RECEIVER PACKS

[Richard Rollins]

What Receiver packs are you guys using? Why? I noticed Darren posted you need to get something a bit heavy like 2s 4000 Mah for weight ?? I am using the YS 91 Tareq motor ..

Thanks,
Rick

I am running the OS105 with PowerBoost pipe. I too went with the 4000mAh 2s pack, I got 1 from Pulse and 1 from Gens Ace on the way.  These make the nose balance perfectly!

I have a few of the Pulse Ultra 2550 packs. They work but I was going to have to add a little lead to the nose. The frame on this heli is so light.

My 2550 mah is not heavy enough, my N7 is tail heavy.

4000 2s gens ace balances well...

I wound up using 2-3600mah pulse packs piggyback with a parallel connector= probly 2 days of flying, and the CG is just right.

Using a 3600 2s Pulse pack, CG is perfect with one, just hung it a little forward on the nose.

2s4000 GensAce pack balance is good

How many flights do you guys get from GensACE 2s 4000...just ordered two & was wondering.
Thanks,
Tom

[Darren Lee]

Mine will go for 8-10 flights.

[Rodney Kirstine]

That's what I'm seeing, too.

[Jean-Luc Bolduc]

Depends on your servos power consumption, I get 10 flights on mine with bls451.

[bmclaurin]

What voltage on those servos?

Guys,

The battery you use is dependent upon what electronics you mount on the nose of the helicopter. If you are the type of hobbyist that has a lot of gizmos and gadgets(switch-glo, regulator, battery voltage monitor, etc) then you will likely need a 2500-2700mah pack. If you are more simplistic like me and only run the bare minimum then you will need a 3800mah - 4000mah RX pack for perfect CG.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

If I read you well, your suggestion seems to be more oriented towards achieving a correct CG (have more gizmos - then use a small battery / have no gizmos - then use a large battery).   

This sounds fine from a CG perspective ... but a bit counter intuitive from a battery power utilization (if you are using more gizmos ... you should need more power !).
