How much does yours weigh?

[bigdumbdane]

I finally got my honeybee cp2 stable in a hover - I think my boom strike was the best thing to happen to it, b/c it forced me to take it all apart and balance everything.

My only concern is the way the engine heats up - I lubricated everything, and I dont think my gear mesh is too tight - I havent run it for a whole pack yet, b/c the engine gets too hot to touch.

I wonder if this is due to the weight - its currently at 385 grams with the CNC head, cooling fins and superskids added (with battery).

Is this about normal weight? I still have the original head and skids, I just never used them since it came with the CNC one..

depends on your motor. park 370 is for up to 400g. after that get a park 400.

im just above 350g

hmm - I guess the stock motor is a 370?

my cpp weighs in at 330.4g.

i'm running:
arc 20-34-100 bl main, phoenix 10 esc, ar6100 rec., stock head/skids, dd tail, ics50j esc.

but also being on the heavy side isnt that bad. it calms the heli down alittle and allows it to handle the wind just tad bit better. i used to run a 1500 3s pack. just a hair smaller then a 21003s pack for a trex. that put me up there at just under 400g

My Freestyle Belt Honeybee Cp2 weighs in at 365g. I gained weight becaue I upgraded to a Phoenix 25 esc. That's 15g more. Still a very light belt micro.

man my scale has to be busted.im just shy of 350g. gino your sitting at 365. i know i use a trex canopy but damn, i went back to the stock 800ma pack, took off the boom fin, no tail heatsink. also just put in a ar6000 rx wich is only 7g.
