It's coming along slowly. I should have the rest of the frame built tonight. Then wiring and setup tomorrow.
I should get a test flight this weekend provided my 700 blades show up on time.

I flew 4 flights on it today.
LaDon told me I would love the setup. JR blades were out of stock. So I tried some Zeal 700mm blades. A few paint blemishes but perfect balance out of the package. The KDE motor just seems to have endless power. I may have a new favorite heli. I still wont head to the field without my nitro!

I've then flying the Forza 700 for about 8 months now. I have had absolutely zero issues with the mechanics and it flies like its on rails every single flight.
You're going to love it! |

The build and setup were a breeze. It required very little tuning on the VBar.
So far I have flown it with blades sizes ranging from 690-718mm. It's a awesome heli for sure.

Justin, by now you've got quite a few flights on the Forza I'd wager. What are the logs showing on the ESC if you don't mind me asking? I saw the specs recommended a 160A ESC but I am curious to know how much it pulls down in a hard flight. I know that is more to do with style and total pitch. But on average I wanted to know if 160 was overkill or if a 120 would be more than sufficient?
I have a CC120 on my Aurora with a 520 Ultimate motor and i think the worst I've seen on it was around 130Amps. The Aurora is fairly light at 11.4lbs all up weight with pulse 4500s, so I wanted to see where the Forza sits with the boom cover and similar batteries. I got to pick one up the other day and it felt a little heavy, but it had 5000s in it and I didn't have the Aurora there to compare it side by side.

Worst spikes I have seen were around the 180a range. With 718mm blades @ 2150rpm and 14 degrees collective.
Same head speed 13.5degrees collective on KBDD 710s. I rarely get over 120a. So the 160 isn't really needed but I like the overhead.
