Done most of my homework and I am about to get an e5 and stretch it to a 600. Sticking with rail 606. I like the disc size. And i am thinking of cutting the boom and TT to bring the rudder into the main rotor. Easily worked out but has anyone got a standard measurement for this job?
Setup:
e5 stretch with appropriate gearing
rail 606 and 96 rudder blades( sea level flying)
4035 560 kv Scorpion, jive 120
HV servo setup( undecided)
12s config.
I don't think i'm missing anything,
one happy operator.

Stretched I found mine very light feeling. You will love how stable it is. Currently running mine as a 550 on 12 cell and enjoying it more every flight.

Yes, after flying my e6 for years I am looking forward to a light 600. Might even get two e5's, keep one as an e5 and the other a stretch.

I'm going to be putting up an E5 stretch airframe for sale later this week. 74 flights. No crashes. It will include turnbuckles, the optional 4.5:1 tail ratio, the stretched tail, and the Quick UK magnetic canopy mounts on the front. I have to look at my files, but I believe I cut the boom extra short (700mm long instead of 715mm) but still gives about 11mm clearance between 606/96 blades. I cut the TT to give approx 2mm total clearance at the tips. I have all the measurements available on a Word file. It still has several of the electronics attached (VBar Silverline, Futaba BLS 255/256HV servos, and BEC Pro), but I prefer to keep those for a future project.
Overall, the E5 is awesome. I just prefer the stock version spinning 556/96 blades on 6S. I like it better than my Goblin 570, and certainly much, much better than my T-Rex 550 (which I just put up for sale).
Hope you enjoy your E5 stretch.

My E5 stretch came out 4g lighter than the T-Rex 600 DFC despite the E5 having much beefier hardware. A very light machine.

Thanks curmudgeon. I will keep an eye out for your e5. :)
