| So what you're saying is you're comparing the aurora to the 700N and they are both using identical collective pitch range, cyclic pitch range, blades, paddles, and servos, which were running at the same voltages of course, same pilot and you personally verified all of it? Interesting that you got that from a video of the 700N!

I find that to be very interesting and is very common all around the heli community. To be honest, given our rotorhead setups, I am sure there is an upper limit to how fast our machines can flip and roll (and I think we've gotten as close as we're going to get). I've even heard someone who has an Aurora say the response is like a night and day difference when compared to a Stratus. Now I haven't flown an Aurora, but I've flown a Stratus, a Synergy, and Freya 90. To be BRUTALLY HONEST, the difference in how fast each one flips is damn near negligible. I could only tell there was a difference because I was looking for it. They all fly DIFFERENTLY yes, but faster in flipping and rolling? Come on...  Seriously though, the only time I believe a machine has faster cyclic than any other machine is when it's flybarless. Now I haven't flown one, but seriously, from the videos (several of them), IT TRULY IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY on those high power electrics (of course, the electric part plays a role as well). And just food for thought, I have a Century Raven (yes a CENTURY Raven), and with the way I have it setup, I will be honest, it is FASTER OFF THE CENTER than my Stratus (it's kind of violent actually) but the max roll/flip rate, is about the same.
Hmmm, to really answer this question, someone should take two machines and record them doing 10-15 consecutive flips and rolls and time them. That'll tell you for sure which one is faster. And in my opinion, even a difference of 2 seconds over the course 15 flips (or rolls) is a negligible difference in time over the course of 1 flip (or roll) It would actually be a difference of .1333 seconds, man that's truly a night and day difference right there... give me a break
Ok I'm done. 
...now where was I, dh/dt = BS-dx/dt
I will fly you forever... till earth do us part |
