My Posts This: Topic Forum | I'll have to say, I have six spin controllers and I've experienced just the opposite in all flight conditions. One example is my first 700E. I was a bit wild when I set it up. 2250 head speed with 710 blades, +-15 degrees of pitch, V-Bar w/mikado's 700 head conversion, and weighs in at about 11.25 lbs with 5000 6S X 2. This thing has scarry power, but it's very exciting to fly. It holds motor and therefore head speed under the most extreme loads going up almost out of site like a rocket. When Matt Botos flew it, he flew it straight and very fast and said it was going well over 100. He was VERY impressed with the power and RPM holding capability. Unfortunatly at this high head speed it pulls the batts down to nominal in 4.5 mins. However it's a kick azz four and a half mins. When Krause flew it he did not like it. He said it was TOO MUCH. Too much what I asked, he said too much POWER, too much head speed, too much collective, and too much cyclic (too be smooth). Even with all of this, it's difficult to pull the motor down much at all. The Spin holds the rpm extremely well under all flight conditions and doesn't have to be over geared to be consistant throughout the flight. I could say much more, but I'm more interested in hearing if anybody has accually experienced any negatives with a spin of any size...? |
