That said, my Swift NX on a 6S/4000/ 35C pack has more power then any Nitro 30 (even with the new 37 and 39 engines). Set for the lower head speeds (1600) that favor initial training, the Hawk will give me more flight time on their relatively large tank (14 minutes) compared to 8 minutes on the 550 Swift or T550. Ditto for at higher head speeds for aerobatics or 3D.
If slower head speeds favor initial training, what do you do to achieve that on the trex550?Is it the way you setup the head or is it determined by the size of the battery?Also what are the charge times for Li-Po batteries for that size helicopter?The 550 calls for a battery between these sizes-6S 2600-5200 mAh
