Walkera 60 Too Heavy???

[mezz303]

Hi all

I've been helping my brother to upgrade the electronics on his new Walkera 60. We have removed everything it come with and replaced it with the following:

Align 430L Brushless with 35 amp BEC
4 HiTec HS 55 servos
JR 410T Gyro
Spektrum AR7000 Receiver and Battery
FlightPower 2500Mah 3s1p Li-Po Battery

The original "flight" weight of the Walkera was around 550g - 600g.
With all the stuff we have added, we are now around 700g.

Has anyone else upgraded a walkera 60 with similar parts?
I'm wondering if we have made it too heavy to get off the ground!

Not too many people with those helis but will move to the micro section.

Hi DebianDog

Thanks. Realised I probably posted in wrong forum! :oops:

NP ;)

I have never been too much of a fan of the Walkera line but someone here should be.

No I'm not really either,
I have a T-rex 450. But my brother is married!!!
I will say this about the walkera tho, as unsophisticated as it is, I still think it looks better than mine! :?
