[@hermanquinones]

Thank you!

I heard you mention shakes, and when you spooled down it looked like it was starting to get into some ground resonance. I had that issue with one of my XL's (XL 550 stretched to 610 with a Nimbus boom conversion) and it ended up boom striking! Were you able to figure out that spool down shake? I'm keen to try nitro again, it's been over a decade and I'm trying to decide between this and a Nitron. The Nimbus makes more sense as I have a large stash of XL 550 parts already and I see quite a few common parts! But I don't want a "shaker".

It was a tuning flight and i had the refresh rate on vbar evo very high and had to tone it down. One of the issues with messing with refresh rate is that you will possibly run into or across an rpm range where it interacts with the high setting. So in the case of this build i simply had to tone that refresh rate setting down to 200hz and it all got sorted out on the spool down/low rpm.
