Z20 14 T Vs 15t

[Zoobie]

I will throw a 14T in my next order from readyheli, but does anyone have a clever way of setting gear meshing on the hurri, it is a real pain!!

No easy way....I've read using the paer between the teeth BUT it does no good when you can't move or keep the motor in postion on removal....it's just lots of trial end error...AND don't give up becuase too loose or tight will eat the gears.

Wazzer....1900 sounds a little high with the 13t on 3s lipos...do you have the Eagle tree calibrated for the 13t...?

I'm not sure you would see much more with the Z20.....I'm running the 14T and get about 1900 with that...But I may have a problem with my ESC as i have had as high as 2100 registered on the Eagle. I'm going to try the optical tach and see what that gives me.

In any case, at your (our) level of flying the Z20 seems to be a good choice for extended flight times and battery life. it also alows good performance from 2200 lipos so you can take advantage of some cheap lipos. 3300 at $120 each get expensive for 1 flight. Your pushing $240 worth of lipos for 6 minutes of flying, I'm going to try a set of the Hextronics for $27 each...$54 for 6 - 7 min sounds a lot better to me.

I have set up the Eagle tree with same info as others on this site but i have yet checked it agaisnt another Tach.

I do however have the Eagle tree optical tach but have yet to fit it to the heli
as soon as i have done so i will let you know what HS i am getting.

I know what you mean about the Packs thats one of the reasons i like the sound of the Z20
Sadly funds do not allow one right now as have other priorities

Ben..

Come on now, let's get our priorities staright......what's more important....??

Food or heli parts? No question....:thumbdown:

Beer or heli parts.....maybe a question :YeaBaby:

Just use the old paypal...and tell the wife/girlfriend it's just "a few small parts"...:thumbup:

I installed the optical tach tonight and ran it up without blades....if i can believe ti over the brushless RPM i'm getting a few hundred more RPM's.

i need to try it with the blades on and see what i get...in themiddle of possible Tornados right now...with the "Siren" going off...but hey...back to the prioities.

If we survive....(me, my wife, & the 550 will be in the closet) Hope there is enough room for the wife....

I'll keep you posted on my results...

Reply Hey Mike

Hope you came out of the Tornado ok and that you and the Hurry .... um I mean wife are unhurt!

Problem is i already play the paypal game and add to that the credit card game as well!!

Anyway i may be able to sneek it past her, the next problem is placing an order with flying hobby for one item only! now thats near impossible!!

Tornado hit about 10 miles away and several people were killed in more than one location in TN.

We don't realize how Blessed we are sometimes and how life can turn on a dime in an instant !

went out flying to day and got one flight before busting a servo wheel and all other spares were home....:arggg:

Also got the "Wag"..will have to deal with that...but I do like tinkering...
