- Hardcore 3D flying: 2700-2900rpm
- Maximum recommended head speed for the main rotor head is 2900 RPM.
- Pre-assembled Components: Some components come pre-assembled from the factory, simplifying the build process. However, it is crucial to check for loose screws and tighten them as needed.
Maintenance Features:
- Loctite Application: Requires Loctite 243 (medium strength, blue) for various screw connections throughout the assembly to ensure secure fastening.
- Grease Application: Grease (yellow) is used in specific areas, such as the main grip bearings, to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.
- Regular Inspections: Pilots are advised to regularly check the model, perform pre-flight checks before every flight, and inspect blades and linkages for any damage or looseness.
- Part Replacement: All broken or defective parts should be replaced immediately to prevent crashes and ensure safe operation.
- Edge Smoothing: It is recommended to ease all edges on the frames that come into contact with wires using sandpaper to prevent cuffing or cutting of servo wires.
- Servo Wire Protection: Using shrink tubing for servo wire protection is suggested to further prevent damage.
- Tail Pushrod Assembly: The manual provides detailed instructions for gluing the tread into the tail pushrod and the shell on the outside of the rod using 2-component epoxy for double safety and to prevent the tread from turning after adjustment.
- FBL Setup: Emphasizes the importance of precise FBL controller setup, including servo center position, swashplate leveling, and linkage adjustments to achieve zero pitch at center stick.
