Afred Garcia is flying this low RPM Assault 800. I do not know him personally. It is good to see other Assaults stretched to 800. My last video was recorded year ago. (post #4 in this thread). Now I fly higher RPMs.

Assault 800 can fly at 1000-1800 RPM range
Assault 700 can handle even 2400 RPM (not recommended)

I do not know my exact RPM. I use low and high RPMs but nothing extreme.
Keep in mind I use 4.2kW motor designed for 700 in my 800 so I can not push it really hard.

Check this:

 

I celebrate small achievement. Gartt 800 thread reached 20 000 views in 800 electric subforum on HF. It is second most popular thread after I got banned from HF year ago. I was flying 800 and 700 last Sunday and they still make me smile.

 

Nice one, it will get more views I'm sure.

I'm just about to get hold of my package from Hk with different sized servo pushrods to try out on my assault.
Meanwhile I'm trying to get my garage sorted and my lathe back on a bench, well that's easter hols sorted for me

All the best for the holidays if you are celebrating them

 

Good to see you on Heligods! Happy Easter

Too bad Ready Heli is gone...

 

Can anybody do me a favour to help me hit the sweet spot in my assault 700, I'm setting the swash at the mo, and would appreciate any measurements for bottom of swash to top bearing plate, to achieve zero pitch

 

All depends on servos you use. Setting zero pitch is quite simple. Just make both DFC arms (ball links) equal in lenght. Fine tuning during first flight with new blades can be necessary. Not all blades are perfectly identical in shape.

Setting servo pushrods is also quite simple they have to be same lenght. Their lenght depends on servo geometry which can be variable. Simple rule is to get symmetric positive and negative angles.

Good luck... do not be affraid to experiment a little.

 

Thanks got there in the end using trial and error, it actually took no longer than using a measurement and working from there.

Just used same methods as my other helis, I guess I was just being a bit lazy asking for a measurement.
My new pushrods have arrived and I'm between trying to build the heli and getting the household diy done, at the moment the diy is winning as it normally teaches me a few lessons along the way.

 

20500 and counting...

 

Hi @utrinque... Can you post a new video as well? Very interesting to watch how the "Big Bird" flies...

 

Actually my flying skills are not progressing. Sure I will post a video. Too bad weather is horrible. Cold, raining, windy. I do not mind strong winds but I hate to fly when it is raining and cold.

I am not obsessed with practicing new tricks. I am to lazy for hours of sym practice. I am just good enough not to crash. My colleagues fly better than me.

Did you see those clips of me flying?:

 

OK, Dunkan is Gaui face, Bert was SAB, Tareq is omnipotential prince.

Alan makes me happy:

Old video:

New video:

 

Nothing fancy. Today I had cold, weak lipos. RPM was lower than usual. I like strong wind but I fly higher when it is windy. In 700 I use much higher RPM.

 

Nice flying in heavy wind, I'm looking forward to getting mine in the air in 700 guise first, then low headspeed on 6 s if it's possible

 

Thank you. You are very kind. I am not particularly proud of my flying skills. Benji even told me that it is NOT good advertisement for Assault. Whatever. I like him. I am happy I fly 800 and did not crash it for around a year. I hope Smackmeharder is not dissapointed .

Others push it much harder so I feel pretty safe.

I like this "vintage" video:

 

Hey thats some nice flying. The 800 handles the wind really well. The flips and rolls were nice and tight. The 800 has a big presence in the sky.... i mean HUGE... That was some nice flying @utrinque, well done! Thanks for posting the video

 

MAN... 15KG. And that was not even its maximum... Imagine 800 blades with a super massive motor... i have seen two helicopters lift a girl....Another old video but an amazing demonstration of how much lift power is in an RC helicopter..

 

I did not fly for few months except some warm days. I am waiting for sunny warm day to record better video. I will put nicer canopy . This one was especially for you.

Heating lipos before flight can provide more power. I should increase throttle curve.

I am not paranoid about safety but this girl probably was not aware of potential danger. Good to see her in one piece.

Another Assault.

Setup is interesting:

- RJX Heckrotorblétter 105mm
- Turnigy SK3 4962 / 480 KV Motor
- YGE16OHV (V-Stabi Govenor) Regler
- V Stabi
- 3X MKS HBL950(Taumelsoheibe), 1xMKS HBL980(HeC1<)

Folgende Teile wurden vorab getauscht:
7 Taumelsoheibe (HN7017QF)
Hauptzahnrad (H70G002XXT)
7 Autorotationszahnrad (H70110)

I generalny like Chinese helis.

I hate Chinese fake phablets and fake batteries:

Beware, there are tons of them. It is easy to get ripped off.

On the other hand I respect the fact that Xiaomi maks good phones and I would never get iPhone (Made also in China) over Note 2 or 4.

Sorry for off-topic.

 

Benji sent me a Photo.

We call it "Master and Servant"

Another one, all stock:
