I have a second 500 and I have been thinking about doing this conversion. I've been flying the heli on the stock power system for over a year, and I think a little higher Hs is better. So I really want to know what a reasonable HS to expect from the nitro version?

2930 idle1

On a Mutligov Pro idle 1 2925HS and Idle 2 3075 HS

with 13 degrees pitch

Over 3K yesterday. Need to install a GOV. What are you guys running for governors. I have heard the Align GOV with the Spektrum sensor and bracket? Is this the hot ticket?

Will i'm really happy with the Multigov Pro and Skepturm rpm Sensor . had it tach today and was right on. Thinking next time out going with Idle 1 @ 2850 Idle 2 @ 2950 still looking for that 6 minute mark without running into the header tank.

2900rpm at 13 degrees picth. the Multigov is working well with the Spektrum sensor. spot on every time i tach it

snjbird · 06-23-2009, 05:21 PM

So 2900 is giving 6 minutes of solid 3D, with a small header tank? Do you guys have any links to video of the heli doing 3D?

george0079 · 06-23-2009, 08:57 PM

We ran 3300 this weekend, just to see how it would perform. Freakin insane.

3080 is my normal HS. Revmax with Spektrum sensor

Gernejr · 06-23-2009, 09:04 PM

Has anyone stripped a front drive gear set from 3000HS.? I strip a gear this weekend in flight running 3075HS..

snjbird · 06-23-2009, 09:16 PM

I was thinking of using the AR7100R, any thoughts or research done going that route yet?

Check the bearings in your pinion setup.

I thought about it. But the size of the RX made placement a little difficult. I went with the 7000, instead.

Here it is http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=...e=bent500n.wmv

I just watched the one on the finless thread, awesome! That heli has a revmax? and you couple it with the Spektrum sensor? I wonder how the JR 3517MGs would do on 8 volts?
I need to start saving my pennies!

What's the gear ratio with this pulley system?

I'll be setting one up this weekend and need to calculate HS for this? Thanks

Nevermind I found it: 6.09 to 1

so at 18000 (peak HP) I should get almost 3K HS. I can't wait!!!

BenHeli · 03-10-2010, 04:00 PM

2900 to 2950 is good.
