OK heli guys, so the next step for my MD500E 700 size is putting on a set of 5 blades and head. So I've got the Roban head and now looking at the blades.
The only 2 brands that I'm looking at are the Spin Blades that are Asymmetrical and a good price. The other is the Witte blades that are full symmetrical and more expensive. So we all know the difference between the two blades and both have...
OK heli guys, so the next step for my MD500E 700 size is putting on a set of 5 blades and head. So I've got the Roban head and now looking at the blades.
The only 2 brands that I'm looking at are the Spin Blades that are Asymmetrical and a good price. The other is the Witte blades that are full symmetrical and more expensive. So we all know the difference between the two blades and both have pro's and con's.
The problem that I have is the gearing on my T-rex700N of 8.2:1. In Scale heli's it's all about LOW headspeed, say around 1300-1400rpm give or take. I was flying the X45H in Gov mode at 1900rpm ( with flybar ) and found the headspeed was always going up and down so I changed it to throttle curve and haven't had that problem anymore.
So the heli will be around 8-9Kg with the 5 blades on and full of fuel. So my question is, has anyone used 5 blades on an X45H yet? if so what blades? Will the motor overheat if I lower my throttle curve to get a lower headspeed? The black blades are Witte at 680mm long and 160g each blade the others are the Spin blades at 700mm at 125g each blade. Thanks for any help, Happy flying.
