Yeah, that's for sure. That 800 "Trekker" can certainly carry a nice sized dslr, and they were actually designed to do just that. Or just be a bigger bad ass heli, with a lot of power to spare. Speaking of batteries in this thread, What are you running for batteries, 12s or perhaps 14s? How many minutes of air time can that giant helicopter fly? ;-) most guys at the ERCHA.ca heli field fly awesome 700's. Not many fly Align products though.
The 450 scale are great, for practicing, and can be flown indoors if you have enough space, (or if you fly with the grace of Tareq Alsaadi. though rarely if ever could that happen) Much more economical too, as the crash costs to repair don't really have to break the bank, too badly. Ha
If I could muster the pesos, the Spektrum DX9 with its voice alerts would be awesome, but my DX8 is sufficient for my needs, & plenty more... ;-) I will never have that many more flying models, that a larger system may be required. I feel thst I have topped out, or perhaps gone over board... Lucky I am happily single... Chuckles
My 800 is running 2x 6s 5200Mah batteries, also a 2S Li-Po 1900 2300mAh (x 1), plus a 160 HV Castle Edge brushless esc and BL815H High Voltage Brushless Servo (x3 cyclic), BL855H High Voltage Brushless Servo (x 1 tail servo), the 450 dominator is a beast at 6s to!!
Yes Tareq is a good pilot as is Allan Szabo Jr, Ha I don't use the voice over can be annoying, I've probably gone over board to, and i'm not single ha!!  |
