Knight Flight · 05-25-2010, 12:33 PM

Just reworked power system on my Furion 450. Stretched for 350 mm blades. 6S power.

Motor: Outrage 1700 KV
ESC: Castle Ice 50
Pinion: 13T
Lipos: Outrage NRG 1300 6S
Mains: Radix 350mm
Tail blades: Radix
Paddles: stock
Gyro: Spartan DS 760
Tail Serrvo: Fut 9257
Cyclic Servos Fut 3157
HS: goverened 2600, and 2750 (about max for gov setting on Ice with 13t)
All Up Weight: 950 grams.

Comments: At 2750 HS it is about equivalent, or slightly stronger than a full throttle 3S Scorpion -8 setup with good batts. Significantly longer flight times than 3S.

Optional:

Comment: VERY powerful and cool running. Flight times are a bit shorter than that of a 3s2600 2221-8 setup if you push the heli hard. ~4-5 minutes. If you want an efficient and powerful setup, this is it. There are better servos than what I'm using out now but these fit and work well.
