Looks like there would need to be a rule change to run 12s in an AMA class.  Current rule says "Electrically-powered model aircraft are limited to a maximum of 42.56 volts..."Jeff Worsham  From: NSRCA-discussion [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces at lists.nsrca.org] On Behalf Of Bill Pritchett via NSRCA-discussion

Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] 12S for F3A I think a source of universal pride among the pattern community is the positive ripple effect that development of our gear over the years has provided the entire model aviation community.  This discussion is simply about the continued development of a power system...the evolution of electric power.  I don't think this would have any significant real or implied effect on any AMA class.  On the other hand, those that choose to try something new no doubt will - that's how it's always worked.  How many folks in AMA classes fly YS-185s?  That's a choice available to all of us right now.....  Our 10S setup is great and should/will continue to be the standard for a long, long time - yet not a reason to stifle development.BillFrom: Andrew Jesky via NSRCA-discussion <nsrca-discussion at lists.nsrca.org>

Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] 12S for F3A By changing the KV to spin the same prop at the same rpm as the 10 cell setup there isn't much that changes in the feel. I have hundreds of flights on the 12s setup, and the power output is no different as well as the torque. Heck if anyone wants to try the 12 cell setup and has there model setup for a Q80xs let me know. I'd be more than happy to let you see what you think.  Andrew    Sent from my iPhone
