[NSRCA-discussion] Alabama Bound

[Dave Burton]

I think that's chasing tail also. You can prop a motor to produce almost any
wattage you want (within limits). Who's going to monitor what wattage is
pulled after every prop change.  Are all electric planes going to be checked
at every contest and throughout the event? That sounds like a lot of fun for
a CD.

Rule of KISS needed!

Well, I think the 1400 watts (or whatever wattage) is a good start.

Hi, Dave,

Yes, I know that -- I have told our BOD we will be chasing our tails for as
long as we permit electrics, but most of the BOD is wanting to embrace the
"new technology" for power...as motors improve and batteries get stronger,
things will change.  BTW, the 6s lipo is not part of the current proposal --
we are trying to do something different on the battery side.  I will be glad
to let you know what we finally do, if you are interested...
