Trex 700N, what pitch?

[chris jones2.4]

as title, with 30% fuel and also, what sort of headspeed are you running?

cheers,
chris

[rachel]

Plus and minus 13 degrees and 1850 idle up one, 1950 idle up two

[Aidi]

+/-12 @1950Rpm works well for me

[chris jones2.4]

i forgot to mention, FLYBAR

i forgot to mention, FLYBAR

What is a Flybar ?

Do determine head speed, we need to know what engine you are running to find it's power band.

Generally it's, 1850 for YS and 1950 for OS.

[Tim Procter]

Every pilot has his own sweet spot for blade pitch Chris (thought you knew that already)

I run 12 degrees each way but have tried as much as 14 degrees which was too savage for my ham fisted collective management.

Its a fact I do like it very responsive around mid stick which make more sense having more pitch but with the current crop of FBL systems you can make it more snappy via the software "IE" Paddle Simulation and Pitch Pump.

Back to the question asked I "heard" Jamie Robertson (Masters Winner) only runs 11 degrees, True or false I'm not sure.

[chris jones2.4]

i normally run about +/- 11 but i just wanted to know what people were running as an average, i got a OS91SZh and it doesnt seem the most powerful thing ever :/

[jamiem]

The old szh is not a great engine by any stretch of the imagination. I ran 13 degrees on my 700 with 690 blades and at 1950rpm on a ys91 sr. I then changed to 710's and toned the pitch down slightly

[exiged]

+/-12 here and 1900 idl2 on a YS91 but still getting a bit of bogging...

[Mr.Brown]

+/-11 over here on a ys91sr with loads of power.
