target headspeed on the plastic dragonus 2
I plan on upgrading to carbon blades right off the bat, but what's the target headspeed for 3D on the plastic head?

i would aim for about 2700-2800 but no more for obvious reasons.

I ran one at a governed 3000rpm with CF blades, and it was unbelievably fast in the flip and roll. Headspeed was probably too fast for an all plastic head, but it was a lot of fun.
As stated above, I would shoot for a max of 2800 just to keep it on the safe side. |

Agree with 2800.
I run at 2400 to get longer flight time. Butuz |

Full plastic - MAX 3000 I'll say... for safety.
But,If you change the hub to alu,you can go much higher. I ran max at 3700 on the Performance head (swash&hub alu,all the rest plastic(nylon))

I run the alu swash and headblock on the dragonus I got from Hobby People. Within about 10 minutes flying time at 3200 my belt broke resulting in a crash. Good thing a replacement heli is only $40. I'd recommend the HQ belt as insurance. The dragonus I had from HL never broke a belt in 19 months of flying at similar headspeeds.
