It's just because the ratio is so low. It'll feel locked right up until you load it up more than usual and overload the limited thrust it's capable of producing.

@@BladeScraper That's interesting why Align decided to leave it like that, considering that experienced pilots fly for them and test their models. Or is it just designed for particular flying style where pilots don't push full pitch suddenly?

@@cutefox8319 It's designed for a whole lot of headspeed, which the Asian market tends to fly at. Just look at Kenny Ko when he was flying ALIGN.

@@BladeScraper I didn't know about that Asian trend as a factor, that seems quite explaining! As i remember you no longer sell tail speedup kits for 500X, so i wonder where i could get a suitable 5mm belt, because when i was searching on AliExpress, was finding only 6mm. I still will try to use longer tail blades first, though.

@@cutefox8319 you'll have to reach out to belt manufacturers, it's a really weird size you're unlikely to find listed anywhere. I used Taiwan Belt for my 470 kits. On the 500X there's no need for a belt, just a pulley. Cut the boom shorter by 10-11mm. 473+80mm still fits.

@@smaze1782 nice! Hope you like it!

@@alwaysflying6540 yeah the M2 EVO is basically the same size as the S2

FC and ESC info is in the description. It's a quadcopter FC stack with a custom breakout board (I'm working on making it available to buy). The Nexus would likely be a no-go but might be possible. Realistically at this size heli, doing a build using a quadcopter stack is the best option currently.

@@BladeScraper perhaps mateksys heli? they are pretty small. I build a couple of them already and they work really well. dirt cheap too

See description for info

@@HuevosAzules you need to do some on the computer, not all settings are available in Integration.

@@BladeScraper at least the majority of tuning looks available. Thanks

@@HuevosAzules yes anything you're likely to change at the field is available. They are working on a MSP refactor that will add things that can be changed but currently they're limited by the Betaflight code it currently uses.

@@BladeScraper I'm already amazed with where it's at. I'm excited to eventually try it out. Still nervous for the first time setup, but I'll figure it out eventually

@@HuevosAzulesit’s not the easiest to setup I have tried it even with the videos out there it’s still very confusing

@@Backyard_Buzzard thank you!

@@dbirds21 personally just feel like 600s just don't have the power to weight of 700. I've found 550-580 the sweet spot for a 55, at least for my flying style :)

other than the wire issue (which is reportedly fixed according to my friend who bought one recently) and it falling out (my fault) they've worked well for me. Never had any problems with it other than those. But then again my other friend had serious issues with his so who knows lol.

@@kingfamilyrc5376 thank you!

@@shahram677 the firmware is the important part. They both run Rotorflight firmware, so they will fly very similar and in most cases the same. The difference is just the hardware... The Flydragon has more ports which comes in handy as the lack of ports on the Nexus is an inconvenience sometimes depending on the build. IMO Nexus is great for small helis, but the Flydragon is more versatile and more useful for big helis and nitro.

@@BladeScraper thank you for great advice I have two nexus and I’m building another 700 heli so i may pick flydragon Just wanted make sure and ask u before place order I heard gyro hardware are different,both of them great but different hardware I wish I had elrs but I don’t ,then flydragon would be better option with no doubt

@@shahram677 The gyro is different yes, but from what I gather it doesn't really make much a difference as both gyros are good. Anyway - both units will serve you well regardless which you choose. I personally put a Flydragon on my M4 Max (Nexus was not available at the time) and Nexus on my M7... if I was just getting into Rotorflight today I'd do the opposite and put the Nexus on the M4 Max and Flydragon on the M7.

@@BladeScrapersounds great buddy

@@HuevosAzules sorry lol I had to delete and re-upload because it got uploaded wrong. Here you go github.com/robthomson/RF2ETHOS

@@BladeScraper I was confused a little haha. Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much!

Yup he flew too long for sure :(

Huh?

There's only two options as far as I am aware, AS150 or RCPP S7, I used the AS150

I think I had some bad bearings in the tail idlers when I first built it, or maybe just overtightened them. Replaced those idlers recently and it's significantly less draggy like my regular M4.

​@@BladeScraper I noticed that on all M4s the rotors stop pretty quick after the power is cut... Must be drag in the one way or something. Does it auto pretty good after new bearings?

@@HugeVictor It's no worse than any other 380/420 I've ever had... perhaps a bit better than my Protos 380s were. The one way is smooth and low drag... most of the drag that's there comes from it being a belt drive. If you want a 380 size autoing champion, find one with a torque tube :)

​@@BladeScraper Nice, thanks for the input, although I maintain that the Trex 470l I have seems to have a lot less drag and it's belt drive also. No idea where the difference is, I'll find out when I get an m4 max

LHS like this you just run 100% throttle, running low enough for the governor to have headroom would be basically unflyable

@@BladeScraper this is interesting though, i couldn't hear RPMs drop during flip in this video, it makes it sound like it works as good as if it would have governor, i wonder how ESC is able to cover RPM loss at having maximum throttle already.. i realize that it just can add more amps but still interesting because with lower linear curve it will be losing RPMs, while at 100% it don't.

@@cutefox8319 collective management helps. I've oversped a gasser doing piroflips because my CM was good enough it hardly loaded the engine...

@@BladeScraper ohh, but could you please explain more about the collective management? I hear it here and there, but what exactly it means? Is it like giving only a little bit of pitch which is minimally needed instead of overdoing or what? What exactly i have to learn to make my collective management better?

@@cutefox8319 it's just about using exactly as much collective as needed to do a maneuver, ergo using as little power as possible, and doing so at the right timing. It just takes practice. Flying low headspeed helps you learn quick... Poor collective management results in stalling out and crashing. You learn quick :)

Right?? 😅

Wow interesting. Seems like they fill the entire spindle with a gallon of oil before shipping lol. I used red and it still came out. Weird.

No I got it mostly fixed with the smaller pinion. Did sell it a while later though

@@BladeScraper oh that's good to hear. Thanks

Yep a bit more thought could have gone into the mounting but I agree it looks nicer the way it is than on the E. Not the end of the world but worth noting :) Thanks for watching

same servo here. I had to shave a 2mm of carbon from the frame servo cutout area tto install that servo....

@@dbirds21 I got it in but was a bit of a pain for sure. They could have been done better

Oh yeah 😅

@@BladeScraper I fly them and helis, I’d hide your wallet if I was you.
