Heh, I've watched one limp into the air on a 3S before, but it could barely shift itself. Mine can't even do THAT 
I did all the soldering myself, apart from the ones inside the lipo packs, ... |

This claims to have similar discharge rate to my current setup. Having said that, the cabling on this lipo looks thicker - much more like what I'd expect for a high current application. |

| For example, I find it confusing to see Heliguy lists under the 500-size lipo batteries section.
It seems way too low a discharge rate for a 500 class helicopter?? Loving the price, though  |

| Yeah I'm hoping it's something nice and simple like the batteries. It's odd though - the motor should probably only draw some 30A in a hover perhaps.
With a 12T pinion at 22V and a 1800kV motor, th ... |

Something about 6S seems to be irritating the system, but the E ... |

This could be an obvious one! Running a Turnigy Typhoon 1800kv motor on an HK500 and a 50A ESC. I couldn't get the thing in the air on a 3S lipo (predictably) but not because of low heads ... |

Were I wanting to fly 3D I'd probably blame the ESC for the mysterious bogging on 3S. It is a little underrated. But this should be irrelevant for spoo ... |
