[NSRCA-discussion] Electric pattern recommended equipment

[Anthony Abdullah]

Hello everyone,
I have decided that my next pattern plane / build will be electric and I am doing my preliminary research before starting to buy equipment (motor, ESC, batteries, prop, E-motor mount) and could really use some help. 

My goal for my first foray into electrics is to put together proven reliable equipment that works and performs well as complimentary components. I don't know as much about electrics as I will need to, but I am sure that I will be learning a lot as I go along. My expectations are that I will be using a Lipo 10S pack of at least 5000 mah (will this be enough?). I have often seen that people use the Hacker C50 motors but also see a lot of other engines by other manufacturers. 

Requirements:
1. I do not want to use a gear box so I will need a motor capable of direct drive
2. I want equipment where the components will all work well together  
3. weight is always an issue
4. price is a consideration but third behind reliability and performance

I will be flying advanced with the new airplane which will be purpose built as an electric. If there is a website or other source of useful information on electrics, I would like that as well. 

Thanks in advance
Anthony
