      Windy day @Manyc ! Still better to be flying in the wind than looking at it through an office window!

      Yep you know it's windy when a 700 with packs tries to slide off the table...

      Was a good day over all. Nice to catch up with the guys at free stylers...

      Also performed a very ugly but recognisable 4 point tic toc.

      It is really impossible to compare unless you blot one motor after another into the same frame, with the same speedy and pilot (IMHO)

      Yes your right @simon, alot of subjectiveness for sure... but it was fun doing it! Both motors were stupid powerful, but the xnova seemed not to struggle as much when loaded for long periods, and the KDE seemed to have more initial kick but could not keep enduring the load. @Manyc had 45C packs vs 60C packs of the same brand i think.

      The Xnovas generally come down a lot cooler too :) Good to see more guys putting the Xnovas through their paces. There are a lot of people skeptical about new things and weary of trying until proven ;)

      could be the pinion (all things are not equal) a flawed experiment, albeit fun to do!

      Hah ha ha @simon the Icy water would have been a good call for sure!.. Maybe next time we should make it the Ice Bourbon skull challenge - after we finish!. I wanted to put my 450 in between the two 570s to see how it compared but no one could take the vid then because we needed a spotter.
