BK team. No IRCHA for me this year either so another year until I can finally get to meet you. Hopefully one day. Although maybe that time you will be too famous and unreachable 😉
@@toadiscoil I’ll never be to famous or unreachable. I’ll always be the same person! Here to help everyone in this hobby! Maybe you can go next year! IRCHA is the one event I make sure to go to every year and would like to go to more. So I have ideas all the time lol I didn’t come up with this one. They did! It just took me almost a year for them to even consider making it for me. (Of course it was not cheap lol) but wait for the other comet….. Thank you! It was a while in the works on BK. But very glad to be apart of the team!
What a beast helicopter awesome as frig
@@speedcrusader3779 Thank you! It’s a monster!
I hope one day to own a goblin comet, i have a mini comet right now but i really just dont see me being able to find a comet that easily, the mini comet was rare enough as it was
That is for sure a beast, LOL
That the one you are using for the speed competition? What is the max head speed? Fantastic heli. Thanks for the great video
This is one of them! The other one will be shown very soon lol max head speed is 2800 to 3000 RPM right around there. It’s a monster!
Wild
Good luck
Thank you!
Good luck at IRCHA Jeff. Only wish I was going so I could meet you in person my friend...
Thank you! I wish you could go too, it would be great to meet you in person. I’m going to be making a video soon announcing the days I will be there and where I will be.
Very nice. 🚁
Thank you!
Congrats for that heli and a good maiden! 👌🏼 never have seen a heli with retracts and neither 16S 🤣 👍🏼
@@ficosk8 Thank you! Wait for the next one… lol it’s a beast, can’t wait to get more flights on it! I can’t wait to unleash the 16s of power!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Looking forward to that and wish alls the best! :D
Hey Jeff . Nice shirt . So with out the one way Bering when cutting power the Torq of the blades take over . So you have to cut power when on the ground .
Thank you! It is a nice shirt, yes so this model will have to be landed with power. No cutting power above the ground I learned my lesson lol
Have you thought about buying a Henseleit Heli?
@@silentbob3999 I have a Henseleit on the channel. TDS
She flies and sounds great!!! Congratulations! Taking it to the Speed Cup at IRCHA?
@@sashaV55 thank you! I can’t wait to get more flights in and turn it all the way up! Yes sir! It’s going to speed cup! And the other one….l lol
very cool buddy
@@biscaolena thank you buddy!
THATS a amazing heli my friend! Flynn butiful my friend!! Kind of greets Henkie from the netherlands
Very cool machine. Im trying to learn about speed flying. What does the tail fin actually do!? and why is it set at a 16° angle!?
Thank you! It’s a work of art lol so one of the biggest issues with flying helicopters fast is Blade stall. Luckily these blades don’t really stall like a traditional blade as they have a crazy design to them, but the nose does like the pitch up under a full pass or when you unsettled the helicopter under hard pitch transitions. The horizontal thin is a flying surface and like an airplane it holds that tail at that angle. You set the fin to the angle of forward flight and it will help steady and keep the helicopter tracking straight.
Oh wowowowow
It’s amazing!
Great vid Jeff - mind explaining again why no 1 way bearing? I wouldn't have thought power of motor would make a difference? Beauty of a Comet - expected top speed? Thanks again.
@@HeliShed thank you buddy! So this setup will make 20,000 watts! Yes 20,000 lol it has been tested by the guy who made these mechanics and every time the OWB would let go. So to eliminate failures he said don’t run one. It has the power to go over 200mph.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Thanks pal - perhaps he should design one? I assume because of the headspeed it would let go??
@@HeliShed he might have designed a speed heli….. hmmm! We will see 🧐 head speed is not the issue it’s the power being the issue.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 thanks pal.
So, Jeff, how fast WILL it go???
@@alangrant7349 very! Let just say over 200mph but we will see soon!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 YIKES!
She screams!
Just wait! There is a lot more lol
Hey can you make a video on how to setup gov on the 580 nitro raw? Please
@@edgardojagr216 I have a video on nitro governor with ikon. What FBL?
looks suspiciously like a goblin.....
@@gavinausten1825 the swash plate, head block and blade grips are SAB, the tail grips, slider and links and fuse are stock goblin. Everything else is custom made. If you ever seen a stock Comet you could definitely tell.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Ok so not goblin but some goblin...hmmmm
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Im not paid by goblin or adiated with them....just commenting.
@@gavinausten1825 yes it’s a mixture.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Ok
16s.....ummmm
@@jerryboics9550 yes 16s
