eb 26pro,810 I'm not having a proplem with head speed,i'm lifting 5lb to6lb cam gear.chopper flys great, steady pulls like hell even with the weight i carry.I like the higher head speeds it's just more stable.but whats to high.

I would suggest no higher than 1650-1700, simply because of the engine RPM's.
If you're running V-Blades, this should not be a problem, NHP's I'm not sure about, will have to research a little more on that one....
Hope I'm not stealing this thread :oops: but Chris, what is the highest recomended headspeed for the 720 mm blades?

thanks cris i had some one check with a tach,he might of not used the meter right,becuase he said i was at 1920,last time i checked i was 1650 I WILL recheck today, and if I'm to high will try to get back down to at least 1700. it feels like maybe 1620 i hope he got the 6 and 9 mixed up.very busy doing cam work,so steady with work we don't dare advertise or give out phone numbers .never thought Iwould ever get sick of flying all day,but now after about six hours of cam work per day I need to go home and have a beer to give my brain a rest.Iwould like to thank bergen agian for making me have to fly so much,and to by gas by the five gal at a time.we don't even get the chance to shut down and fuel,got to fuel hot to keep going.

You could feasibly run it up to 2000, but I would not recommend it!! :D
1800 should be high enough for anything you would want to do with it.

Kelly,
What jobs are you doing that you don't even have time to shut down and fuel? Godd luck to you in your work.
Safe flying, Peter
