I do have an Eagle Tree I'll do a test run and see if the data would be relevant... I do keep very accurate records of flight time mAH and temps...

I guess alot of people do. I just charge and fly...check motor/ESC/batt. temps with my finger...when the batt gets weak I replace it....that's about it.

Hey I have been through $3500.00worth of batteries, since I started this deal, that is a fair chunk of change! And I know what works and what does not now because of keeping track of them

Now I have just under $600.00 worth of batteries that I can fly all day with and never fire up a nitro, if I want!

Don't get me wrong....I envy people that have that much time for attention to detail. I have a big box of batts and only about $300 worth (+or-) and "never" have to wait for mine to charge to be able to fly none stop (all 4 helis)....but I charge 4 at a time and could do 5....but, haven't had to.

Peace-out!

Don't apologize to SNJ !!! No one likes him and his breath smells like catfood !!!

snjbird · 02-12-2010, 05:43 AM

Well in truth it is Dog food...

But if I run out on occasion I do eat some cat food.... I like fancy feast best! but meow mix is OK too!

Helidirect emailed me that the Stealth CF 325mm's are in stock! Wish I had $$$ to buy a few or 3 sets to try out!

The Capi needs to realise that SNJ's time, money, and research is going to help alot of people save money in the future. If he tells us what works, and what doesnt work, ill listen. Thanks SNJ for donating POSITIVE feedback to the helifreak family.

ChrisH · 02-20-2010, 10:25 PM

It was a joke CD. If you knew capi you would know he is serious only 3% of the time

DominicD · 02-20-2010, 10:32 PM

Is that meteric or imperial 3% ?

Neither, it's 3% metric.

Slyster · 02-20-2010, 11:17 PM

LOL...

Hey.. I should add that I am flying the white HD "3D Pros" on my 500ESP and Outrage 550.. both flybarless.. and I have to say am very surprised how nice they are flying!

I thought they would fly like crap with FBL...... NOT.

I can compare too.. since I put on a set of Radix on my 500 today... they DID fly quieter and seemed more precise...

But NOT that much! (Only basic sport flying)

ChrisH · 02-20-2010, 11:25 PM

Pete those blades are about 100mm too long for this forum

Slyster · 02-20-2010, 11:28 PM

True. But I use them on my 450 Pro too. And I like them just as much there too!

snjbird · 02-28-2010, 05:08 AM

I just got a set of the Edge Blades to try out, Data to follow shortly!

Caleb White · 03-17-2010, 09:28 PM

Thanks sjn and everyone for the good info, nice thread!
My experience so far on my Pro with Scorpion -8, 30 & 40C bats, and smack down hard 3D:

Stock Align - Really great all around blades, especially for my style. They look good too... I like blades with white. They aren't the most stable in FFF, but that's what you get with light, quick blades... and loads of pitch... and KBDD paddles! They also auto mediocre.

Radix Cosflaw - I did not like for my style. Maybe I got a heavier pair (don't have the weight). I've run them off and on. Seem to have slower headspeed and response than Aligns, but I've found they track very well and run efficient, using less mAh on average. I will probably sell them.

Sonix - First impression was they are very nice, very fast and poppy. I don't like all black CF, so I added flash strips on bottom and long tribal holo stickers on the top. I found they are a bit harder on my system than Aligns, using a bit more mAh and my LiPos were a bit warmer. These are great bashers for the money.

Edge FB: probably trying out this weekend.
Mavrik G5: coming with my Edge. I probably would not have ordered if I read this thread first. I probably won't like them, but got a good price.

wc_wickedclown · 03-18-2010, 02:20 AM

has anyome tried the 335mm blades ? ill be installing them on my bird soon , just waiting o my new skids.

elkmaster01 · 03-18-2010, 10:26 AM

You forgot the video of your battery!

Matt Nasca · 03-19-2010, 02:36 PM

Just tried the Thunder Power 325 CF blades yesterday (because of this thread). Wow what a difference! This 450 Pro seemed to hang ever so slightly longer and was still as quick as the stock Align blades. Just wanted to drop a quick comment.
