  • Flight times?

    How long a flight do you get from your 600 nitro? I use 30% Coolpower, 2200rpm and it has had a gallon through it. I think I should get more than 4-5 minutes?

    Sounds like your running a little Rich. Also if I'm not mistaken the headspeed on a Trex 600 nitro should be more like 2100

      There are two 600Ns at our club and they both have short flight times compared to other 50s. I think it's just a bit of a small tank.

        I only get about 6-7 mins max running 30% magnum at 95% idle up throttle at peak.

          I get 10 mins but then again I am running 20% Magnum on a Hyper 50 with MP5. I am running mostly at 1800rpm. I am still learning, so no big 3D

            I'll lean it out a bit tomorrow and turn the headspeed down to 2100-2150rpm, see how it works.

                  Hi

                  Mine both go 7 and a half to 8 mins full to dry.
                  This is with Hypers on 30% and either the Align pipe or Hatori 522 at 2100 on the head.
                  I am sure the tank on the 600 is actually bigger than the Rappy tank it's just every one runs them faster so uses fuel quicker.

                  Cheers

                    Just compared tanks with a rappy 30/50.
                    The 600n is at least 20% bigger.
                    It looks about the same size as the rappy 60 tank I squeezed into my raptor50, and that goes for 10 minutes at 2050 rpm.
                    First flight with the 600n tomorrow I think.

                        Duration on my 600n seems similar to my rappy, didn't time it though.
                        2000 headspeed approx, and rich as Branson 'cos its running in.
