| 10 T motor + AEK+Lipo FindingsI didn,t remove the Bell/Hiller but instead put the flybar weights back on to simulate the stock head responce. Put the 2 heat sinks on from the 9T on the 10T ,set the gears up and took off. 3 900Mah TP Lipo's.
Head speed noticably faster but not by a huge amount. Cyclic was still very good and FFF was faster as well because of the higher head speed. All manuvers were smoother and more in control. Stall turns ,,semi funnels and snaking through tight spots on my dead end road were improved in the handling. Main Motor heat was actually Less than the 9T but not alot less. Setup is important!
The tail holds better as you can do things with the higher head speed and less pitch to do the same thing compared to the 9T .
Climbouts were better actually BUT you never use anything close to full collective. When the motor bogs even alittle bit back off collective to keep the headspeed high. Same as the 9T at least for me but better climb.
I will say that you must anticipate more to keep head speed up and collective management is even more critical. Guys who frequently use max collective and slam sticks and leave them there will not like a 10T motor for long. It will bog easier because of even less torque than the 9T and will burn out sooner.
Max collective of 10 degrees +- is icing on the cake. It's way too much for the stock motor+ Gyro with ANY pinion. In my mind the high pitch capable on the Blade CP on any stock type setup is only there to be used to as a last resort to halt a rapid decent or emergency situation. When used it will overpower the stock tail[unless you compensate the tail} Otherwise ..smooth and smooth anticipated turns are required ,,actually the same as with the 9T but abit more. You must plan ahead as the power and gyro isn't there to power you out of every situation on any Stock Blade CP.
So far I love it,,it reminds me of the early Shogun V1's problems and as usual if you get the head speed UP and the pitch Down you are better off and have a much better flying heli. My fingers hardly move on the TX.
Setup is everything, All my heli's can fly better than I can pilot them |
