Okay i know quite a few of you including myself are flying them...lets keep everyone posted on what the current setups we are running and or problems in the manual that was not detailed enough to help in build.
My questions:
The phasing for the slider...where did u line it up from?
What setup's are u running and the desired headspeed for normal and idle up?
Linkage lengths and pitch range achieved?
Motor and pipe combo's?
Main Blade and Tail Blade length combo's?

And I hope Compass is still listening as many of these are the questions that could be answered in the manual...but u have to love this heli...it's fabulous!

I will share with you what my group and I have experience and tested so far with the Knight 50.

Main Blade - Funkey Yellow Blade

Tail Blade - Raptor 50 (stock blade too soft and short)

Engine - OS 50 Hyper

Exhaust - Raptor 50

Servo Horn - the longer the better
Some members had mentioned in this forum that there are some glitches when banking left or right, this is due to one of the servo has moved to its maximum and the other have not. Care have to be taken during setup. I have the JR 8401 all around the cyclic with Quick UK aluminium horn.

Cyclic linkage - I have change to the Raptor's linkage, pitch, elevator and aileron. Stock one will bent very little if doing hard 3d core no doubt is rated 3kg but wont effect much on performance.

For optimum punch/power, I would not recomend Thunder Tiger 50 engine due to poor gear ratio combination unless if Kompass would come out with smaller main gear. (at least 1 or 2 tooth lesser than the current main gear to ease TT engine)

Speaking of gear ratio... what would be the best headspeed on a Knight to hit the sweet spot of the OS Hyper50, Curtis MP2 pipe.
I don't wanna run the wrong engine RPM just to get the headspeed I think I want.

Thanks

Going broke and OK with it.

My radio is the JR 9X2.

I set 1750 rpm at normal mode and 1800 rpm to 1850 rpm for stunt.

30% nitro with OS plug no.8
