Kyosho Caliber 30 & 60 - Concept - Nexus > Will the Nexus 30 S fly with 550 mm blades?

I have been flying my nexus 30 with 550mm blades for a while now.
I just got to forward flight and I feel as if it doesn't have enough engine power...
I use +9 pitch.
When I go from a hover to full throttle the engine looses RPM ... (the heli does climb nicely...)
Could it be the blades length?

10x all!

engine RPM drop

I plan to try some 550 blades on my Nexus in the next week or two when I get a chance. I would think that the extra blade length would not make that mutch of a difference.

My guess is that either your engine is not tuned correctly and it bogs when you add collective, or you may not have the pitch curve and throttle curve setup correctly. The throttle needs to stay ahead of the pitch.

A slow throttle servo could cause this problem. If you can't seem to fix the problem in the throttle curve try this: make sure the throttle arm is on the 3rd or 4th hole out on the servo arm and on the inner hole of the carb throttle arm. This would speed up the throttle response but you would have to readjust your throttle curves.

What radio and servos are you using?

550's are all I use on my Nexus. Just make sure you have them tightened down.

10x for the replies!

I think my problem is that I ran the engine too rich ... I use coolpower 30% and it can run smooth (and under-power) very rich ...

I would like to try the servo link adjustment ... But I crashed it on friday ... I'll look into it after the re-build ...

Again, 10x!
