Had 3 good flights tonight and my fears of a repeat gear strip proved unfounded - the Z50-800 certainly impressive and good bang for $ - seems to run quite cool - I'd guess ~150F but will measure up this weekend. Flying the bird interesting - more buoyant and floatier than the T600 - encourages you to get into Tic Tocs and more agile on the collective - seems a bit less inertia though - more prone to drift through a roll or flip and definitely more affected by wind gusts - getting around 5:30 for 2800 mAh faily hard flying so I think 5:00 probably a better limit for the 3300 stick which impressed me - seemed to have more guts than the 3700 EVO25 - maybe weight difference -= anyway loving to fly this bird and can't wait for tomorrow afternoon - posted FDR in the sticky and will get some HS and temp readings this w/e.

The Mikado heli is easy to build. Learning the Magic Box commands (VBar) may be a whole new ball game. Perhaps it is as easy as the software makes it look.
i think i need an eagle tree :D

What ESC you using on your 600 John? Certainly looks like its making good power!

The Jazz 55-10-32 which lives up to its reputation of being very conservatively rated at 55A - as you can see from the FDR I was peaking up to 85A and it wasn't getting warm let alone hot - Mr Mel a while ago reported poor power output using the Jazz and the Z50 but I've got no complaints :)

The Jazz has auto adjusting routines built in which cannot be overridden. That is why they work so efficiently , this results in not MAX power compared to some other esc's but they just work so well

So where do I order one of these new Z80-500 motors to try out?

Matt, currently the only person who carries the Z50-800 is TP Packs, at least only one I know of in North America.

Thanks guys, I actually thought John had some new fangled motor. On his eagletree graph it says z80-500. Had me thinkin' you guys had something new down there.
