I'm interested in a 600mm blade swinging electric...

For best bang for the buck, and ability to accept a high power lipo setup for 3D, and potentially go flybarless, which version of the Swift would you all recommend?

I'm contemplating a Swift build that I want to be able to have enough power to practice 3D, swing 600mm blades and have as long a flight time as possible.

I'm not sure which Swift airframe to start with, though the 620se is the hotness, I'm not sure if it's $100 worth of hotness over the 550 with a 620 boom and belt... any insight?

As far as components:

Gyrobot 700
MKS 8910 tail servo (4.8v: .054/2.01 kg-cm)
MKS 9660 A+ cyclics (6v: .098/4.7 kg-cm)
Kontronik ESC or Scorpion ESC
Western Robotics BEC (Mini or High Current version)
Not sure on motor, but am looking at Neu, Scorpion, Xera
Lipo power (probably Zippy 30C): 6s
Futaba R617FS RX
Main blades: Mavrikk 600mm G5 Pro Wide Cord or Radix 600
Tail blades: Radix or equivalent

I'd use Custom Heli Products adapters to mount the MKS Mini servos. I think these servos will hold up in a model this light, save weight and overall cost rather than going with standard sized servos and still provide as good, if not better performance.

Input?

Gyrobot 700 (good one )
MKS 8910 tail servo (4.8v: .054/2.01 kg-cm) never heard of these
MKS 9660 A+ cyclics (6v: .098/4.7 kg-cm) Same as above
Kontronik ESC or Scorpion ESC Jive or Jazz for sure
Western Robotics BEC (Mini or High Current version) Use the internal BEC in the Jive....great!
Not sure on motor, but am looking at Neu, Scorpion, Xera Any will be great. The Scorpion is the least expensive and the most power
Lipo power (probably Zippy 30C): 6s Good lipos
Futaba R617FS RX
Main blades: Mavrikk 600mm G5 Pro Wide Cord or Radix 600 Radix or Gohbee 620s
Tail blades: Radix or equivalent YUP
I would use standard size servos as that is what the machine is designed for and I know what "specs" say but talk to some of the Logo 14 guys who have owned both and see how mini servos compared to full size servos in a 600mm blades heli. BTW you can get BLS 451 and JR 8717 for a great price now...........Ron

http://store.rcsupersales.net/servl...AS-DS-20/Detail Yeah baby. Got one as a tail servo , love it. It will be my next upgrade for cyclic.
If you are going to swing those big sticks you should probably go to 8S or 10 S packs. I have a binged out Swift 16 with a Scorpion HK4025 1100, a Trex Motor,6S 4900, 560 Rotortechs, 84.5 tailblades, standard boom. 2200+rpm.5-5.5 minutes of moderate 3D. You'll get less on those big blades.

Should've bought a sim. Got a bucket of used blades!

I missed the 6s part Yeah I would go 8s or 10s if you are going with 600mm blades. If 6s, go with the 560mm RT................Ron
