Swift lover

[zozie]

Hi guys;

Just thought I'd drop a line as I'm new to this forum :glasses2: .
Any other swift fans around? I just recently got tired of glow engines and fuel and so on so I sold my 50 and got a swift. So far I love it.
I wanted to get this cause I have a feeling there will be about 20000000 t-rex 600s at my field in a few months.
Anyone know homw many cells I can put on the Century 600 outrunner?
I have the hacker for now, It's good but I need a bit more punch.

Where do you by your emoli cells? Also, can I use a lipo charger with them? :dontknow

Then i make them up with Balance taps for my TP balancer.

It works great.

I am pretty sure some of the top Swift fliers in the world hang out here. ;)

Count me in on the “I love my Swift” and I also agree with the emoli’s. They make a perfect budget Swift pack.

I like my swift too.
It's nice that century is taking a leaf from align's book and constantly improving the product :D
The emolis are nice for learning, I'm having a tough time getting much performance out of them with my neu 1910 1.5y motor though.
I'd sell my soul for a 1910 1y right now, seems to be sold out everywhere.

COunt me in to, I love flying my Swift and it gives me confidence to try new things to which is a good thing. Except when it goes wrong :arggg:

As to cell count on the Century 600 Our Runner, use 6s and hang on as it gives great power with this kind of voltage.

I love my swift too...It's the emolis that really made the swift a good option for me. I built 8s emoli packs with the TP taps. I love them...built 3 packs. Get about 7 minutes flight with a minute reserve. I just upgraded my servos to hitec digitals (5475). Also replaced my rear servo are as the one I had didn't have the ball placed the right distance from the center. It was a little closer than it should have been. I noticed it when I puched the collective that I'd get a bit of rear input.

My setup:
- 1910 1.5Y Neu motor
- CC Phoenix 45 HV
- Gy401 w/9254
- HS 5475 dig servo
- 8s emoli packs x 3
- ubec

I'm going to chime in here.............I love my Swift too!!! It is a very smooth flyer.

My hubby mechanic has made up some 6 cell emoli's for my Swift 16 - they work great! We get about 8 minutes of fly time.........which is about the time I need to take a break anyway.

The Swift is a lot of fun, and then some.
