Kyle Dahl does 4000 HS on a 3S ... but I bet his battery life is shite !!

To be honest for most people even the 3S is more than enough ... going 4S indicates to me some serious 3D / other ...

I have trouble getting the canopy over the 3s packs in my 450's. I don't think I'll ever go 4s. However I do understand a 450 runs more efficient on 4s. The extra weight is also a big factor.

What packs are you running if having trouble with a 3S in canopy ? Unless you have a small canopy ?

Even the larger standard Turnigy and GE power 3S 2100 / 2280's I have go under ok. And thats on the top angled small tray.

I may try a 4S later - just to see what happens ..... that's if I can get back to not crashing the 450 after so long a time not flying her. the other thing of course is motor - whether the standard ~3500 ish kv is suitable for general sport with a 4S ?

Arrrrrrrr ... I had trouble with supposed straight copies of Align V2 canopies ... the post holes were too far forward - I had to drill two others about 5mm behind ... so that I didn't foul the skids and bottom frame plate.
My original clone canopy was actually a few mm longer in the nose and I never noticed.
