Looking at the md6

[pugdavey]

Is there any were in Europe that sells the MD line. I have an agile 5.5 on 12s which is nice but quite heavy @ 3.8kg

There are 2 places...

www.helidestock.fr and www.steveshobby-shop.com

Thanks for the sites. There doesn't seem to be a lot of spares available ?

And rc-batteri.no but I dont have all the spares listed on the site yet.

What motor, battery size, and ESC would make for a good 6s MD6 setup? Would a HobbyWing 100A V3 handle it?

[rfauske]

HOBBY-WING 100a v3 and a xnova 4025 1150kv should fit great in the MD6

I personally have a cc edge 120hv with a Kde 1100kv using the optional 12t pinion and my md6 on 6s is awesome!!!

Are you using a RX battery pack or a BEC? The HobbyWing 100A V3 has a pretty good BEC. I have one that I had intended for a 500/550 .

[rfauske]

I would use the built in and might a buffer pack if you have hungry servos

I'm using a BEC with the Xpert HV Servos.

cheers guys. Just seeing if i can get parts to the uk without to many problems.
What is the rtf weight of the md 5 or 6 ?
Might go md 5?
I have a cc80hv
sk3 4956-550kv
6s 2700mah lipos

[rfauske]

Then you want to run 12s. Regarding the norwegian price that includes OmG servos, blades and 25% vat that will be detucted. It is easy to stretch. Just change boom, supports and pinion.

My MD6 (6s 5000mah), RTF weight is at 7lb 6oz

The MD5 would use appx 4000mah 6s and the MD6 would be 4000mah 6s or 3300mah (appx)

if you have that 550kv motor and the 2700mah batteries, I would suggest md6 on 12s

[pugdavey]

What's it like on 6s ? I only have 2 sets of flight packs and the convenience of 6s with a hw100 v3 would be nice.

I use 7S and 900kv motor and that is great. But I mostly fly big air and not the most complicated movements.

No issues on 6s, just don't use blades larger then the Rail 606's.

[pugdavey]

Sorry guys just trying to make the best choice as I have a little boy and don't get much flying time now. What sort of flight times are you getting on 6s ? I'm no smack pilot and don't use high head speeds 2200 & 2350 on 550 blade and zeal 570
Dose anyone how the md5 compares to the gaui x5 ?

4-5 minutes or more dependent on motor efficiency, flying style and ESC. Flite time is much the same no matter what heli you use as long as the size and electronics are the same.

I get around that on my md6.

[mdhelicopters]

Rasmus is correct, most helis will vet around the same flight times, given gear ratio and electronics are within the safe efficiency.

My MD6 on 6s will get around 4 min depending on how I'm flying.

[pugdavey]

Ok so a md5
with the xnova 4025 -1100
HW 100v3
520 blades
Lipo size ?
Stretch it to 6 later and run my 570 ?
