500 MAh Battery on stock v2?

So i was wondering if using a 500MAh 3.7v 1s 35c batteries i have sitting around for my MCPX would be any harm to the heli? It seems to fly fine with the extra weight (not for hard 3d, Just orientation practice for longer flight times) I have 3 of them, Was thinking they would prob give me 8-10mins of flight each....Just dont want to burn...

Auto Rotation - What? When? How?

Firstly I want to thank everyone that have responded to my threads. I've been asking quite a few questions and you've been a real help. I'm hopefully going to be getting my 450 off the freaking ground this weekend. Finally, finally, finally! Fingers crossed. And in covering all bases. I have to ask about Auto Rotation. I know my 450's goy...

Motor questions (power vs. flight time)

So.. I have the Quantum 4135-530 and I get 7 mins of flying. Smooth 3D and sport. (I really like it but have an opportunity for a killer deal on a larger motor) If I upgraded to the Quantum 4530-500 (and flew just the same) and didn't use that extra power, would I get the same flight times?...

Short flight times?

Finally got a chance to open up my NX4 at the field today, and am very, very happy with it! One thing I did noticed was that the flight times were a bit shorter than I expected them to be. I am running a little rich, but not too much so according to the nitro experts at the field. I'm flying just the main tank, not dipping into the header...

Trex 500 DFC Max Flight Times

I'm ready to make my first larger helicopter purchase. I'm debating on the Trex 500 DFC and a 600 Nitro. However, I'm really trying to get an accurate estimate on the flight times I can get with mild settings. I'm aware pinions, head speed, etc.. can all effect this but for someone still learning inverted flying, loops, flips what size li...

Wet dog shudder

I fly my Nano in circuits around the house from room to room and up and down the hall. We have a pretty open layout. So every once in a while, maybe once each flight, maybe not, the Nano will just shake like a wet dog for about one or two seconds and then recover and go on its way as if nothing happened; rock solid, smooth as glass. It us...

Why does everyone suggest long flat goes towards B gear?

Reason I ask is that I was having a hard problem getting enough of the short flat through the tail box to push securely through the C gear. This is with the tail boom fully seated and the tail box also seated (except for a tiny 'smidge out to ensure no pressure on the bearing). Last aggressive flight, the C gear popped off in flight and I...

Flight Optimizer Vs Different Headspeeds.

Hi, I have a question regarding the flight optimizer. I have 3 flight modes on my Logo 600. 1400rpm, 2000rpm, & 2200rpm. If I do the flight optimizer at 1400rpm do I now have to do an optimizer flight for 2000 and 2200rpm? At different headspeed you would think the stop gains when rolling, flipping and piro would differ. Can anyone answer...

How do I set flying styles to flight mode switch? (DX7)

I have a DX7 (not DX7s) and I was wondering if it is possible to assign the 3 flying style setups (banks) to flight modes? Why? Because I want a stable mode in Norm for take-off & landing, 3D in IU-1 for buzzing about and SL in IU2 because this switch is the easiest to access at short notice (second to TH which is the last resort). Is thi...

1st flight @ large clear field, Wow!

after 2 yrs of flying at my 11 acre tree-filled homesite, 1 yr at a local 1/3 acre reservoir, finally found a 3 acre sports field. This morning for the 1st time I enjoyed a wide-open space, WOW.. Did not realize flying my signature 600 class would be so much more fun this way. Enjoyed more speed, larger figure eights, and most of all less...

Weight and Flight time on 550sx?

Hi all, just wondering if someone can give me a flying weight (minus battery) of the 550sx please? Also would like to know the flight time on 6s 5000mah and around 2300-2400HS? I know both the questions are subjective and lots of variables but a reasonably close figure would be nice. The reason I ask is that I have a E5 on 6s 5000mah pack...

Uh oh. Did I break it?

I picked up a Nano CP X today and had some problems. I used Blade's recommended settings for the DX6i but it kept changing parameters and I had to re bind it a few times. Once things got sorted it flew pretty well but I did crash it a couple of times in the yard. Now it's picked up a nasty shudder when I raise the collective. All the movi...

Bad tail blowout with new 130x

Got my brand new 130x this past weekend! But the fun went to s*** on the maiden flight. From some reason the tail keep blowing out in flight. We're not talking about under hard collective inputs, it would just happen flying around in FFF! Long story short it made me crash so now I'm waiting on a new landing gear and tail pitch slider. Que...

Recent Multiple BSOD's. CI.DLL, Memory Corruption, NTKRNLMP.EXE

A few times recently, I'll leave it at the desktop overnight and come back the next day to find a BSOD. At some points it takes me 5-7 times of powering on and off to...

Vstabi software and firmware questions

I bought a Gaui NX4 combo with the Gaui Mini Vbar back in January. I upgraded the firmware to the latest pro version available at the time. I've only flown the heli a few times but I was noticing that although the heli held a steady hover at the beginning of the flight that it would develop a significant drift at the end of the flight. I...

The proof is in the pudding ( pay off !!! )

XP-&a with BLHeli beeping constantly.

Spin 8000 Flight Times

So I just installed my Spin 8000 and completed several flights. I started out running 80% throttle curve and then backed it down to 70%. Awesome power and a ton of fun!

4400 12s or 5000 12s?

I will be ordering my 700DFC in the coming weeks :bacon so it's time to look for batteries what is everyone using my thought is the 4400 will be lighter which make the heli more zippy but short flight times and the 5000 will give longer flight times but make the heli abit heavier and slower? what do you guys reckon? I'm looking at Revolec...
