Electric F3A

[Scott Anderson]

I'm also using the 5330/18 with a 18X12 E-apc prop, Dan Has switched to this prop and we are both using the CC HV 100 and HV 85 amp speed controllers... you won't see that type of rpm's.. I'm doing 6250 rpm wide open drawing 69 amps and doing 2200 watts..

  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
