E-Smart 600 build thread

[HowNot2fly]

well I am HAPPY to report I am finally airborn again. I put her in a hover for about a minute and landed to check things batts stayed and temps were good.....so I did another 5 mins just messing in the backyard minor FF and side in hovers......
End results highest temp was 107 on the ESC and its 80 out so I think that is reasonable, no?


Country music flying vid coming soon.....
thtas the best feeling - back in the air :),i`m not a pro but i think 107 is not bad at all,hmmm,another country music vid ,Larry i think you should paint your es600 canopy so it looks like Garth Brooks shirt LOL:YeaBaby::YeaBaby::YeaBaby:

HEHEHE Control yourself! seriously thanks but it was pretty bad flying, I've done WAY better in my backyard and over my house did you see that vid with the fco2 view?

[thunderhead]

I was watching your vid. Looks like you have tight ball links and too high swash values. How come everyone is so scared of the idle up switch? There is no mystery or black magic involved.Looks like your having a hell of a time keeping that thing stable. Mine flew like that until I got everything freed up.

You are mostly correct.......not sure about my setup but I think it might be okay - what you are seeing is an inexperienced pilot TRYING to throw it around to show the GREEN I can keep her stable and spot land and all of that.

Idle up - yup SCARED - I fly a flat 90 idle up with the b400 but since I am still using woodies (most say the sheathing will rip off at high head speeds) I dont mess with idle up on this bird.....maybe get more used to the sound/size and put some CF blades and will dable with that.

Too late! the JEW gave me 50 already LOL



DENNIS - where the heck you been? was just getting ready to ask hownot2fly about you.....you must be a work aholic.

[HowNot2fly]

yes Dennis,you snooze-you loose ,but when i get the charger i`ll sell it to you for $60,deal??? LOL:YeaBaby: ,you`r right Lock,all Dennis does is work,work,work and then work some more,when i get my falcon 3d fixed (parts are on the way) i`m gonna have Dennis fly it while i`ll be the camera man,this should be fun vid,:thumbup:

[thunderhead]

What radio are you flying. The green is really cool by the way. I found that the 8mm ball links on the flybar have a huge affect on the smoothness of this bird. I was very careful to get everything as loose as I could, it made a huge difference. I agree that was a tight spot and cudos for that!!! I have set up numbers for the Optic 6 and the Futaba 7c if your interested.

[LockMD]

I'm using the DX6I and those ball links WOW you arent kidding those things were TIGHT I made my own reemer and reemed her out its loose now but could be a tad looser, I think.

[LockMD]

Any of my ES600 buddies want a deal on G4?
