Lets talk head-speed and pitch!

[soviet911]

Hey all.
I will be setting up my 470L soon and need to figure out what pitch/headspeeds to run? What are you guys running? What is the max collective and cyclic pitch for this bird?

My original plan is to set it up with 2200,2500,2800 PRM, 10 degrees of cyclic pitch and 14 degrees of collective pitch (if travel allows).

Thanks all!

No replies so I'll pipe in.
Head speed what your comfort level is but many have posted 2800 as a nice head speed for the 470.
Cyclic pitch is what ever the FBL unit setup requires, Microbeast is 6deg. and then you set the absolute max you can get. The Brain2 10.
Collective the same, personal preference around 11-12 is average.
Head speed being to low will have poor tail authority but longer flight times.
My preference is high head speeds, gives greater stability, 13deg S pitch curve and better blades than stock.

For that size , Switch 383s. Also My Gob 500, Rex 500DFC and 450Pro.
