700 Gobilin 700 Havok Hs / Esc Setup

[USAF_Ret]

I am setting up my Goblin 700 Havok (3-blade) and would like to get inputs on HS setup. I have read somewhere that a 3 blade setup should be 2/3's (66%) of a 2 blade setup. The Havok manual says recommends 1900 / 2000 / 2100, which seemed high to me for a 3 blade setup. I looked at the 700 2 blade manual and it suggests 2200 / 2250 / 2300, which doesn't match with the 66% headspeed conversion for 2 blade to 3 blade.

Thoughts?

If you lower it 33.33333333333333~%, you are not going to have high enough head speed to fly it. Go by what the manual stated, it will be fine.

The normal 2 blade can fly at 1900 also. Its just a pain to tune at that head speed. I have heard that 2100 is an ideal starting point for the 2 blade .


The third blade will introduce another surface for lift. So I can see starting at 1900.

Been flying mine at 1600. But I'm a very gentle pilot. Haven't had any tail issues to speak of. I set it up at 14-16-1900 according to the Castle governor and just seems for my style, 1600 works...
