UK, 240V 240v x 15A = 3600W so your wall sockets aren't going to be any limit. The DPS600PB is rated at 575W so even two is not getting anywhere near the wall socket rating, even on 110V PS.. yes the limit of the PSU is 47A, not 48A.. my memory was playing tricks.

+1 on above, Hobbywing defaults work well on every motor I've tried.

I'm guessing then that you plan to use two supplies in parallel rather than in series? My power supply was used for a battery charger which needed 24V+ so I did the series connection. It was years ago, but I'm pretty sure that i couldn't get 13V to run stable when the supply was at high current...

i did a similar power supply conversion with 2 x 600PB supplies years ago, i still have the powersupply today, it works very well. What i did find though is that when you try to trim the output voltage much above default, the power supplies become unstable when running at high output current...

That will certainly make a big difference! Traditionally 450 class helis all used 3S packs but the new generation of 'stretched 450' (360-380mm blade size ) almost all use 6S. Some people aren't aware of the change so still recommend the old school 3S 2200mAh packs.

Tony is spot on, you dont 'need' the RPM wire connected. However if you are using the telemetry features of the iKon2 you can get RPM to your transmitter via the telemetry link. If that's something you want to implement you would want to connect the RPM wire. The other thing the RPM is useful...

A little tip for checking the feathering shaft (without removing it): Remove one blade (other blade must be fitted and pointing straight out as if ready to fly) Put a hex driver in the grip retaining bold and turn the feathering shaft. While turning watch the end of the blade closely. If the...

Rob, the 450L should have plenty of power. Measuring rpm isn’t easy on a heli, you can get optical tachometers but they aren’t cheap. You can get rpm sent by telemetry to your Tx but that needs the right hardware. the 450L was made in two versions for 6s and 3S power. The 6s version has a...

Yeah, that’s ok, anything in the range 3.7v to 3.9v is good for storage

Dual rates and expo has its uses but isn’t going to help if the tail is oscillating. Usually a fast side to side tail oscillation is down to gyro gain being set too high. Dual rates and expo won’t prevent it.

Did you calibrate the ESC to your Tx throttle range? If not it’s likely that your ESC isn’t recognising full throttle so giving you much less power than expected. The procedure forESC calibration should be in the ESC manual. the usual steps are: Take blades off Set linear 0% to 100% throttle...

Phil, This is the camera i use: https://uk.banggood.com/Hawkeye-Firefly-8S-4K-90-Degree-FOV-HD-Visual-Angle-WIFI-FPV-Sports-Camera-No-Distortion-Version-p-1184378.html It's pretty cheap but ideal for videoing helis because it's not got the ultra wide angle lens fitted to most action cams. It...

I'm not a fan of training skids but having said that it's hard to say from the description if they are likely to be the problem in this case. ''can't get the heli to hover' doesn't tell us very much. What is the problem exactly?

I look forward to your next video showing your newly learned skills, especially the low down piro-tic-tocs with the 880:biglaugh: PS.. for solo videoing I find a head cam the best option, so the camera naturally follows the heli. I use a head torch mount, but many attach an action-cam to the...

double post

Nice safe maiden, congratulations.:banana:

I'm getting 6 minutes easily. 8 minutes is possible if running a bit lower headspeed.

They are both single line communication protocols, so similar in concept. However they speak a different language so plugging an SRXL receiver into something that is expecting a PPM signal isn't going to work.

That sounds like tail gain is too high

The OMPhobby flight controller doesn't have an 'official' rescue function it only has self leveling stabilisation. But with a little programming in the transmitter you can setup a very effective rescue. So what I've done in the Radiomaster TX16S is setup a rescue toggle switch which when...
