I'm wondering how much pitch do you guys run on your Velos?
I am bogging my engine too much (YS56 on 15% CoolPower, so it's possible it's even less powerful then let's say O.S. 50), on CGY750 I got 15° collective and 10° cyclic. I know it's too much, I'll resetup whole head today, what number should I get? I fly pretty aggressive, but consider using only 15% nitro. I'm guessing 12° collective and 6-7° cyclic should be OK?

I fly +\- 12 and 11 cyclic on my ys50. It does bogg but a little collective management keeps everything smooth and running well at 1950

11° cyclic? Maaaaan!

Flip/roll rates must be insane

Thanks for your response
I'll have to buy some 30% nitro, I'm afraid running this 15% CP cause of low oil percentage in the mixture

I'm running 14 degrees pitch (didn't measure cyclic as I just simply max out cyclic on the Beastx, but I'm sure it's at least 11 degrees).

Powered with an OS .55 on CP 30%, there's very little bogging, at least compared to the same setup in my 600LE.

The machine is insane with this setup!
