Here is the second flight.
Matthias, you'll see at the end the head is very free. And as far as quite, I wouldn't say it sounds any quieter to me. I think my tail belt may be a touch on the tight side, giving me the slight humming noise. I have loosened it now and we'll see tomorrow. Weather looks great all week

Thanks Guys, I'll be heading out again in a couple of hours to fly it again.
The motor was designed to work with a specific range of ESCs YGE and Kontronic. So the timing for other ESCs is slightly out on Spool up. But as you heard after 1/4 throttle its becomes as smooth as silk. There was no quality control issue, but as many people have raised concerns on it, Compass decided to design a more universal Can to work better with more ESCs.
None of the other "issues" have shown in my heli. No CoG problem, no Belt flying off. Quality control is not the problem here. This is guys in the field relaying there wants and needs to Compass, and they are responding with upgrades to improve not fix the heli. And all for Free.
I have had 8 flights on it now and i can say this is a fantastic bird.

Boys you gotta get one of these You'll never fly another 450 in your life. It feels like flying my 600. Super smooth, responsive, very big in the air. My tail vibes have gone after loosening the belt.
Flew 4 batteries then flew my 600 and didn't even bat an eyelid to the difference in size. Very similar feel.
6S batteries come down cool. Although they may be damaged already, as my charger has gone crazy and is now over charging on the 6S balance port.
If you are in the market for a new 450 Class heli, Get this, you won't regret it.

I got a call from the shop i bought the charger from. They told me to send it back. Lucky i have my old trustworthy Acucell 50W from Hobby King. It will only take 1,000,000hrs to charge my 6S batteries LOL
That's what I am gonna use to charge my 5000 mah 6s too lol
And add to that triton EQ which isn't any faster lol
Still researchin for a cheap gruntful charging station rig.. Anything I see isn't under 200 bucks give or take (something whic will do internal resistance measurement too) and I just don't have that lol
Fly safe!!
have fun!
