Almost have everything I need

[jmisuraca]

I have been searching and reading as much as I can about a 450 that is a tough as nails, easy to maintain, and built with quality parts… I also asked two people I personally know who fly Mini P’s, they both said this is the heli you want!!! Thank you Dylan and Allen.

I have committed to build a Mini Protos, and started to buy the parts I want to fly with. I almost have everything I need; I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone. I should be flying my new Mini in January; I need a few more things and need some time to build it.

I would like to hear what you guys think.

Parts I have:
MKS 92A+
MKS 95i
Ikon FBL
Tail blades (yellow)
Motor 1300Kv (6S)
Alu CNC pulley set Mini
Ball sizer
Pinion 15T
Flybarless head low profile
Kit stretch Mini
4x Turnigy nano-tech 1300mah 6S 45~90C Lipo Pack
ESC Programming Card
HK - 360mm Carbon/Glass Fiber Composite Main Blades (Blades to maiden with, I hear these fly good as well)

Parts I need:
MSH41501 Mini Protos Carbon Kit (YGE+Scorpion+SAB)
More Batteries

Parts I’m thinking about???
SAB Red/ White/ Black 350mm Main Blade
Curtis Youngblood Radix 59mm Tail Blades YEI-YB-59

LE-353FBL EDGE 353mm SE Premium CF Blades
LE-60SE EDGE 60mm SE Premium CF Tail Rotor Blades

Great setup. Cant think of anything better. good luck..

I personally like edge blades, they are reasonably priced and well designed. I avoid expensive blades whenever I can.

Where I buy there is a ~$10 difference between Edge and SAB blades. Not enough for me to worry about the cost difference.

Blades are a very personal choice though, each blade someone says is great, others will hate.

Exactly. I want to try a few sets of blades. Thats part of the thing I like about this hobby. I can fly different equipment.

That's going to be a terrific Mini Protos. Stretched. Low FBL. 6S power system. Nice servos. Ikon FBL unit (I use the MSH Brain - more or less the same thing, I understand).

The YGE 60A ESC programmed for Governor Store mode works very well on this heli.

For a carrying case, I have found this one http://www.ideal4allhobbies.com/CY-R...p/thg400xl.htm to be a very good fit for a stretched Mini Protos.

Regarding blades, I like the SAB 350's a little more than the Edge 353's. They are a bit lighter. The Edge blades are nice and stable, but, in my experience, they fly heavier. For some, perhaps more experienced heli pilots, that may be a positive thing.

I do use Edge CF tail blades and I like those quite a lot.

I hope you have a great experience with your new Mini Protos!

Have you tried the governor on the brain? I'm no expert. From what I read, a fbl governor is better then an ESC governor because its pro active not reactive, meaning the fbl "knows" before extra power is needed and the ESC reacts to the drop in head speed.

Just wondering.

I have read the YGE manual as well as the mini manual and two build threads. I don't foresee any build issues. I want to get down to business with this but I'm spending my heli money on Christmas, besides I have a big project at work due in late December. Putting off the build for a few weeks is a good life choice, not what I want. But the responsible thing to do.

I have not used the Brain governor. If I understand things correctly, doing so would require wiring in a phase sensor. I'm still new enough to configuring helis that I have been taking gradual steps. I do look forward to using an external governor eventually, but most everyone seems to agree that, for an ESC built in governor, the YGE Governor Store mode works well.

Sounds like a great setup, you can also get some good prices Lynx blades.

So far so good, and priced right
MSH Direct is also great to deal with
