- Great time flying the new Raw 580 Nitro in the backyard this 4th of July weekend. For those of you interested, here is my setup:
O.S. 50 Hyper (not .55)
Hatori SB50 pipe (found in stash of old stuff!)
Switch 603XF main blades
Stock SAB tail blades
8.6:1 gear ratio
vBar Neo
ManiaX 2s 3500 mAH receiver pack
Theta DH1 (low profile cyclic)
Theta Sabre-C1 (mini servo for throttle)
Theta TH1 (low profile tail servo)
XGuard RC Pro Igniter & back plate RPM sensor
Loving this setup, it is quite different than stock. The different gear ratio and longer blades make it feel like a true 600 class machine. However, you can't go wrong with the stock gear ratio and 580mm blades. The new S line blades from SAB rock and the heli is more forgiving to poor collective/cyclic management. I am used to the feel of a 600, so this is why I went this route.
I am so glad we have belt driven tails back.
The legend it’s back !!! We need Bobby now
Awesome skill , been watching your stuff for years now! Nitro 580 is a must have! Thanks Bert.
Gerald jernigan- awesome flight you are truly a top notch pilot with mad skills and the 580 is an awesome Heli.
Please keep up your teaching,
Your truly an inspiration to all pilots, thanks Bert
great flight! listen to it with headphones and hear how perfect Bert's collective is. those blades pop and that's the most power I've seen from that size nitro heli
Keep up the great products and flying. You are an inspiration to many pilots out here including me thanks for what you do for the hobby and keeping it alive.
Thank you for the kind words Jon!
OMG that's like a totally out of control helicopter but in control, doff my hat to the pilot you sir are amazing on those sticks 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome flying Bert. You are very smooth and precise! Been a fan since flybar days. Love your work!
Thank you for the kind words man.
Слов нет виртуозное владение мастерством управление моделью.
Damn Bert! Killin it as always man! That low smack is great!
Beautiful Flight Bert! The 4th was obviously with you! I hope you and your Mrs. had a Wonderful Holiday Weekend!
Now that thing looks like a blast Bert !!! Nice flying ..
Awesome flight ! Theres nothing like the smell of nitro no matter what time of day it is !
Tuned spot on. Great flight.
Super video, super, super. Respect
Way to go,Bert!
🔥🔥🔥
Ok man. You need that .55 HZR dog. That 50 sounds like a cow in the field that ate some crack.
Lol nope. Been doing nitro since 1983. I much prefer this engine.
@@BertKammerer ok. You can keep it. It does seem dependable. Awesome job with the heli community. 🙃 I’m headed to the field now. Ripper time.
Nice flight. I thought you didn't like them dirty oily nitros
Thank you! I have always loved nitro, I just can't stand the clean up lol
Hey Bert nice flying as always! Question, why can’t SAB make a canopy scheme like this Raw 580 nitro for the Raw 580 electric! The raw 580 electric flys awesome but the canopy needs to go. Atleast offer a different type of canopy scheme options for both the Raw 580 nitro and electric.
Hmmm don’t know? Lol. I know you can use this nitro canopy on your electric Raw 580. It fits perfectly.
Bert, could the regular Raw 580 electric Canopy fit on the Nitro Raw 580 without any cutting/modifications? Im thinking of getting back to nitros and the Raw 580N looks like a feasible option.
You have to cut a little bit where the bottom of the muffler is, but it is very little. Super easy to do. I recommend sticking with the nitro canopy as it is clear coated. The electric stock canopy has a matte finish and the nitro will eat it up. Alternatively you can get the new white/orange canopy that is made for the electric and cut it a bit to fit the pipe. That one is clear coated.
@@BertKammerer Understood. Thanks Bert!!
ya, this video clinched it and I ordered one from you last week. I happened to have the same motor sitting around so it was a sign. ok I have a question before I order my servos from you this week, I haven't seen a 580 yet running mini cyclic's, which is the mounts it comes with right? everyone seems to be running the optional full size mounts. I was planning on running mini but now I see you running the low profile 40 mm and im thinking theres a reason not to run mini? one more, do I have to have an android to program the theta's? thanks and awesome flight!
Hey Michael, minis are preferred as they’re much lighter! I happen to run full size because I already had them. If you want NFC programmable mini servos, you’ll need the Sabre-C1 servos. If you decide to run full size then you’ll need to purchase the full size servo mounts. Part number H1217H1207-S.
@@BertKammerer ok thanks a bunch, I used Torq mini's and flew the maiden today in 25mph winds!! so smooth. I do have another question, do you use servo grommets on nitro heli's? I noticed the manual doesn't show them installed and my links are slightly angled using the grommets that come with the torq servos. (the square ones) I also noticed it seems the kit had screws for both applications. your thoughts?? thank you very much for the info.
@@michaelvickers8575 I don't use grommets, but some people think they're needed. I have never had an issue, especially with a small nitro like this one.
H Bert i, can't mount the OEM motor belt with the OWB pulley of 54T for the 600 blade setup,, I need a more large motor belt? or it's the same and has some trick to mount. Thanks
Yes same motor belt. Only need to change pulley.
@@BertKammerer can't mount. Can you give me some advice. Tip of how to mount
@@BertKammerer Thanks! Solved!
Bert , do you remember how many rpm do you have in this flight? ...
Sorry for the late reply. 2250 RPM with the 54t pulley, which is the correct ratio for the OS 50 and OS 55. This puts the motor where it needs to be for maximum torque.
👍
What's your recommend setting for rpm with stock 580 blades?
Depends on your motor, the OS 50 and OS 55 are happy at 2200-2300 with stock blades and stock gear ratio.
@@BertKammerer yes running os 55 hyper with stock setup out of the box
Wanna help out the less fortunate ???? I'm disabled and can't afford a new heli so so you have an old one you want to get rid of ????
What kind of fuel??
This is RotorRage 22.5% just because I still have some left for my OS 105, so not the ideal fuel for a 50 size engine. Should pull more and better with 30%, which is what I will be running in the future. Unfortunately RotorRage went out of business so I’ll have to run something else.
