Maxpoly 5s1p 4000 on 500

[raptorheli2]

just to follow up on something barney commented on. we were flying at my club on sunday and using exact same setup. i put a pack on each of my cellpro 4's chargers and barney put a 5s "brick" on his pro peak and we both charged at 1c. my packs were done way before his and infact, i put ANOTHER pair of packs on and these finished about 5 minutes after barneys first set did on the pro peak. the proper charging equipment goes a long way.

chris, glad your liking the setup, please keep us posted of cycle life.

cheers

Thanks for all the input guys..

Jason,i would love you to fly the pack,i am off the rest of the week so maybe we could tie up at DMHC one day

Anyway,,had 3 flights with it today,i am only charging it at 1800mah at the moment as per recommendations supplied with it.I have a bit of video that will be posted later,nothing special just something to look at.
The videoed flight was about 3.5 mins and it took 1600mah to recharge the pack,the first flight was 2.5 mins of hovering and some circuits and it took 1100mah,the video was flight 2,i have not recharged from flight 3 yet but that was a bit harder and was 4 mins,as stated,15t pinion was used.

Overall i found the model very nice in the air,power was more constant than using 2 3s 2100 packs,it suited myself and the model nicely.But as i said before i am positive all other branded packs of similar spec would be very similar.

The pack was coming off the model barely warm,i will carry a temp gun in future and will be flying it more during the week.I would love Jason to datalog it for us all to see to complement Ash`s probable data to follow..

On a separate note,the whole heli is flying really nicely now,i am no longer using a DCUP and flying solely on the BEC set at 6v,the spartan gyro is brilliant and complements the overall good feel of the model..

All in all,i think the 500 is a very attractive model from an owners point of view,not only does it look good but it has very good characteristics in flight and uses much cheaper packs.It really is a 600 in a smaller form and i totally love it

Cool Chris hopefully I'm gona be down there Thursday AM Weather permittng so hope you can make it and were get a log done on it, and uploaded later that day in the mean time try to get 10 cycles on it, so its broken in nicely.

Cool video Chris.

Sweet flying

[ChrisB]

Thanks gents,its good you didnt see my Raptor 50 flight afterwards,was very erratic and untidy,i am so wanting to keep things nice and smooth

I am noticing that when i fly a R50 or 600N i get untidy but when i fly the 500 or 600E i seem to be smoother on the sticks,certainly in a way that i feel more at home with

Just got of the phone from Andrew at Maxpoly, I'm going to test the same 5S 4000 as shown in the video above. If it arrives soon I'll have it run in while we still have the good weather.
