Outrage 550

[pi3k]

For electric helis, if you can control throttle directly with throttle channel, why do you need a gov? can you do mild 3D without a gov? i only have a 6 channel radio and am thinking of moving up to a Outrage 550 or Trex 600 or 700 esp and wonder if I need a 7 channel radio.

@pi3k

I do not use gov mode myself. I use the radio settings for a throttle curve. You do not need a gov for 3D flying. And yes you can use a 6 chanel radio for these sized helicopters. I started with the DX6i and later got the DX7se.

Nice video all around. The 550 rocks. I've had it on my list since Heli Invasion in 2009. Thanks for sharing.

What main and tail blades? How is the Neu compared to the Scorpion? Thanks for your reply.

[MecosHeli]

SWE Main Blades and stock white tail blades.

Both the NEU and Scopion motor are good for this Heli. The NEU has more power overall, runs a bit cooler But costs a lot more.

[lucianmp]

Fiberglass or carbon?

[MecosHeli]

The SWE main blades are Carbon, the stock tail blades are plastic.

The kit itself is G10 Fiber.

Thanks Guys, I am having a great time with the Outrage. This is a great heli to grow with and learn from.

I have a long way to go yet, but I am enjoying each flight on the journey.
