Alliance Electric ARF Set Up

[Nik Middleton]

Hi Ron,

Details as promised

Flying weight 	25 oz

Battery  		Sanyo 12v 1100maH Weight 8.6 oz

Speed controller  Jeti Jes350
RX			Jeti single conversion REX 5

Servos 		Topaz Submicro 9 0z Torque

Motor			Speed 480 (Manufacture Scorpio, IT)  Reduction Gear MP Jet 3.0 480

Prop			APC 10x7 (Electric)

As you can see the battery pack accounts for a lot of the weight.  There may
be better alternatives now.  Plane performed well, duration was the problem.
Hope this helps

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the comments. What motor controller, batteries are you
using.  Happen to know weight?
I'm thinking of a Hacker B20L 18 w gearbox.  This is my first
step into the electron world - I assume that Hacker is likely the
best at the moment - but I'm not sure how much better it may be
than others.   Feel free to reply private, or on list.

Thanks, Ron
