Well I got to fly in thunder and lightening tonight, had four batteries, and lol be four the lecturers I was in the sports hall.
As I said I had four packs through the 250, which was the first flights since changing to tx control on the beastx, and it flew fantastic with the settings I had guessed at,
A little trouble every now and then I am getting an error on the talon 15 for over current, not sure why but I got it so might have to look at servos on cyclic first, good chance to go a tad lighter,

Sounds like ESC?

Yeah with the error code it has to be servo or FBL controller I think I will hook it up to pc tomorrow and look at the castle log,

Check blade pitch too. I've tripped out ESCs before when I have blade pitch set too high (like 16 degrees collective).

The talon 15 seems a bit small for a 250 i would think you needa 25

I tried using the hash marks on the top of the goblin head, instead of a pitch gauge. Second flight up (first was mild stuff to test the repair work) I do a rainbow and nearly crap myself. Blades are barking, RPM is sagging bad, moving like a bat out of hell away from me. I get it on the bench afterwards (land it? hell no!) put a gauge on it and it is 16+ degrees of pitch one way and 15-16 the other. Oops
