What did you do with your Mini Protos today?

[Chris Nifty]

The Radix are good - fit nicely and run smooth. I still balanced mine and I can get vibes less than with stockers.

I tried the Radix tails some time back but returned back to yellow Gorillas. The tail response was sort of lazy for my tastes. Edge are on their way now.

[Chris Nifty]

The Edge's are my favourite at the moment, nice and snappy - very crisp stops. Added bonus is good visibility.

Are you talking mains or tails?
I think the edge 353 + se tail is the best setup.
Only problem is I broked them...

[Chris Nifty]

I was talking bout the tails, and I can't tell the diff between the se and originals - I have both. The mains I like also - got 'em on all birds at the moment - 353's on the stretches.

I just finished a minor rebuild after I've struck my tail boom on Friday. Figured there's no point in ordering tail boom only, so I got the whole stretch kit and changed the belt too. This is how my old belt looks like after a 1000+ flights and a couple major crashes...still good as new

Spot the mini p... it's been raining for 10 days straight, and the rain finally let up but left this... I was itching to fly so just limited to prio hovering basically. Stll feels good to fly though! Electronics and parts are not comming wet just can't let this thing out of my sight!

Simply flew the hell out of it.

My P500, and Fu 50 have been getting all the attention but this weekend was a watershed weekend for me and the Mini P.

We have good weather I flew 8 packs thru the Mini P and a bunch more thru my 130x, and Fu 50.

Something finally clicked and the Mini P just felt so right totally locked in. I htink it's all the time I've put in on the 130x.

Finally, crashed the b***ch for the first time and it was the hardest crash I ever had. Basically had her doing a large loop in the air and courageously without neg pitch . It went straight down to the ground from about 50m high and was so fast that I couldnt TH.

Damaged parts: Both blades, both CF frames, bottom plastic base, one main blade grip, bent feathering and main shafts, fractured Canopy and boken cyclic servo arm.

Battery got heavily deformed at the front to a point I couldnot trust it anymore, so I tossed it in salt bucket.

Well, guess it is time for a complete overhaul...

Tried out a Curtis Youngblood blade combo

It went as expected, super stable at lie and high head speeds, but lacking some cyclic agility, tail felt good tho

I ordered my first Mini Protos kit today. Well, on the 24th, haven't been to bed yet, so it's still today for me. BTW, Merry Christmas!

I took advantage of HeliDirect Christmas sale because it was a one-stop shop, and had everything in stock that I was looking for. I grabbed the 6s motor, 15t pinion, and the stretch kit and low FBL head. They didn't have the stretch kit with blades, I assume it's related to the deal with MSH and SAB going away. That's OK though, because I have a couple extra sets of 350mm blades for my Warp. Went with DS415m servos, and Beastx with Futaba SBUS RX (my favorite FBL/RX combo!). I hope the ds415m's are as good to me as my 2 sets of 410m's have been. All I need now is a tail servo. I can't make up my mind on that.

I like the Warp so much, and I love my Protos 500, so I figured the best of both worlds would be a 6s stretch Mini.

Looks like I'll be selling my B450 FBL, since I don't really need four 450's.... I only need 3! Once I get my kit I will also have a brand new 3s motor, stock size tail boom, tail belt, and tail pushrod to sell. I'll keep the 325 blades as spares for my 450pro.

Wish me luck!

[ahunter852]

For my self Xmas present I stretched it, 6 celled it and v bared it! (Beast x before) mini p was amazing as 3s but now it's just incredible!

[baui2000]

Went the last half inch closer to the deck tonight. Nothing feels as warm and fuzzy as a good midnight blade scrape!

Installed a custom built YGE 60 with external governor support this week (which I believe is sold by MSH as well these days). Still have to fly it. With that and a Mini V-Bar btw, you can get rid of the sensor cable ground wire all together, since the RXA port on the Mini V-Bar consists of three I/O pins and you only need the top one. Also, the external gov is grounded internally in the YGE. Had all this confirmed by Heino Jung, then I removed the red and brown wire on the phase sensor cable completely, only connecting the orange wire near the label of the Mini V-Bar on RXA.

Just did six flights, YGE 60 with external governor support works like a charm, Mini V-Bar log is very clean now.
