Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

About this product
HOBBYWING PLATINUM 260A HV SBEC V5 ESC
The Platinum V5 260A HV V5 provides constant speed control, ensuring an excellent flying experience without BEC. The innovative housing design, featuring additional windows on the sides and internal structure, enables highly effective heat dissipation. This allows the generated heat to be directly transported from the circuit board to the outside through the shortest path. This is particularly necessary because the integrated 32-bit processor enhances the RPM algorithm’s precision, thereby further strengthening the overall performance of the Platinum ESC (Electronic Speed Controller). The finely adjustable speed sensitivity ultimately allows every pilot to find a setting that suits them perfectly.
The ESC also incorporates Efficiency Optimization Technology with Synchronous Rectification (DEO: “Driving Efficiency Optimization” – Active Freewheeling), which brings several advantages at once:
- Faster throttle response, improved flight stability, and flexibility.
- Higher driving efficiency and longer battery life.
- Lower temperature increase of the ESC, ensuring reliability.
Features
- Efficient cooling through a sophisticated heat dissipation system with windows
- Supports multiple data protocols e.g. Mikado VBar System, Futaba S.BUS2, MSH Brain, and iKON
- Includes data recording accessible via the OTA module on the smartphone
- Multiple protection features
- 16 adjustable parameters, including 4 flight modes :-
– Fixed Wing
– Helicopter – External Governor
