780 Align blades on MSH Protos V2 - Spirit FBL

[johncclayton]

Hi All,

Anyone flying 780 align's or similar (e.g. 766 rails) on Protos V2 with Spirit FBL?

Just curious ... I moved from 710 Switches (love those!) at 1950 RPM to Align 780's at 1400 RPM for kicks and to try something different.

Not bad at all - but not very "locked in" right now. I have to be careful with collective of course, elevator wobble is present and I can get the tail to deviate from its heading hold position on full deflection of the cyclic - e.g punch out / rainbow @ full noise.

I'd appreciate knowing if anyone else is running the Spirit - maybe we can swap rough guidelines for setup.

Cheers - keep those blades AWAY from mother earth!

Mine is Brain, but I fly at 1350 for 9 minutes and it's incredible. Same blades.

Yup - makes sense. Before I did the Protos V2 I had a Synergy E7SE on a similar setup - 10 minutes no problem at lower head speeds, I also flew that on 6S quite a bit - very different experience (in fact I recall I maidened it on 6s - lol).

The Synergy E7SE now sits on the wall - its internals were ripped out to put into a Protos Max V2 - as somehow the E7 didn't grab me and make we want to fly it.

Are you using the Spirit for gov?

Nope. I've seen too many people having problems with that. I'm experimenting with Brain 2 now that it has Jeti and rescue.
