FP 25C 3700 6S good for this heli?

[mjr_larkin]

Wondering if this will be a decent pack for the CFS 1100kV version of this heli.

Can anyone estimate fly time with this pack? I'm also considering the EVOLITE 6S 2500 but that might be too short flight time for sure Maybe 5S 3700 is better?

im not real good with all this stuff but im pretty sure you need a 6s to run at 22.2v and if you got the version that uses bricks the that would be a good pack... i think the evo light is only 20c and im not sure but once you start 3d it might not be enough... you should also check out these batteries...

the owner of the company goes to my field and he has had several people fly them at events and our field and you can't tell the difference between these packs and evos.

i think the 3700 is a little heavy for this model... i would go with a 3000 or 3500 max and i think with the 3000 and 1100kv motor you can get 6 or 7 min of pretty hard 3d but i may be wrong

first of all I´m a beginner....

I use a FP EVO 20 6s 3700 mAh on a plastic frame, the CoG is perfect!

Flighttime...well I´m doing basic flying and stops at 7-8 min and pushed about 2700mAh back...
Gaui 1100kV motor...

I have the 3700 EVO 25C packs I am happy with them but i can't get my bird balanced. I still have the stock plastic frame. Mine is allways a bit nose heavy.

I am still no 3D Guy but i do FF some flips now and then and running 2250RPM on the Head with a Z30 Motor.

I am only getting 6:30min out of them by flighing FF 8 and a few stall turns. I could get it up to 7:00 min if i would restrain my self to hovering practice only. Trying slow piros at the moment and nose in.

In my case the bird is more balanced with 3300 EVO 25C packs. But i Plan to get a Rotorworkz Frame and then there will be no Problem wih balanceing!!

Allways good flights and save returns in one piece!!!

I see, good info. Do you guys charge your packs at 2C?

I charge at 1 c which is the max recommended for most normal lipos

I saw a post by Flight Power saying that 2C for evo lites is ok under warranty and 2.5C with EVO 25 packs and 3C for EVO 30 packs.
