Ok fellas.... Im gonna start a new build, get'n a bigger bird and grow'n my hanger. Ive talked myself out of a Synergy and am goin with the Align. Due to the expense I think this one will fit my budget(hehehehe) better. I do have issues of preference as well as several unknowns with the fact this is my first "BIG" bird... The servos will stay.. hopefully. Align servos on my 450PRO DFC were crap and I went MKS.. love them, but Im banking on these stock servos to hold up. Im either gonna replace the 520 blades with either the Align 550 or Blade 556 blades. soooo.. . I figured id ask the experts here who have similar helis.... here we go
1) FLYBARLESS UNIT: I have been(and only ever) using the AR7200BX and am very happy with it.. easy to set up and solid on the 450... but.. I have read and read and read about the iKon. I am very interested in it.. the auto level.. well I think that would be awesome. Plus the gov in the fbl unit I hear is better than from the ESC. I would like feedback from experienced users of either.. but particularly that of those with use of both units. pros/cons, qwerks... all the goodies of each.
2) ESC: I have read enough to not want the Talon 90 on a heli. Im gonna stick it back for another plane project I have in mind for the near future(DHC-2 Beaver).. well distant near future.. not a much vibration in a plane so it may be better in it.... anyhow kontronics are stupidly expensive and outta range... so Im thinking CC Edge 100 or the CC Edge 80HV. I do plan on running 6S 5000-5500mAh. so that puts both as possibilities but if I wanted to run 2 6S(12S setup) 3300-3700mAh... the Edge 100 wouldn't work or would be stressed and hot, right?
3) BEC or REGULATOR w RX BATTERY: I really don't know why Im submitting this as an issue.. Im all for the Align RCE-6X w Pulse Rx pk to run the flybarless and servos. I cant seem to want to run the CC BEC PRO for some reason.. separate power for the control system seems right to me. However, any ideas on this are more than welcome.
Well I guess that's it... its gonna take some time to bank for the remaining pieces of this project due to... expense.. this much fun isn't suppose to be cheap I suppose. but with the help of RCH and its members Im sure it will rock. Thanks in advance for all of your help guys.
ooohh... I hear stories all the time about guys get'n batteries cheap.. 6S lipos for under $75 bucks... where is my ?... all the ones I see are like $120-$200.. kkkk im out...
