What I don't understand is the pitch curve that others have and recommended. If you noticed my pitch curve is from 50-70 and not 0-100 like others have set. The reason why I have mine setup like this because I noticed if I go to much over 70, it seems like I give it to much pitc and the motor sounds like it gets bogged down, the battery doesn't last long (5min), and the motor gets hot. With a PC of 50, that gives me about 1-2 degrees of negative pitch to get my back down when I cut the throttle. I can hover at 1/4 over mid stick.
0-100 would be used in Idle-Up mode. In normal mode the range is less because your not using much negative pitch if any at all. My pitch curves in normal mode are P1-50%, P2-62.5%, P3-75%, P4-87.5%, P5-96%. So your not far off.
My flight times at not that good using 1350 Lipo's. I'm getting about 7-9 mins. The main motor temps are down to 125-130 degrees after a session. I'm wondering if it's my setup that is reducing my flight time ever though it is flying pretty good for me.
Your flights should be longer.
Are you still using the stock motor?
Is there any drag anywhere?
Does the DX7 Rx requires more power?
