Glad to see you picked a L700 over your other choice! On 12s and 713s I love mine! But from what I'm hearing 730s might just be the ticket! Build is nice and easy with no real gotchas IMO. Just ask anything as you build it!

Picked it up here on HF in the classifieds yesterday. Comes as the combo from RH w/ bls255'shv and bls256hv on the tail. Plan on installing a Gryphon 75V 20A Hyper HV BEC and scorpion back up guard and fly it the way it is.

make sure your swash cant do this:
https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=482990 and if your auto rotation hub does not fit in the main gear, dont force it grind a bit of the edge so it does. (this can cause the main gear to distort and rub on the tail gears. https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?p=4509753 Thats all I can think of.... oh and keep away from bushes.. https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?p=4596798 (cost me $1000 dollars to repair ) All fixed, and flies so nice!!! |

Just a heads up, the 730's will not be great for agressive flying on 12s.
Not enough power...or more specifically, very high amp draw. I'm seeing 260 amp peaks on 740mm blades with 14s... |

Curious, what head speed were you running?

Nathan,
You have to remember that the amp spikes are WAY HIGHER on a Kosmic due to the governor being a reactive governor verses the V-Bar Governor being a proactive governor. That is why you are seeing the HUGE amp spikes. I ran a jlog2 for a LONG time on my TDR with Xera 4530LE and I got spikes of 180-190A ALL the time. A hard tic tock could produce that and that heli made NO where the power the 4525 Scorpion I have is making as I ran the head speed lower too on TDR. Jive/Kosmic's and big amp spikes go hand in hand. Doesn't necessarily mean the power is that larger verses a system that is proactive. I am just saying that amp draw is not near as bad on someone running vbar governor. I believe Fredrik and some others have done logging on a vbar governor model and it showed the big amps spikes are almost gone. They went WAY down and no one can say vbar governor doesn't give the feeling of power. It is hands down my preferred governor. Norman Ross Jr.

True, I'm hassling kontronik to make the kosmik compatible with the v-gov. They're stubborn as hell, and overconfident in their superior engineering, as usual.
The amp spikes aren't really what I was getting at anyways Norman, the fact is that the 700 is a big, heavy 700, going to 730mm will help the disk loading, but adds even more load to the already big, heavy setup. And the stock 12s setup is far from ballistic even on 713mm blades... |

Yes it is a big bird and 733 will make he disc loading as light as anything out there IMO.
KEEP POKING Kontronik. That is the only reason I won't buy a Kosmic. Once they add vgov I'm all in.

Checked RH no 733's, where can I find a set of blades. Going to order some. The stock setup should be fine swinging 733's.
