I think you'll find there on about a review in an american magazine.

AHHHHHHH stupid me sorry

Good honest write up i thought,

be interesting though if you had all three as standard straight out of the box against each other, and see what comes out on top.......

However, it's still a case of what floats your own personal boat... Try reviewing a Ferrari Enzo against a Skoda Felicia... each have their strong points, but Skoda wins hands down every time on servicing costs, cost per mile, taxation, insurance grouping, ease of parking... just perhaps not in the time to 70mph or stakes or chick-pulling capability.

Actually it took 3 weeks and a day to convert a skoda into a babe magnet. we cut the front and roof off and turned it into a trike... Didnt do a lot for the top speed but the taxation class went down to trycycle £40/year. Never let it be said you cant cheepen a skoda... Its been done..

I have flown many Raptors out of the box and with the standard head you cannot get more than 10° maybe 10.5° out of the head, the pitch response also feels very laggy, it is more of a sports heli capable of 3D rather than hardcore 3D out the box (IMO).

Therefore the stright out the box result would be

Knight 3D
Trex 600N
Raptor Titan

Skoda's are good cars now, my mate had a 2.5 Octavia, went like stink for a cheap motor, held the road well and was overall quite impressive but he's now swapped it for a mustang gt

Thanks for that. Answers my question

[extreme3d]

Nutz,

Quick question for you! If you are running the optional gear on your titan (8.73) are you running your hyper in the sweet spot of 17000rpm with a head speed of 1950 or are you running an even higher headspeed?

Thx

Paul

on the knight which is also 8.7:1 i run 2000rpm which means that when you load it up it sits back on the torque curve first rather than falling off the bottom of the torque curve.

That is exactly what I would of said, thxs Ade

[Sesame]

Ade is that 8.7:1 on the standard gearing on the K 3D?

gonna be setting up my govenor soon

[robgt]

is that 8.7:1 on the standard gearing on the K 3D

Yes

Cheers,
Rob

[Nutz]

Yes

Cheers,
Rob

I would of said that too

Hang on, the 3D is 8.7 @ 17k rpm = 1954 head speed, where as the 600n is 8.5 giving 2000 head speed, both ratios in the sweet spot but the Trex is under powered - why? I know it makes up for it in other areas
