I have Hobbywing 60a esc on my Gaui X3 and my 450. Make sure that the area that you're going to place your heli on is level. I went with the Admiral idea and made me an adjustable stand.

on my 450 im using a 40A ESCHi Rico, two questions: what kind of ESC are you using? and are you using a digital pitch gage? My reason for asking is, have found that a 60 amp is well suited for a 470 size heli and using a digital gage is more accurate in fine turning the pitch. Both D.O.G. and ExCCHP have brought some interesting points to consider. Fran11784 another member of the forum who lives about 10 minutes away schooled me on these areas.

on my 470 im using the stock ESC 50A
on my 700 im using a kontronik 80A
and yes i have digital pitch gage
im sure that the hellis are flying fine, now i just have to learn how to fly them again, i stop flying for about 10 years ago, becorse of work out side contry, so thy have just been standing here at home in that time
the biggest problem i have now is making my TX work with real flight

I would do some research before putting her in the air. My 500 has 100a and my 550 has 120a. A little overkill but not under. I found my XL Power 550 brother the 700 and they recommend 130a minimum XLPower Specter 700 V2 Nick Maxwell Edition (NME) Electric Helicopter Kit [XLP70V2K03] I would ask around... better safe then sorry.
