Beam AvantGarde 600

[trillian]

I have an E4 and it is remarkably stable for a 450 and flies very straight, everything fits with no slop
in the linkage and it has a super precise feel to it. If they can do the same for a bigger heli it should
be awesome.

Thank you for your positive input )))))

Andy Hornyak has just done a write up for the FLP team website. I think he likes the machine! I wonder if it will bring him out of his 'flying retirement'! You never know!

Hi Fabien

The new Beam looks awesome! I'm excited by it!

What set up are you running?

Cheers

It's a real shame that EvoRC have been screwed over, but it's come to be expected from FL

Ha.. Lemon'd?!

People can slate the DX8, Align, Turngiy, MCPX e.t.c...

....but when it comes to FastLad?!

Hi Pete,

here is the complete setup:

- 3 x Nexus 616MG Hv ( @6.8V) on swash ( 15kg / 0.07). I could not bog them in flight so far and i just like them. BUt Andy could tell better how they feel becaus i'm a crap 3D flier, i fly more scale / F3C style ( a elegant way to say i fly like pu..y in 3D)
- 1 x BLS 251 with a stepdown cause i did not have a BLS 256 HV lol
- Gryphon Quasar HV Bec with output set at 6.8V
- CC Ice 2 HV 120 A, set RPM, 1800 and 2200 RPM's
- Outrage 4125-560 kV motor with 13T gear ( because of CC lot of speed lost for using Set RPM, with a Kontronik or YGE you can go with 12T for same headspeed..). Very pleased with the motor performances in fact, even impressed in some ways . 6 mm shaft
- Radix 600's Sb's but will upgrade to 620's FBL's, i prefer the 600's for my flight style but Andy prefers the FBL stronger blades, guess why..
- Tail blades Align 95 mm

+12/-12 ° on head, 14° +/- on autorotation.

Beast X FBL module with Cyclic acceleration and pitch boost enabled

For the video we used my batteries ( Gens Ace 2600's 6S x 2) but it is very light and you feel it much more " present "with 3000 mah's 12S

I just recharged the 2600's and after the 3.30 mn flight of the video i filled them up only 1600 mAh That's not so bad ))

Best regards,

Fabien

Why in particular that set up?

[Fabien]

Hi Ben,

this setup because i received the kit with the 3 NExus servos from Hatz for making tests and wanted to give them a try after teh bench tests.
For everything else, it's what i had available at home: my protos 500 lipos ( 2600's), logo 600 blades ( Radix 600's SB) , tail servo of my logo 600 (BLS 251) and a pre production motor from Outrage that was given to me and that i wanted to try after successfull and decent results on the bench. Oh and i pulled out the Beast X and the CC Esc from my Shape 9.0.. And the quasar, because i work for Gryphon, simply
All i can sya is that i was happy with the setup so far )

BEst regards,
Fabien
