That odd Broggyr

I dont have a problem with breezes, its the teleposts in my basement that seem to act as heli-magnets when I am working on side-ins that cause me the most grief. :)

RE: Falcon 40 (Exceed heli) Forum

I think we are on the same page.

The rpm of the motor is limited by voltage.

As the voltage drops RPM drops

At higher altitudes you need higher rotor speed to get the same lift as...

They have the 13 in stock but not the 12. Need to find something else to put into the order to make the shipping worthwhile.

RE: Falcon 40 (Exceed heli) Forum

Yes chuck, your flight time will be less.
How long can you hover on a stock battery? out of ground effect.
Be very careful about adding weight (a lesson I have/am learning). Superskids are...

NooBHeli - batteries

You are off on a tangent with the C rating

The flight time is dependant on the mah rating and the overall weight of the heli.

The only factor the C rating is for...

RE: Falcon 40 (Exceed heli) Forum

FASL = Feet Above Sea Level (the elevation of where you live). The higher the elevation, the less dense the air, the less air density the less lift the rotors will develop for a given rotor RPM.

RE: Falcon 40 (Exceed heli) Forum

Too funny!

To all in the great lippo race, WATCH YOUR WEIGHT. 7.4 lippos + Superskids + 3200 FASL = very poor flight times.

Boyrazelo

The biggest problem I experienced with my heli was very very short flight times on 7.4 lippos. I read about how everyone gets long flight times and thought it was perhaps that I went...

I think that is a wife thing. I know stumps W4 was locked up under the tree but by the sounds of it he has been playing with it. He must be a smooth talker.

1) take blades off and balance them. Bolt together at hole with them facing away from each other and teater them. Add scotch tape to the light one till they balance.

2) Check to make sure that...
