My Posts This: Topic Forum | 7 minutes nope, not "YET" and no one said that, so you've got that BUT it is coming soon and the writing is pretty clearly written on the wall of that very thing.
I watched your videos I look at the flight time and it corresponds to your flight style and what you are doing to the machine nothing more. Some hoverkings can get 10 minutes I am sure, I know guys who dump a 600N tank in 5mins, of course their machine is jacked to get the best performance it can and they smack it, that's the point mileage varies as you say, even in the nitro world. 
Sorry when I said 600 I meant Logo 600, there is a BIG difference between a t-rex 600 and a Logo 600, 600 Rex is a TANK in comparison my friend. Ever flown a well setup Logo, or just a t-rex??
I realize you have a great addiction to the hobby, I've watched your progress, but you are speaking without some good comparisons and knowledge base. Many of these members on the Electric side are speaking in terms of owning both or having went from one to another. You own a 600N correct, what other electrics have you yourself owned, tuned and flown other then say a 450? This is not a pi$$ing match, I'd just like to know...
Seems to me MANY times in these kind of discussions it turns to heated debates, and MANY times the nitro fellas haven't owned or flown an electric within the size range of comparison and ALOT of mud gets slung when they know eff all about the topic, it seems to always come down to more of them justifying what they're flying, I don't give two hoots what someone flies, but to be fair let's at least be honest and talk about what we in fact DO know.
Each of my 600 Logo setups is more then 3 minutes of raw power I can assure you of that lol, that is fact, with a good pack and good esc where the HS is maintained there is no drop off in current tech packs really, not one bit. If my Logo is tuned to 2200rpm with a 4500mah pack I can fly it 5:25, My 600N if I tune it at say 2280 and to get the best power it can get it's landing at 5:45-5:55 tops and i'm into the header tank, and during these flights the Logo is putting out considerably more power throughout the flight, zero bog. Watch Bert Kammerers flights with the newest OS, how long are those flights?...Exactly...
It's good to be proud of what you fly electric, nitro, any brand but know what you are talking about. A couple examples of your friend putting heavy packs onto an allready heavy bird is not imo even close to what we are discussing here.
If you have or do follow what new packs that are coming out are all about the math is there, that's a whole other discussion, but things even in the last 6 months have changed dramatically in the electric side of the hobby.
You can keep flying your Nitro I don't care, I love plug and play and flying care free of issues to deal with, it suits me fine. 
As it was asked to you, other then a few power play motors that use more fuel and give less flight time, what on the nitro side has advanced? A couple new models, a few new brands of fuel, but no real advancements to speak of,,, really..
...Once upon a time there were Nitros, flybars and frequency pins... |
