HK600 Build advise please

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Hi there

I am currently building a new HK600GT in a bell 407 fuselage with a 4 blade rotor head to carry FPV and photography gear.

I am not sure which Lipos ,Motor or Speed controller i should go for and was hoping someone here could give me some ideas on the best combination for this helicopter to get the best lift and performance.

	I run my 600gt with the 880KV turnigy motor, a castle ice 100 ESC, and 2 4cell 4000mah 40C zippies in series for 8s. This is on a flybarless RJX (2 blade) head. I govern headspeed to 2150RPM on the ice and get about 5.5mins of flight time.(sport/soft3d flight) Cells usually still measure around 3.8V each afterwards, and motor, esc and lipos are just warm. If your doing FPV then Im sure you can run lower headspeeds, which should provide more runtime. Im not real familiar with scale fuselage or fpv stuff but just to give you an idea of what kind of flight times to expect with battery capacity etc... I could fit larger batteries as well but the 2 4000mah seem to provide perfect c of g with stock battery tray...
