I now have everything for the build.... just waiting on the kit. Did anyone notice how little the swash plate was moving when Henry was twisting the flybar cage? WOW!! :shock:

Why did you have to do that to me Will? :arggg:

I NEED this heli in my hanger.

[DominicD]

Great vid of HC and Charley talking about the 550. Me wanty me wanty now. I wonder if the 550 will come with an align foam blade holder :)

[LITHIUMSTATIC]

I wonder if the 550 will come with an align foam blade holder :)

LOL... Probably not, but I have one I will give you if you want it.;)

[Greg Alderman]

Maybe this one...

actually we haven't talked about blade holders...maybe Charley has one in mind already...not sure...

[DominicD]

It has to say outrage on it ! BTW Is that a 3rd canopy mount pin on the bottom of the frame ?

[Charley Stephens]

Yes that is a 3rd canopy pin but it has chnged locations since then it has been moved closer to landing gear now

As for an Outrage Blade holder yes one has been designed and will be made

video from today with a prototype scorpian motor on 6s... never thought i would say this but i think it might just have tooooo much power!

Ade,

What pinion are you running on that motor?

[Jamesppp]

The 4025-740 pulls hard even on my heavy 10S 620 Raptor. i wondeder about it on the OR 550....Scared me just watching the video:wow2:

[byHISgrace]

Ade, besides the pinion, What: 1)+/- pitch 2)Cyclic pitch 3) head settings. That roll rate is crazy fast! Thanks. Matt

[Ade_Law]

I think its 11t pinion, +/- 13degs of collective, not sure on the cyclic. Head settings are on the lowest flybar mixer ratio/max swash input and max flybar twist with the stock paddles on the front hole.

the biggest change has been the blades which are SAB red devils. It transformed the model, lightening fast cyclics and collective compared to the maniacs that were on there. It needed a bit more expo on it tho which is why it was a little higher than it normally is :-)

Ade

[trextuning]

it's a 14T pinion, +/- 13 degrees pitch, it's on the fastest head settings for cyclic but not on the paddles, those are on the slower settings.

[Foxden]

Ash, Ade;

try the advanced setup Charley has in the manual, Steven flew 2 batteries 6S 5000 last weekend and it was windy as all getup 30+mph, stock paddles with the 300mm flybar. This is with the Scorpion 4020-1039 on a 12T pinion, all I can say is holly :BSS it was fast.

[trextuning]

I'll have a look at that later, I'm putting the 4020-1390 back in it as I prefer that to the 4025. I've also haven't tried the 4020 with the Revlock, so that will be interesting.

[DominicD]

The advanced settings recommendation isnt the fastest possible settings on the head, any reason why you wouldn't want all the fastest settings on the head ?

[trextuning]

because the fastest settings introduce a lot of variables to the head changing flybar input and delta angle. Whilst they may be faster they may not be the best feel or give the most predictable flight characteristics.

[LITHIUMSTATIC]

Whilst they may be faster they may not be the best feel or give the most predictable flight characteristics.

Exactly! That's why I don't run the fastest head setting on my G5. It simply doesn't feel like I want or suit my flying style.

[DominicD]

I'll start with the advanced settings and go from there.

[Foxden]

Capi,

The advanced setup will feel like a flybarless head :thumbup:

[DominicD]

I didnt have a chance to dial in my vbar before the snow started to fall (nasty wind came with it) so i'm not sure a flybarless head feel is necessarily a good thing :)

[Foxden]

It will change direction like it's on "STERIODS" just got back home from the field and watched Steven, Austin, and Charley beat on there 550's they fly great in the wind.

[Dogdocphil]

OMG! I just watched that on YouTube on High def and that is beyond belief awesome flight. I kept thinking that the Heli was gonna just self destruct. I wonder what head speed he was running!
