One of the local plank fliers expressed interest in maybe getting a heli, so I gave him the opportunity to try and hover my King. He ran 2 packs through it for a total of 27min of rotor spinning time. At the end of the second pack he was holding it decently 6" off the ground. I feel that another 2-3 packs will have him hovering a whole pack easily. I am not sure if he is hooked just yet but a few more batteries and he just might be. Here is a video I took from afar when he wasn't watching
As a note, this is my "new" king. The current component list looks like
- Xtreme CF frame w/100% stock tail - Purple head w/B400 swash and servo ball links - s3114 servos on cyclic - Align 430L motor + 35G ESC + Hobbywing 5/6v 3A BEC - B400 gear, Rex450 landing gear, Rex450 vertical fin - ESky 704B gyro w/s3154 servo - Stock canopy - Either stock blades (taped) or Align 285s - FMA 2100 18c pack
