Rotorflight Fun, Collective Pitch Quadcopter, and the Fusion 700! | IRCHA 2024 Day 4 Part 1

That collective quad looks cool

That M4 reminds me so much of my original Protos 500. It makes me want to get one. Great flying. Nice video

[@BladeScraper]

Yeah you're right it kind of does! I guess because the Protos 500 had just a single belt and no gears, as does the M4!

[@Xplanker]

@BladeScraper Ya man and the canopy, too. I still have a protos 500 in mint condition and flying. I made it flybarless, that's it. Did you ever get to fly one? Super light and ridiculously overpowered with the scorpion motor. I have a full carbon frame set, full linx metal tail, and the lower center of gravity rotor head also but never put on because the spare parts stopped.

[@BladeScraper]

@@Xplanker I never flew one but I have flown the Mini Protos :)

[@Xplanker]

@@BladeScraper Nice!! I will let you in on a secret. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on an Ak steam 400 pro. Do you know anyone flying one. Have you flown one? Let me know

[@BladeScraper]

@@Xplanker I don't know anyone with the ak400 but I have a couple friends with the 420. Haven't flown either. They look like decent birds.

What rpm was Patrick running? Sounds like it purrs

[@BladeScraper]

Not really sure exactly as I think he just runs throttle curves, but the low RPM sounded like around 2200-2400 and the high RPM probably a round 2700-2800. That's about what I run on mine.
