Now I'm looking at 15+ minutes of flight time, the only thing I notice is that the main motor is HOT after this much hovering. and i've still got more than 2v's left to go in my Lipo before I'm at the 9.6v cutoff. I just can't wait to get my parts tomorrow so I can fly again. Any more info you have would be greatly appreciated. any kind of hint's Tips or anything. Oh yea as far as the balance of the heli goes with the new lipo in. it seems to be just about the same as with the stock batt. if not it's actually a little more centered. I noticed it felt more balanced with the lipo vs the stockie. not to mention the noticeable increase in power.
Look at your motor where the heat sink is. On each side there are slots. Cut out slots on the heat sink to match the slots on the motor. You won't believe how much cooler the motor runs. There is a picture somewhere on the forum, but I don't know where it is off the top of my head. Maybe someone can point it to you so you can see what it looks like. Hope this helps. My motor runs soo much cooler since I've done that.
