There was a recent debate about this among some very smart, experienced people & I was wondering what was actually happening out there.

Resurrecting this poll, experimenting at 1900 and I'm quite impressed with how it performs. Unfortunately I have an elevator bobble at times but maybe warmer weather and more flights will soften the dampers. Anyone else trying lower HS on the 550?

My low rpm is 1850, it's ok but I definitely think it flies better at 2000-2250.

1750 for start/landing/crusing. 2000 normal flight. 2250 for

and 2600 just because it can

Governed to be off by max. 20 rpm under full load, 14 degrees pitch. 2250 is beasty with the hard governor!

@ crashcopterman

Try loosen the blades a bit. I can fly with 1680 if the blades are loose. I have them medium-tight and can go down to about 1750 before it starts to wobble.
