E5 Motor,pinion,battery and head speed

[Wolf51]

Thanks PV.

I'm steadily getting the parts together for the fitout.
35-70C 4500mah batteries have been ordered.
Ikon flybarless is on the way as are the servos and BEC.

I may be able to get a KDE 600XF-1175, don't know if anyone hereabouts is running one, but I think it'd be too much motor for me. I expect to be ordering the Scorpion 4025-1100 in the next day or two.

cheers

Thanks again Joe,

Its good to get some feedback and see the type of flying that's involved.
I'm sure my 35C packs we serve me well to begin with.

Nice flying again and hats off to your camera man, he did a good job tracking the heli and didn't flinch. 

cheers

Just have 24 flights on my new E5 with the 1100kv and the 14T pinion. 2300ish on the 4400's @ 4min and 2500ish on the 5000's @ 5min. Using almost 80% of the packs. The packs are warmer than the E7 on 12s. Kinda wish I could get it up to 6 min with down shift to 13T but think the lower head speeds would take away from the feel. May try it anyways just to see the difference.
Love this heli it's going to be a great time builder, I'm not as worried about he cost of the crashes compared to the 2 E7's.

We'll I may have been mistaken on the head speed. Mr. Mel's HS calculator has a selection for Kosmik and jive/jazz settings. Looks like I selected Kosmik when setting up the Powerjazz 120. So with the 14t pinion I may have been sitting around 2500-2600 head speed? Found is out switch over to he 14sg setting up my throttle end points and reprogramming the ESC I have down shifted to the 13T pinion and am sitting at 2400 with 6s 5000 packs. Much cooler now. Will have to see how it flys and how much it draws now?
