If you like them so much why did you sell me yours? You going to get another one?

How do you like the 140 degree swash compared to the 90?

I just build it for Dino,and test fly it. ( can't afford 2x 90se + electric all together)..

I'm just saying,it's really nice heli.Had no problems with anything today from the first hover.Everything work's great.

140 deg swash? - no interaction at all.Like it better.With 90 deg,you have to use a little of swash mix.

I agree on the 90 degree swash. I too need to go to the 140. I really like the e620. The RotorTech 610's are the best blades I have ever flown too. I did manage to have a 85HV go up in flames while flying, CC said the Orbit 30-12 was the cause even though it never made a peep and had tons of power. I really liked it. I just put a Z50A-600 and it doesn't feel as spunky as the Orbit but it's a lower KV, 565 in stead of 650 and I don't have the right pinion to gear it up yet. The heli feels a lot better at 2100rpm than the 1800 it is now and that's a fact!

Take care and enjoy

I’m sure glad I got rid of my trex and purchased a E620 – it’s just so much nicer to fly.

MaxAmps 5000 LiPo

Plenty of flight and so much power that you can’t tell that it has a large battery. The 3700’s I had just didn’t fly long enough for me.

They never actually said that only that, and I quote, "Tom,

Got your motor today, and it seems there is an open on one of the phases (a partial open, or a partial short (I don't know what the Pletty resistance is supposed to be ... the phases read 17, 26, 26 milliohms)

It looks to me like the motor needs to be replaced.

Sorry for the bad news.

Patrick"

I wouldn't have guessed too many amps since the motor never got over 130 degrees and that was after back to back flights!

I'm running it on the new 85HV and can't tell a difference but only have 2 flights on it. I'm running a 12 tooth on the Z50A-600 and the headspeed is too low, or atleast too low to tell a difference since the head speed is different than what it was with the Orbit.

You running 2100 on your's Ben?

So how much flight time you getting out of the new 5000 mah packs?
