What hs and flight time are yall getting?

[504Rone]

I had to run atleast 2800 to hold the tail so im down to a lil less then 4 mins.

[paboater76]

2300 - 2350 6min flights on 3000mah I put 1800 back in, so I could get 7 - 8 min flight times. Only doing FF and circuits.

[504Rone]

The tail wont hold at that hs once you start flying hard.

[Souskei]

2825 governor mode
About 5 mins
Putting back around 1700 - 1900mah (2600mah packs)
Sport flying and little 3d

[Steemo]

Running 100% Thr on stock gearing. 2600mah packs = 4min, 3000mah packs = 4.5min (always putting back >=80%)

I am only just starting to get to the point where I have been able to make the tail let go on fast tail slides. The thing did a perfect 180 while I was half way to levelling out scared the crap outta me as the tail had always been rock solid since I put a BeastX on.

Maybe bigger tail blades would help with tail authority at lower head speeds
I do know a lot of the 600E Pro guys are facing this same problem and most use bigger tail blades to fix it.

2600-2900 hs 5min flights with an 3700 mAh Lipo. Charge 2800 mAh in.

[hamstar78]

well with my 2600 packs im only getting 3.30 flights but with my 3300 im getting 4.30, im gonna try 3000 soon to get around 4min cause the 3300 are alittle nose heavy. running 100 flat curve and it rips, i love it

[tomd27858]

Running 11t at 100 flat. Time is 4:30 on TP 2700 putting 70 percent back.

htf do you fit that under the canopy, I imagine it would be very nose heavy too

[dannylightning]

On my old 500 ESP I was getting 5.5 min flight times running 2700 rpm using a 2650mah pack with a scorpion motor

Sent from my little tablet, spelling may be much worse than usual.

[504Rone]

I was hoping to get atleast 4 mins. Was getting 5 on esp with same setup and lower hs.

[jschenck]

500EFL all stock getting 4 1/2 minutes putting back about 2000 in my 2600 packs running 85% throttle most of the time with some 100% (which is crazy HS, don't need it) Thinking of dropping down a tooth on the pinion.

[Chep]

I'm squeezing 7 mins out of a 3000 mAh cell pack (still over 80% charge). My throttle is very tame at 70% and so is my pitch curve -6, +10. Mainly short FFs and hovering. Getting more comfortable with the bird, so sport flying it is for a while.

That was the problem I was having as well. Even at 2800 it will blow if you really throw the collective around. I had to solve the problem by putting larger tail blades on as well as full size tail servo. Now the tail holds rock solid at 2800 no matter what I do to it. Unless I load the head up but to fix that just need some better batteries with higher c rating. Everybody that has an older esp that has turned it into a pro never seem to have problems with their tail, and I think its due to the higher gearing of their tail that allows them to fly the lower head speed and hold rock solid. Id be r unning flat out and I think the tail would hold fine but using the koby and leaving the 20% headroom for the gov Im stuck around 2800 headspeed. Only other option would be changing pinion but not sure the motor could handle the heavier load or not.

The Pack Size is: 150 x 43 x 44mm.

Nearly the same as the Turnigy 3300mAh 30C

What tail blades are you using?

[bosco49]

Im runing a Turnigy 4cell 4400mAh 15C and getting 12min..no 3D just hover and flying around.

I am running Edge 72mm blades. Here is a picture of the setup.

[ManilaIce]

4:30 on some flips and rolls, a few 95% idle ups in between.

[504Rone]

Thanks, I guess the edge tail blades are next on my list.
