x50, end of season one.

[rcflier1]

i started this heli in the spring and added the tt fbl head during the build. it has the tt tail and a beast x. started life with a ys56 that gave me fits and led to a 3 days stay in the woods/weeds. other than engine issues[it now has a os55] this bird has become my favorite and has had 0 parts failures.thank you thunder tiger for a great summer!

Mine has an OS55 with a Micro Beast and I have at least 4 gallons so far thru this bird, and I love it.
I have a velocity 50 and a Trex 600 and this is my favorite heli at the field.
I have been working on my inverted backwards flight and it scared me at first because this heli is a rocket in flight. I lowered the head speed in IU1 to 1800 and love it. Still powerful but not so fast that it's scary to try new things with.

620 and 625's seemed to big and slow to me for 3D. 600mm to 615mm max for me. the compass 615's were the best blades i had at the lager size. now im flying edge 603 and love them. fast on the cyclic!!

I've been thinking about going back to the standard 600 blade. Or at least the Edge or Compass with the narrow chord. Wide chord blades don't suit my style well.

did you notice a big difference between tt53 to the os55?

I went back to 600. The hyper 50 wouldn't swing the 620's very well.

Yea, you need a 55 to swing the 620's
