stock pinion? Stock tail blades? or carbon?

[@pescante2711]

Everything is stock, tail blades and pinion

​@@pescante2711cheers mate 👍

[@JustPlaneChris]

I would love to see how it flies at a more reasonable headspeed. That sounded really high.

[@pescante2711]

Headspeed are quite high, around 3400 rpm. Agility and power are amazing and I wanted to demonstrate the mechanical strength of the TB40. By the way the heli behaves very good even at slower headspeed, I’ll upload soon a video about it, please stay tuned!

What is the tail gear ratio?

[@pescante2711]

Tail is very responsive on this heli, the ratio is 4.0

[@josericoleon3378]

Hola, Pitch, 12+ 12-?

[@pescante2711]

Yes, +-12 is enough for 3D flight

Hola, Bec, 6,1v. 7,4v?

Hi Luca. Is this a 400, 420, 450 or a 470 size?

[@tom.beckert_rc]

380 size, so 380mm blades

[@pescante2711]

Thanks Tom for replying, blade size is 380 mm, so it qualifies as a 470 class heli

[@Airbrushkid]

@@pescante2711 Why do they size them that way? The 550 use 550m m blades, 600 uses 600mm blades, 650 uses 650mm blades, 700 uses 700mm blades, 760 uses 760mm blades and the 800 uses 800mm blades. But when it comes to smaller heli's the mess it up. Start with 450 it uses smaller blades that don't match the size they calling the heli! 450 uses 325m m and 360mm blades. 470 uses 380mm blades, 500 uses 470mm blades. These should be on the 470 size heli. It's a mess and I don't understand how they can play the sizing game. When other companies use the correct size blades to the size of the heli!. So the TB40 uses 380mm blades so it should be a 380 size heli!!!

@@tom.beckert_rc By Align standards your wrong.

[@JustPlaneChris]

@@AirbrushkidI completely agree. Align’s naming conventions have confused many people over the years. It’s well past time they started using names that match blade size, or just call it by a non-number name!
