| twinring: your motor will run cooler with the cp blades

Well, I hovered it yesterday for 10 minutes and the stock motor was so hot, I almost burned my thumb when checking it.

This is my next step. I was already using brushless motor on my HB CP2 with 11 pin. I have 15 min flying time after which I only put about 850-900 mAh back to the battery (TP 1320 Pro Lite). The King from the other hand burned about 1200 mAh in my 10 min test flight with the stock motor.

| Martin_gsxr: have you put shims in your grips? because King`s blades grips are a lot biggers...

I did not have to do any modifications to the grips/blades. The spare set I have for my HB (10 grams wooden blades) fit perfectly to the King's grips. I am not sure why you report they are different.
So far I like my King. It is a bit tail heavy, so I had to to a lot of Elevator trim to level it, but I need to find a better solution. I will see if I can reposition the battery to take the place of the receiver. I am also having some tail hunting, and I am using 401 gyro in HH mode. I think it is because of the slop in the tail grip slider, so I need to find a way to eliminate it. There is also a slop in the swashplate, but this seems to be bad part and the vendor agreed to replace it along with the faulty main blades set. |
