Rx pack

[squeaky pete]

My set up on my n5
Align ds610's on cyclic
Align 520 on thottle
Align ds620/spartan on the arse end
Flighttech reg
Ar7100 rx
Csm revlock 10
And a outrage nrg 2600mah rx pack

All the links are free and smooth, theres no binding at all, used to have this pack on my n9 for a while, the n9 has jr8915's on cyclic and i cld get over 5flights and only put back 600/800mah

But on my n5 with the above set up, ive literally just given it one flight, was a hard beating flight and am charging the pack, its not even finished yet and it has 274mah gone back in!!!!!! Just one flight!!!!!!

Are the align servos that juicy??? I run them in a ely q with the same set up, apart from the reg (align 2in1) and a 5000mah outrage pack and get well over gallon of flying on it lol this cant be right

I have DS610s and a 620 on my 600 tail. I reckon on 4 flights out of a 1900mAh pack before I call it a day.

[GravityKills]

my 600 with 610 on cyclic draws over 300 mAh per flight, but it's flybarless.
The 700 (also FBL) can draw up to 600 mAh.
Nothing wrong with your heli. I recharge or change the LiPo every two flights.

Rx pack

17mins in to the charge, nearly 365mah back in

[squeaky pete]

Rx pack

But i was runnin it on the n9 and getting more flights than this lol this is stupid!!!! Grrrrrrrrr

[squeaky pete]

Rx pack

375mah back in the pack after a single flight lol how many flights can i get on that then???

[chris jones2.4]

my dad has 610s running 6v, 3700mah 2s lipo, hes getting about 6 or 7 flights in his 700 and only putting 2000mah back in it,

[Swashbuckler]

On the Velo Pete I use 3-400 mah per 8 min flight, actually it's the same with all mine - N9, Srimok, the lot. Some have bls, one has 8717s, and the velo has Malign 610s. So I'd agree with Martin, 4 flights to a 2000mah pack. Some are regulated others are 8v straight thru but it is always is the same. Are you telling us that you have sorted out cracking chaos and are doing it for the whole flight??

Rx pack

So on a 2600mah pack i shld be ok with 5 flights and charge up????

[Sesame]

2600 80% = 2080/375 = 5.5466666666666

so yeah 5 flight you should be ok, but probably not in the cold weather

have to say all my helis are using roughly the same each flight, including a couple of them with aligns in.

Are you leaving the pack connected Pete when not flying? The AR7100 has a quiescent draw so it could be discharging while you are sleeping

[Tom Burgess]

As does the flighttech reg

[zoombolt]

After a recent 'in' due to a drained rx battery, I now re-charge or change my 1900 2s after 3 flights & 3600 2s after 5.

Pete the 610's are really thirsty once you start throwing the heli about a bit!
