Question for debate...

What headspeed is safe/appropriate for a 450 class heli? I fly an EXIse. It is equiped with a alum rotor head, washout base, and swash but the blade grips and mixing levers are all plastic similar to the trex 450sa. The tail is also mostly plastic. I currently run the align 325 pro woodies. By my calculations I get to around 2900 rpm.

What headspeed do you run with various setups? I currently so mostly sport flying but am just getting into some minor 3D with aspirations to advance to more demanding 3D. At that point I will be looking to upgrade to full alum head and tail.

Have a good day.
