  • Ash enjoyed following this thread/trextuning etc

    Question on the packs you used though..did you really squeeze in a 6S4200 pack into the 500? How heavy is the 4200 and did it suffer from the weight penalty?

    "6S 4200mah pack instead of the usual 6S 2200 ….Video with 6S 4200"

    Do you think the 2x2100's are the optimium Performance vs Flight time wise or should we be looking for something a little bigger.

    thanks brian

    • we are just playing with pack sizes, seeing what's possible.

      6S 4200 certainly works very well, with little penalty on power. The motor got a little warmer but still well within spec. Most will run the 6S 2200 as that's what it's designed for.

        • Thanks for posting Ash I'm getting used to it now that the cyclics are dialed in sweet .

          For those that are interested, to get the 720 to work well on the 500 I had to change the settings:

          140 of acceleration gain
          45 headlock gain
          5500 decelleration
          5000 accelleration

                          • 2100s will be done shortly, I kinda stuffed mine getting a bit over ambitious in a motor test, they still go ok but have lost a bit of their punch. 48A continuous from a 2100 18C is pushing it a touch (oops). New packs arriving tomorrow.
