| I am running my collective at +/-13 ( I might tone that down a little bit after some more flying) cyclic is at 7 degrees.
I am running my throttle curve at 100% across the board in idle-up, not sure of the headspeed.
I have my timer at 4:30 and putting about 500mah back in after flights. (EFlite 2S 800 pack)
the tail belt on mine was very tight, and seemed to put a little extra drag on the system. I loosened just slightly, and seemed much better (I was going by how long the head would spin by hand)
The wood blades seem a little more efficient, and stiffer (they are
about 2.5g lighter than the plastics also. The plastic blades don't seem to need the spacers, but the wood blades do.
The plastic canopy is about 9g and the fiberglass one that comes with it is 25G
I found a battery that is designed to replace the Eflite CX battery, but is 850mah, and rated for 15C. I am going to try one of those, and the GAUI 800 packs.
Make sure you check over the screws, I found a few very loose when I got it. make sure there all the links in the head are free (very sensitive to this) When removing links, it is easiest to pry off with a fingernail on the opposite side of the rod.
With the mech setup right, the Logitech 2100/3154 seems to work very well. The 3154 does not seem to get as warm as it does with the
GY401 either.
