Thank you! I appreciate it!

Thank you! It’s a very nice machine!

Nice! That was the plan with my 470 and it has never been crashed lol

Thank you! So after the fifth or sixth white, I realized that the ESC LVC was set to 3.6V per cell witch under load or very easy to hit! This is actually the second hobbywing 150 I have run into that issue with. I set it to 3.2V per cell and got 5 minutes of Idle 1 and 2 flying. It is a great helicopter. It flies really good it’s really light and nimble but I definitely like the 580 a lot more. They cost about the same to build. Really the price difference shines in the replacement parts. The 550 is much cheaper to rebuild, but I still think the 580 flies much better.

They cost roughly the same to build the 580 is definitely bigger and I feel like flies better but the 550 is a great flying machine with cheaper parts and a crash.

Spare parts are very easy to get. XL power has been around a long time. Every online hobby shop has a full line of parts.

6s is perfect of this Heli unless your looking for more torque for harder 3D. I never got it to bog or lack power granite. I’m not a hard-core 3-D smack pilot, but I feel like the 6s set up is perfect.

@@westhobbiesrc8051 that's what I was seeing in this video. Seemed like it did perfect with 6s.

Heck yeah! Notifications on!
