  • 600 efl running 1800rpm

    Only had ten flights with the 600 but i'm loving this machine. I can't fly 3d and wanted something bigger than my Align 500 and hoped for long flight times running 12s with the batteries I had.

    My setup is standard except;
    105 tails
    taller rear skid
    magnetic canopy catches (brilliant)
    Li-Fe rx battery
    Turnigy 3000, 20c batteries

    Running the Castle governor I tried 1800, 2000 and 2100rpm, I know this is not what it was designed to run at but it has proved plenty for my current flying style.

    Ran 5 packs at 1800 HS today and managed to stretch the time out to 7 minutes coming down with 27% of the pack left.

    I also conducted my first ever travelling flips and inverted hovering (at height) which I just didn't even try with the 500.

    The 3gx (v1.2) is pitching up in forward flight and generally rearing backwards which I beleive is not uncommon. It's settings are untouched from the factory.

    Very happy with this setup and looks like the 500 is looking for a new home soon.
