Guys,
My new Hurricane 550 is on it's way from Fung - I went for one of the combos but changed the Maxwell servos for the Spektrums and upgraded the motor to a Z20A 980Kv. I already have a 550 and I am just about to start transitioning from lazy 8's to circuits (I'm pretty solid on all orientations, but have the occasional panic) - I have bought the "spare" 550 to build up as I am expecting to be crashing unfortunately (everytime I move from one stage to the next I always crash more :( ) - I find my 550 so easy to fly that it was an easy choice as a spare "trainer".
My question - what should I be gearing my Z20A to - 13 tooth or 14 tooth ?. My current 550 on the Gaui 850Kv has 14 T and a 0, 80, 85, 85, 95 TC, I have plastic main blade grips and I think that if I use a 14 tooth pinion on the Z20A this will put me over 2,000 rpm if I use a similar TC (I don't really want to go too much lower).
Advice welcomed.
Thanks,
Mike.
