3s stretch ?

[Sharkbait]

Had a little mishap this morning. In my spare parts I have a stretch kit. Can I run the stretch on 3s and just use 325 blades instead of the stretch 350mm blades? Not wanting to put my 6s motor in yet, I have lots of 3s packs to use first

Sure, did this for a while too. It´s the longer main blades that create the need for more power. Maybe you tail gain needs to be adjusted due to more leverage but that´s about it.

Awesome that's the route I'll take then. Thanks

Hi friend,

You definitely can. After flying a warp, I decided to stretch my vwinrc 450T 2 weeks ago. The shorter blades at 315mm did well on the stretched heli. Subsequently I changed to 360mm blades for better stability as my place is pretty windy. All at 3s setting. So everything is good. In fact you may be in for a pleasant surprise. If you do decide to go for 350 or 360mm blades. The lighter blades at 20+ gm may be more suitable at 3s.

Cheers.

quite a few people run full stretch kits on 3s, i have heard 3s is nearly as good as 6s just runs warmer tan the 6s.

The test flight went well, will get to the field to really see how it goes. Thanks for all the input
