[NSRCA-discussion] Electric Pattern

[John Ferrell]

I am not picking on Incheon here, the questions are to all:

I too, am struggling to understand how to select appropriate power for a given airplane.

The specs for the ElectriFly 110 call for up to a 15 pound airplane, It sounds like a lot of Watts for an 8 pounder.
A Phoenix 80 controller also sounds like a lot of over kill. Can I assume that the electrics can just be run at a lower power setting and less batteries without overburdening the airframe?

Which AXI would be interchangeable with the Electrifly 110? 

Would the Dualsky XM5060CA be an equivalent? The advertising indicates 1:1 correspondence to a YS 110.

Is the following comment True or False?
It seems that an over spec motor and speed control are only a financial mistake. Flying at reduced power levels is not a technical flaw and in fact may provide a more reliable power setup.

  Jay,

  Lots of power setups available.  It all depends on how much you want to put in.

  Hacker A50,  E-Flite 110, Axi,  BPHobbies,  Welgard, Dualsky, Neu, Hyperion, etc.

  For a reasonable price, E-Flite seems to be a good choice with Castle Phx 80 or E-Flite 60 may also work.  I went with E-Flite 110 for Inspire 90 because I couldn't install the YS110 on it.  
  Hacker, Axi are very good, but I was told these make a little noise during the run.  Not sure what that noise is.  
  Hyperion runs really good too.
  I can look up if I have spec on Focus 110.
