I had dis-assembled one of my ES600's (the one listed for sale) and after re-assembling everything and re-adjusting all my settings, I finally found the extra power I've been missing. My ES600's have never had much power for verticle climbs, I partially attributed this to using 5S1P battery, well after re-doing everything, wow, now I should be able to pull off some half baked tick-tocks and definetly be able to flip it over for inverted hovers alot easier. just wish I had charged my batteries up sooner so I could go practice, such a nice day today

So what did you do different?

Yes please let us know. My esmart just got here and I also went the 5s route.

not really sure what it was I did, think it was my swash mix settings for my pitch, but I can't be sure as I was getting full pitch before but not the power like I have now.

ahhhhhhhh I don't know

, all the Tx settings are confusing.

But what do I care, it flies

I was also finally able to install my metal tail blade grips

, bought them a long time ago but never felt like grinding down the hub shaft so that they'd fit, but the other day I took my rotary tool (like a dremel) and ground it down enough to slide the metal grips on, then had to find 1/4" spacers. Major PIA, but in the end I'm happy with them, took care of the slop the stock plastic grips have and longer (you'll really need to use the longer tail fins too).

went flying today, had great flights as usual, couldn't seem to get my gyro to function properly on one of my ES600's but the other one had no probs pulling double duty

Me like the BLING!!

nuttcaze · 11-04-2008, 06:14 PM

yeah I'm really starting to like the bling myself, got some other bling I plan on buying soon. Tail box and main grips are next

LockMD · 11-04-2008, 06:17 PM

Mine is all blinged except the tail grips.

Good so it looks like you will keep at least one ES600 for good? I wanted to buy one of yours but besides my other concerns I'd hate to see you give up on this bird

nuttcaze · 11-04-2008, 07:04 PM

yeah I'll def be hanging on to one, still plan on selling the other 2 though.
