Below is the email from Mike Price and David Stewart after testing his new EX with 420mm MS Composit Main Rotor Blades. They are available for email...Hey Herold,
today david and i got in a flight on my qj-8 between light rain showers. the
only thing we have really wanted to improve was the flipping front and back
and side to side. i ran i idea by david to up my head speed. on normal i'm
running 0./40/60 and we only been running one idle up and it's 67/45/67. and
even at that we have been very happy with the head speed, so i adgusted the
number on idle 2 to 74/50/74 and WOW!!! it made the diffrence. david was
doing continues flipps and rolls without moving front and back and he almost
never lost any height during the flipps!!! it's was amazing!!!! he did some
good fplipps and so 3-d and then autoed it from about 25 feet high and then
looked at me and said it's awesome!!!!!! the higher head speed made the
diffrence!!!!
Mikey
Hey Harold,
Well after a week of rain and a Saturday of 30mph+ winds we got the test
flights in on my NEW QJ-8EXV2!!!
we tracked the blades in fast and adjusted idle up 1 for 3-d flying and
David and I took it up for some ringing out!!! we put an power meter on it
and here are the numbers. normal we running 0/40/60 and idle1 70/45/70 and
max amp draw was around 39 amps will an average of 30 to 31 amps, one
flight i flew 7 minutes to mixed flying and only used 1600mah!!! i'm using
5cell 3000mah maxamp hv packs i'm doing a 2 and 3 cell seriesed to 5 cell.
they have a continues discharge of 60 amps!!! we still have a few
adjustments to make, negative pitch was a little soft so we need to make
some adjustments to that and just a couple other final set up things.
this evening i drilled and tapped the solid washout arms my kit had to the
new mesurements for a lower flybar ratio. i flew 3 flights Sunday with the
ball links in the stock postion but with the new flybar arms. David and I
are very happy with the performance it has and looking even more forward
to flying it with the ball links moved in on the wash out arms. we are
very happy with the performance of the batterys we have decided to use!! i
love the power of the 990kv QJ motor and especially the power it has on 5
cell!!! can wait to up the head speed some more!! David was really ringing
it out he was doing great tic tocs and all kinds of killer 3-d stuff!!!
until we get all the setup stuff done and happy we are using the 400mm wood
blades.
But all in alll this baby is a Kick But Machine!!!!
GO QJ!!!!
