[NSRCA-discussion] DC Area Clubs

[Arch Stafford]

Our biggest challenge with going electric is getting the duration required.
I need to get between 4-6 hours total flight time.  I can carry a gallon of
fuel and get it with the YS at cruising RPM, not to mention this eventually
will be used in the field.  Maintenance as well as other issues could help
shoot down the electric idea as well,

Arch

That is actually in the works.  We have a total of 6 prototypes to build.  I
picked the YS because of fuel delivery, and actually fairly low fuel draw at
low throttle settings.  It cruises at about 4000RPM and it sips fuel at that
RPM.  There will be at least one more with YS, then one or two with
electric, one with a DA-50, and then still playing with other motors.  Long
term goal in production is a diesel engine, but unfortunately not many or
any diesels in the HP range with reasonable weight.
