Electric F3A

[John Ferrell]

You are getting through to me...
Dan Landis was using a Glow prop on his Brio at the Nats. That helps me to better understand the power requirements.

Other than buy & try, is there a way to determine what kind of battery requirements might be required to drive an APC 15-12 at about 8200 rpm? I had in mind the same AXI 5330/18 motor that Landis used.

Another way to ask my question is "what does it take to replace a YS140?

  Looks like I'm going to have to liven this bunch up AGAIN. I flew each of the last three days with temperatures 100 degrees. No problens. 12 min flights, about 60% capacity. You are missing some superior performance.

   I have to carry a can of oil around to have something greasy to wipe my hands with.                Nat Penton
