N7 main blade pitch +-

[datatools]

Hey guys, I've been flying my N7 for a few months now with 105HZ (no reg), and just installed a MultiGov. Wow, what a difference, cant believe I waited so long to figure out the nitro governor. I set my head speeds to 1800, 1950 and 2050. I'm now wondering what is the typical pitch you guys run. I'm at +-12 but thinking about moving up to 13.

The pitch values are not by themselves as definitive as one would think.

Blade length, profile, weight AND a well tuned engine are more important (IMO).

I remember a couple of years back, I let the local 3D guru have a flight with my heli. He came back after with a large smile and said I must have a lot of pitch because he felt my machine had more pop then his. When I told him my setup was +-10.5 he just could not believe it. I was running F3C/220gr 720mm blades with a well tuned engine.

You can certainly try with a higher pitch value - but I would also try to get (even temporary) access to different type of blades.

my setup is as follows....

os 105R
hatori pipe
rail 696mm blades
collective pitch 12.5+ and - (the motor will handle more, i just dont need it)
in my vbar, i set cyclic to 10 degrees, not 8......
