RE: Power to hover?
I didn't build the Heli...bought it used. ...and no, I don't like half ass crap either. Which is why I'm going over this thing with a fine toothed comb. The only help I've got is right here on RCU and whatever else I can find on the net. So, unless Tex wants to fly up to Idaho and help me out I'm stuck with responses from here.
Anyway...the 2000 RPM's is at 50% throttle so getting to the 2400 shouldn't be any harder than throwing in more throttle. I've read that people use around 85% throttle in a hover. Is that about right?
