My Posts This: Topic Forum | I did a fair bit of sport 3D (flips, inverted, larger funnels, backward etc.) on my first Swift, that used the same 550+ motor and their 55A ESC (I believe the 60A one has replaced it) on 4 cell FP 3700-20C packs, using the stock 520mm blades. This was equipped with a Futaba 7CH radio, basic Futaba S-3001 servos and a GY401/9254 gyro/servo combo. Of course, all of this prices out a lot higher then the RTF combo, but it had much better radio gear. The Futaba radio was easy to change from a basic training set-up to a much higher head speed and collective/cyclic settings later, as I progressed.
So the heli, motor and ESC supplied with your RTF are more then up to the task. I understand the radio settings, servos and gyro are very basic and it all comes set-up for ad-intitio training. So I would suggest that you upgrade them when you are ready to progress into aerobatics and inverted flight. (That is probably why they sell upgrade kits that are designed specially for that.) |
was an awesome heli i never even flew it !!
so i guess ill stick with 4s for now
I haven't heard of many ESCs that are good only up to 4s and not 6s. Any chance it is a plane only ESC?
If you are just sport flying, You might as well run the woodies. You can go CF but it would just be an extra expense with not much perfromance gain for that given setup.........Ron
