<p class=MsoNormal>Is anyone aware of an RC club that has implemented a
solar powered charging station for electric fliers ? My club has
strongly supported the concept, voted to approve funds, and I would like to
get hard data and experience from others on several system
items. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Two of our electric fliers/engineers have designed
what they believe will be a scalable system, borrowing from
their experience in powering wireless base stations and other similar
applications. I wanted to compare their numbers to any hard
experience from RC users.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>We lack good data on typical use per pilot. Our club is
not all that Pattern heavy, but does have many electric fliers using
3s-4s packs in say the sub 4000 Mah size. For the most part, these systems
power planes typically smaller than 40 size. Were I to guess,
Eflite 480 size may be .typical or say average size plane.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Any data and experience would be appreciated.

<p class=MsoNormal>a) the number of anticipated electric
pilots and expected average weekly capacity used
per pilot from existing solar powered systems <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>b) the size & type of the battery (deep
cycle) used to store power - e.g. number of Mah and type - wet
cell, gel cell or AGM, and the typical max discharge % anticipated; <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>c) - the recharge time (days or hours) to recharge the
storage battery from normal max use drawdown; <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>d) the number and size of the solar panels used; and
power output (amps) at say 16-17v range<o:p></o:p></p>
