Squall

[mark_w]

Anybody got a Squall?

I really like the look of them!!

What parts are actually different between the standard and HP? (motor, esc +fan?)

I already have 3 cell Lipos so it makes more sence to buy the 3 cell version, but then would I wish I had bought the HP version (Could I upgrade motor,fan,esc later if I wanted?)?

Any other alternatives?

Sorry for all the questions!

I have a squall HP with vectored thrust unit - its great. Very quick. The difference is the hp is for 4 cell lipos and the normal is for 3 cells and they have fans and escs that match that.

Just to add to this, my fatherinlaw has the 3 cell and its just as much fun and is still really quick.

You could also look at the phase 3 phantom...

Thanks for the reply.

What sort of flight times do you get for both the 3 cell and HP?

5 minutes each and the batteries come back hot, but not too hot, those edfs pull some amps!

If you go with the 3s version you will not beable to go unlimited vertical. The 4s version is happy prop hanging (is that what it is on a pusher?) I have seen the 4s just hang on a jet of air.

The Phantom is good but limited, its not as fast and doenst have the same grin factor.

Just a thought, if you want something to fly round the sky then the 3s would be great fun, if you want to push it with high alpha flight then the 3s will do it to a point, if you want to go vertical from a hand launch then 4s it would have to be.

Just my thoughts

I have the 4S Squall and its nuts, I'm still in the learning stage as its like flying a missile, we use 20C Triplemax 3000mah and we radar gunned one climbing at 69mph and the batts never come off toasted, if you cut two Gill like inlets just under the canopy the EDF sucks air thru at quite a rate this helps keep everything cool and with the above batt you've got a solid 10 minutes plus of flight time going mental.

Do have the rates down low, as only very slight movement is needed on the sticks, pretty much like flying a heli, plus they come into land quite fast so bleeding off airspeed is a must.

The fastest we've had one is 130mph and for around £200 to complete one thats fantastic value for money, plus they do spares for the frame and wings, but there tough as boots, just don't underestimate how fast this toy like delta can go, it's defo not a park flyer, and you'll also need a full range RX, plus never use the rudder much as it sends them ape, lol.

i have one and it was a pain to begin with as the edf fan unit was mis-aligned and the rotors kept breaking.

its worth running in the fan unit for a few packs at half throttle just to make sure that it does not catch break the impellar.
