  • Me And My Opti-Powered 550

    A quick video shot by Dave Rand last weekend for me. I was fighting a wierd tail drift all flight, which went away once I rebooted it on the next flight, very odd. Anyway, not my best flight as a result, but thought I'd post it here anyway

        Nice one jamie.
        The reason the tail drifted was i expect you accidently knocked it during boot up, i have done it before

          Nope, checked that. I re-booted it when back at the pits and the tail slider was drifting still, however, when flown it went away and corrected itself. Bizarre. Need to have a look at the event log and see if anything shows up.

                    6s 4300, hence the slightly shorter than usual flight Pack is going really well, all recorded data is showing zero loss of performance so far, and since the IR's settled in after about 10 cycles, they've yet to shift aswell (despite some rather hefty over-discharges on a couple of cycles too). I'll be ordering a load more shortly

                        Well the safe limit should be around 3440ma discharged, I've taken 3800 on 3 or 4 occasions, again with no noticable power drop (although I am running governed!), and in total I've got just over 30 cycless far.

                          88% ooops lol it could be worse. Still newish then, i wonder how the IR will be after 60-70 cycles. My Turnigy packs are on i think without checking around 50 & 70 cycles & 1 cell on both says around 10 & the rest are equal at around 2 but this isn't noticable yet in performance (to me)
