Lots of great information to be had there. <BR><BR>> Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 17:30:52 -0500<BR>> From: glmiller3@suddenlink.net<BR>> To: aabdu@sbcglobal.net; nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Electric pattern recommended equipment<BR>> <BR>> Anthony,<BR>> <BR>> I've used the Axi 5330 F3A and the Dualsky 11T with very good results from both. I think the AXI is a little stronger, but both are plenty powerful. I usually run them with a 20X15 APC prop. The CC85 and Jeti 99 spin controllers are both very good and reliable. I prefer the Spin's myself, but I've used both. <BR>> <BR>> For batteries, I prefer the Flightpower 5350 F3A packs....these have more capacity for their weight than the higher discharge capacity packs - You don't need the "C" rating, you need the "mah" rating- my perspective anyway. The True battery 5000 ma packs are OK for practice, but their availablity is spotty and they seem to have differing dimensions between different "lots". <BR>> <BR>> There is a new website the has been started to collate various electric combo's-- I'm sure someone here will give the url shortly.<BR>> <BR>> G<BR>> ---- Anthony Abdullah <aabdu@sbcglobal.net> wrote: <BR>> <BR>> =============<BR>> Hello everyone,<BR>> 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. <BR>> <BR>> 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. <BR>> <BR>> Requirements:<BR>> 1. I do not want to use a gear box so I will need a motor capable of direct drive<BR>> 2. I want equipment where the components will all work well together <BR>> 3. weight is always an issue<BR>> 4. price is a consideration but third behind reliability and performance<BR>> <BR>> 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. <BR>> <BR>> Thanks in advance<BR>> Anthony <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>> NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion<BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>> NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion<BR><BR><br /><hr />Get more out of the Web.
