Does anyone know where I can get them in the US?

Also, I need a battery harness to harness together the two 2100 LIPO packs I have.

One other thing - what kind of batteries are most of you using, and what kind of flight times are you getting?

Hello, Peter. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports

readyheli has everything you need... ive been using kong powers and flight powers. it depends on your flight style... anywhere from 4.3 min to 10min, also what motor you have

you can make your own harness if you know how to solder.

With a Z20 -980 on 1800 HS I got 12 mins of gentle flying....in IU1 at 2100 hs that would drop to 8 mins on 3300's 5 min on 2500's and 4 min on 2200's

I'm using polyquest, and hextronics. So far the hex's are doing very well and are relatively cheap compared to others.

I soldered my 2 Deans connectors to my ESC so when I connect the batts they are in series. If you do it right it won't matter which battery is connected to which connector.

I'm flying the CFS kit with the Gaui 1500W/1100kV motor and getting 5:30 on FlightPower 3200 EVO 30s at 2100 headspeed w/ 550 blades. I have gobs of power. I'm going to try 500 blades and eventually I want to try the Scorpion 1000kV motor too.

Biggest problem I've had is slow cyclic. I initially had 6.5* of cyclic (AIL or ELE), now I'm up to 8*. I'm +/-11.5 collective pitch and I get just a little binding in the corners at full positive pitch. Plus, I put on the lightweight paddles to help speed things up. Haven't had a chance to try it. I've had some problems with the tail that I should have sorted out tonight, so maybe soon. maybe the ReadyHeli order will show up today.

off topic but if you want 2 speed up your cycle you can get the upgraded lighweight paddles then get a cycle ring and up ur swash mix so that way it doesnt bind in the corners

I put on the lightweight paddles, but all I've had a chance to do is a test hover.

I probably won't get the cycle ring since I fly planks with the same radio and I DO get in the corners flying that. I figure I can up the AILE and ELEV mix another 5% since I really don't get into the corners much and it's only at full positive collective.

I got it all put together and had just enough time for a test flight (hover) in the coldesac. With the 500mm blades, the increased cyclic throw and the lightweight paddles it's a whole new machine. I also got the TRex 600 TR hub and grips on. I was cranking over 2100 as that is what I was turning with the 550 blades. Might be able to crank this baby up to 2300-2400 now.

Due the the 600 TR having a bigger diameter and making the TR more effective, I did have a little bounce in the tail, which I fixed by turning down the gain 5 points. I may move the ball in a hole on the servo and reset the gyro to increase the gain although the tail seemed to be holding just fine.

The 550 was a lot more responsive in hover than it was before. I have a little more sorting to do and then I can start really hammering it. Looking forward to that.
