NATS Equipment

[Jason]

The 3 electric set-up's were as follows:

Motors- Hacker Brushless C-50 14XL 6.7:1 Acro
Controllers- Jerry and I used the new Master-90-Acro and Marty used the
Master-77-O-F
Prop- APC-E 22x12
Batteries- Thunder Power 6000, 10 Series 3 Parallel

Jerry flew Tony's Partner, Marty flew a Focus 2 and I flew the new
Composite-ARF Impact. I never did get to see Marty's plane fly, but it
appeared that Jerry's Partner flew slower than my Impact.

    Jason was asked if he had enough power toward the end of his flights, he
said he has more power at the end than in the beginning, attributes it to
warmer batteries. He runs the motor at part throttle as soon as he is on the
clock and lets it run until his caller puts in on the ground, I assume to
get things warm before taking off.

    The three electric pattern planes were all running similar motors and
batteries. One thing I found interesting is the planes are not any quieter
than the good gas setups. Quiqui was running a 4 blade prop on his DZ and it
was very quiet. I don't know the diameter or pitch, but he was not hurting
for pulling power.

      Eric Henderson collected data from as many contestants who filled it
      out for him. He will post it with his Nats coverage.

      There were three electric airplanes flown: Jason Shulman (1st F3A),
      Jerry Budd (2nd Master) and Marty Matthews (~30th Master).
      All had plenty of power.
