| balbs,
My timer is set to 4min only..... I start my timer after the head is fully spooled up, which takes 7-12sec..... At 4min alarm, I either land or play a little bit more....... When I do, I sometimes hit 5min mark...... Temp readings are variable, depending on how hard I worked the heli and the weather condition...... There are days when I get higher reading when weather is colder, and days that are warmer yet lower temp reading....... Anyways, the highest reading so far was about 149°F...... Not really a concern since the manual says the highest temp before the magnets degrade is over 250°, if I remember it right...... So it's a hotter motor than Kora........ But one of our guys in this forum, tried this motor and attested it bogs less than Kora and started having fun with his Lepton, not fearing tail blow outs......
demosa,
I did stripped the main gear with 425mm blades running 11° pitch which I now believed is not required on a Lepton to have a good pop........ 11° is just plain greedy and don't serve a thing...... My pitch is now dialed down to 9° with MAH and 10° with Align blades....... and the main gear is holding still..... I'm about to move down to 16T pinion to fine tune the governor mode.......
There's a couple of required setting for this motor...... 8Khz frequency, 24° timing advance, number of pole ect....... I never own a Jazz, but Jazz being high end, high dollar, and as most claims it to have numeruous adjustable setting, I assume it really has a lot of settings configurable....... Automatics doesn't always produce the best performance although sometimes longer flight time but less power........
I think of it as "Rock Concerts 'R' Fun"...... So Lepton with 2826/8 4S is fun ("Rocks" ) ....... |
