| Where is all the Lepton EX pilots? Is this machine such a great performer, and has no mechanical failures, there no need to discuss, or what?
I am receiving a Lepton in the next day or two, so I would love to get as much advice as possible on this machine that pilots can provide here. I do see the "other" fourum has mass postings on this machine alone. Maybe everyone has deverted their?
Im just dying to get some start and set tips for my new baby. Is there anything that can be done on th bech that helps this machine at all? I here many use the TREX 500 landing gear to get the tail higher offset to the ground, as many are using a larger tail blade for proper tail authority. Any comments here?
How about 3s set ups at 22. volts, or 4's, or 5's, and 6's?
I see alot of pilots using some very high end motors/esc combos for this machine like the http://kontronik.com/en/regler-einz...ower-house.html and the http://kontronik.com/en/motor-einzeln-/kora-15.html motors.
This has me a bit concearned as this equipment is really expensive. I don't want to skimp, and use junk either. So what are some other alternitives?
The flying style I want out of this machine will be a style of large, wide open, circuits, with large loops, barrel rolls, and 540 stalls at the end of the circuits. Im really not interested in flying this machine extremly hard in a tight formation, nor am I qualified to do this with a high dollar machine at this point either. I have a 450 class for that kind of abuse. My goals are to have a machine that will last throuout my hobby experience for many years.(I don't plan on buying or upgrading for quite some time either.)
How about the stretch kits, why do this, why alter this machine in such a fasion? What does this do for this size machine, besides make it a touch longer, heavier, and harder on batteries. From my understanding the Tex 500 is a tank compared to this machine, and eats high grade batteries for breakfast. This is somthing I want to avoid at all costs.
How is the tuning of this helicopter, meaning, I have a cheapo JR6102 72mgz radio, and a JR 6102 2.4, with minimal tuning options. I notice My mechanical adjustments must be presise on my 450 as the radio gives very little options for extreme fine tuning options.
Sorry for the rant, but Im excited, and want to get charged up about this helicopter, as I have wanted this bird for about 3 years now, just could'nt afford it, nor did I have the flight experience needed for such a heli, just to waste into the ground.
Later
