| trex: right now it is slinging some 600 fibreglass cheapies. come monday, tuesday...... whenever ups decides I'm worthy. it will be slinging tt620 carbons (light camera setup) and swe665 carbons( heavy camera).
seablade: thanks, this weekend I hope to have the gimble completed and all of the telemetrics and video moved over from the three blade.
500driver: no the packs are not "stock" you have to remove the voltage and current limiting block from them and solder in your charge leads. you then can charge at a user definable rate up to 10c (23 amps) myself I charge to 4.5v @11a for a total pack voltage of 45v. I charge using a HP6274b rack mounted power supply. I used to have a mastech 5020e but it bricked on me after almost a year.
As far as a coaxial, I actually have one started, it is powered by a honda gx31 four stroke to a helical gear box with dual outputs both top and bottom to reverse the rotation and up through a common shaft.
It will have dual swashplates and pitch mixing through the main. It will be heavy though it will probably have to swing 2 set of 3 at 710, but the nice thing about a co-ax is if you need more lift all you have to do is put longer sticks on it.
As an aside, this heli, the new avp, is configured to be a dual fuel platform. basically drop 5 bolts remove the electric front, mount the gasoline front. and go fly gasoline powered.
thanks for the comments
