Swift with 5s 10,000 pack picture

[Greybird]

Here is the balance point and what 10,000 mah 5S pack looks like on a Swift. It should fly for 20-25 minutes. We'll see.

[broke-again]

What motor are you running and where did you get the battery?

Just curious.

[zenndium]

Greybird, do you run the Futaba s3151 servos?

[Greybird]

Yes. Why do you ask?

[zenndium]

Because i could see the last number on your servo.
And because i would like to hear what you think about the servo, and does it center correct? I have heard that i sucks on centering, thats why i orderet some Hitec 6975's instead.

Hi,

I have been using the 3151 in my swift too. So far been great. If they center badly, I have not been able to tell.

Okay, but im glad for my 6975 :D

[Greybird]

I would hope the 6975's are better. They cost 3x as much. If I was buying for a second Swift, I would get the 9252's. 3 for 185 at DeeTee.

[zenndium]

THAT IS CHEAP !
Here in Denmark 3 9252's cost about 325 $ and i can get those Hitec 6975's from Germany: 3 for 230 $ include shipping.
Yep, servo's is expensive here in Denmark.

[Greybird]

You know, I always try to buy from my LHS. I get tired of paying shipping. If they don't have it, they will get it. I guess i am lucky in that respect.

Greybird, We have to play nice now... Broke-again asked what motor.. I'm curious myself. I guess the lipos are Maxamps.com? I'm still waiting on a 4S 4000, from them, that is a quality check before I drop $ for a 5S 10,000 for the camera ship angle. Nice ship. Have you timed it's flights yet?

[Greybird]

I have no intention of offending anyone. Sorry if it sounds that way. I am waiting for a pinion for the 5S 10000 pack. I parallel 2 of the Maxamp 4S packs, for 15 minute flights. The motor is a Z30 1100, I think it is the same as the 600 plus.

[aramsdell]

Greybird no one offended ! I was just kidding and I just wanted to know the motor also. How's the flight times? You said you are running 2 in Parallel? Is that the 4000 or the 10000?

[Greybird]

2 4S 4000 maxamps in parallel. (8000mah total) 11 tooth pinion 1650 head speed a lift-off. Very fun, and agile with such a heavy pack. It flys for 15 minutes. It will go longer. I have only flown 5 packs. Last re-charge was less than 5000 mah. FF use less power than hovering around and trimming. I am still getting used to flying a heli this big.

[aramsdell]

Greybird, Roger that on the large bird thing. These are quite impressive at a distance, When your coming nose in, and close, to land it can get down-right intimidating

[Greybird]

No way can I land nose-in. I can fly at myself, but need to turn it around to land. I do like the sound of these big blades.
