What sort of flight times are X5 owners getting with the 4200 packs? Im currently doing basic stuff i.e. stall turns, flips, loops.. what sort of flight times could I expect? 4-5mins?

When I went out flying today for my maiden flight, I timed mine for 5 minutes. Just basic flying. When i got home, the cells are averaging 3.8v/cell.
EDIT: When I charged the battery again, it took 2342mah back in. Last edited by what-d-heli; 07-15-2010 at 01:13 PM.. Reason: more info . . . |

changed the PWM frequency to 8KHz today and yipeeeeeeeeeee. If it was a drag engine, i'd say it picked up another 500ftlbs of torque ontop of the 2000 it already had( ok i'm exaggerating ) . Keeps pulling like a train and we still have room for more tweaking and was only flight number 3 on the packs.
Happy happy happy chappy Vas

Finished the X5 and 8 flights on it now.. I wasn't planning to build it this week but work gave me a week off.. So I don't have a 6S battery yet, these flights are all very tame on a 5S.. but it does well.. I'm still a beginner in the scheme of things with Helis, but already loving the X5.. It feels like I bought a Formula 1 Racing car to drive the kids to school... Vid here. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHikpbboEc8[/ame] Last edited by Rob2160; 07-18-2011 at 10:44 PM.. |

Seems like you have her in a nice zone and flying looks very comfy and smooth. The 6S will wake it up a far bit . Just a suggestion and everyone's style is different, the stock setup with the supplied 16t is quite a hot one and very nuts might find it better with a 15t and higher throttle input. Still more than plenty power but without that i'm going to tear a hole in the sky feeling Please keep the vids and thoughts coming Enjoy Vas
