    Not weighed mine but it certainly feels a reasonable amount heavier than my ENV

      My Avro weighs right about the same as that with 1 inch of fuel in the tank, so technically it could be ready to fly but fully fuelled up it will be another couple hundred grams.

      My Robbe Futura SE weighs 5.1 kg with a little fuel in the tank, so a bit lighter than the Avro.

      The Century Predator gasser is 6kg!

      I don't have a .90 size electric to compare with as yet :-)

        [QUOTE=GravityKills;810445]yea it is a tank, but a very nimble one ...
        I'm running lower HS for now, probably a bit under 1700 (didn't measure).

        If you don't use the mixes in the DX7, try some aileron-/elevator-/rudder-to-throttle mixing. It makes a huge difference in full rolls, for example, allows lower overall headspeed => more flight time.[/QUOTE]

        Yeh, i run a Beast X V3 on the X7 at the moment i've just turned up the trv fom 100% aile, ele, rudd and pitch to 110%-110%-115%-110% (rate), hav tweaked the pramiters menu too, scary quick megga! i am still unsure wether to run a buffer pack with the powerjive 120+? at the moment i am keeping the bec at the lower voltage, the spektrum 6040 cyclic and Savox tail servos seem happy enough at this setting for me. power to weight on the X7 is definatly not an issue imho. like the PiL track i could be right, i could be wrong, but i think not.


        cheers

          You guys need a reality check - all those weights are tiny compared with my Raptor 90SE-elec conversion! This ol' girl weighs in at about 6.5Kg ready to fly! Now I have kept the alloy frame stiffeners on because they look nice and have a hefty carbon base plate for the 12s 5000mah 40c Turnigys. The rx pack is 2s 4400 plus an align reg. She's carrying a Total G that is currently unused as she wil be going FBL shortly as well as a full alloy flybar head. Teh motor is a Scorpion 5020-450 and the ESC is a Scorpion 130A HV unit. So basically, my setup weighs a ton more than your average lecky-90 which will probably explain the blade fart at the bottom of every loop, but she will hopefully lose a few ounces over the next few months!
