[NSRCA-discussion] weight difference

[Dave]

Mike,

 

No problem.  Still can't give you a number without knowing the exact
electric setup.  And just advising that even with the same airframe, there
are potentially a lot of additions items that can account for a substantial
difference in weight.

 

Dave

Thanks Dave, I am referring only to the power packages,not the planes. Those
are what I am looking for, the difference between glow and electric.

12 oz +/-4 oz.

 

Exact number depends on a bunch of things - 

- on the electric side, which motor, motor mounting, ESC, lipo, RX power
system?

- was the plane originally built lighter for electric, or with more beef for
glow?

- CDI / non CDI, type of mount, and what type of ignition and RX power?

 

I can tell you that a number of Prestige planes have been built with various
glow and electric power plants.  For the most part, the glow airframes are
+4 oz to start with (the added beef for glow vibration).  Most of the glow
setups ended up at 9.5 lbs, +/- 4 oz.  Most of the electrics ended up at
10.25 lbs, +/- 4 oz.

 

Regards,

 

Dave

Could someone tell me the difference in weight between say a YS 1.7 with
muffler/tank,etc vs electric?

Thanks
