Cazenave26 -> New Owner of E620 - Need Recommendation on Parts (5/9/2008 4:19:30 AM)

I now the owner of an E620 Tiger Raptor. After getting the heli-bug and fooling with a cheap FP, I was wavering on a T-Rex 500 and 600, but found this for a fairly good deal. I've been accumulating some of the electronics, but need some input on motor, BEC, ESC, etc and whether the electronics I already have are workable with this size heli.

Expected Use
I'm not going to be flying this 3D. What I'm interested in long term is aerial photography/videography and scale flight. I've read where the E620 flies heavier than the 600, so this should actually help me with the AP.

What Other Equipment I've Accumulated
  • Futaba 7C 2.4 GHZ Transmitter with R617FS receiver
  • (4) Futaba S3152 Servos
  • Futaba GY401 Gyro with S9253 Servo


Recommendations/Comments?
  • Are the S3152 servos going to be workable with a heli this big considering the type flying I'll be doing?
  • Is the GY401 going to be acceptable?
  • If I upgrade the gyro, is the 9253 servo still going to be usable?
  • Motor , BEC, ESC, etc recommendations?
  • I figure the battery needs to be a 10s considering I'm planning to add weight later on for a camera mount. [/ul}

    Thanks

Hey bud,

Saw your post on the e-raptor (and that you didn't get much for replys). Some of the other forums have electric tt sections and you might get more help for your specific model by searching through those.

I use castle esc's so I would reccomend one of theirs, castlecreations.com

The gy401 will work just fine for your type of flying, I don't know the specs on the servo you want to use. I run mine on a .50 Raptor Titan with a s9254 servo and get great performance. The radio will be perfect as well, unless you need a bunch of channels for your AP work.
