Playing with the Protos

[robgt]

I'm running 6S 2600mAh packs on this one - there is a Thunder Power and an Outrage pack of the same specification.

Both are performing well at the moment too, considering how freezing cold it is, and that they are only charged to 90% (because of the cold).

Cheers,

I would change the cyclic servos. I haven't tried those specific ones, but this had some slightly worn Hitec HS82s in it at first and they just wouldn't centre properly at all, which made the heli comical to fly (as it would!). The HS65MG is a cracking servo, but it seems the larger ones have issues centering when they wear in a bit.

This Protos now has Align DS510 servos on cyclics and they are performing very well. Changed before these videos were shot. Good servos and very well priced.

Also, the Align 600 gyro has been discontinued and replaced with the GP750, which you might want to consider instead - possibly with the Align DS520 servo as a combo?

I'm loving the 430mm Torsion blades - superb performance...

Using Align DS520 servo on mine, holding up well in flight, abit quick though!! Kinda wish I went for the DS510s.

Sounds good - Thanks Rob

Will the torsion tails fit the grips?

[robgt]

The tail grips have a 4mm root, so theres not many blades that will fit, but Paul posted a link earlier to some on Fast Lads website that fit.

Cool, will order them now.

Thanks again

K, ordered the tail blades and the 520 - they dont have 510's right now so ill look around..

Rob, nice flying buddy.... I need to get out more.
You still using 3500g on the tail? I had a full size servo on mine but I blew it up and need a replacement, If the 3500 works it will be a cheaper option for me.

Hi Mike, thanks matey

Yes, it's got a LogicTec 2100 gyro driving a 3500g tail servo.

Cheers Rob, I was getting 3500 for my 250 anyways, so I guess In will go with that.
