Hey, quick question :) i know that Align helis got low tail ratio as you mentioned before, but is it really so bad or it is just me? I flied on medium RPM and tail makes turns very well, feels locked and robotic. But when i descend the heli and then give suddenly full up pitch, tail quite much drifts away. Increasing the tail gain doesn't solve that. Did i setup something wrong or this is quite normal behaviour for full up pitch? It is around 13 degrees.
@BladeScraperАй бұрын
It's just because the ratio is so low. It'll feel locked right up until you load it up more than usual and overload the limited thrust it's capable of producing.
@cutefox831929 күн бұрын
@@BladeScraper That's interesting why Align decided to leave it like that, considering that experienced pilots fly for them and test their models. Or is it just designed for particular flying style where pilots don't push full pitch suddenly?
@BladeScraper29 күн бұрын

@@BladeScraper I didn't know about that Asian trend as a factor, that seems quite explaining! As i remember you no longer sell tail speedup kits for 500X, so i wonder where i could get a suitable 5mm belt, because when i was searching on AliExpress, was finding only 6mm. I still will try to use longer tail blades first, though.

@@cutefox8319 you'll have to reach out to belt manufacturers, it's a really weird size you're unlikely to find listed anywhere. I used Taiwan Belt for my 470 kits. On the 500X there's no need for a belt, just a pulley. Cut the boom shorter by 10-11mm. 473+80mm still fits.

FC and ESC info is in the description. It's a quadcopter FC stack with a custom breakout board (I'm working on making it available to buy). The Nexus would likely be a no-go but might be possible. Realistically at this size heli, doing a build using a quadcopter stack is the best option currently.

@BladeScraperАй бұрын
@@shahram677 the firmware is the important part. They both run Rotorflight firmware, so they will fly very similar and in most cases the same. The difference is just the hardware... The Flydragon has more ports which comes in handy as the lack of ports on the Nexus is an inconvenience sometimes depending on the build. IMO Nexus is great for small helis, but the Flydragon is more versatile and more useful for big helis and nitro.
