| Static motor parameters | 3S Kokam 3S1P 15C 1250mAh pack gave 15.6A @ 10.2V (159W) and 7620 rpm. This equates to an input power of ~150W/lb. | |
| Flight performance | The flying is a little strange, possibly due to the flat sided fuselage with any side-slip. The vertical performance is excellent and almost any manouevre is possible due to the large control movements. I haven't tried 3D yet but plan to shortly. | |
14 Jun 09 - Another wonderful sunny day with little wind; ideal for testing new models.
13 Jun 09 - I bought this a while ago at a BEFA Technical Workshop. I intended to use a variable pitch propeller and had it almost ready to fly. However, during the motor test the propeller self-destructed damaging the nose of the plane. I put it to one side as I haf other things to do and only just got around to completing it; I also had to shorten the nose to get the stated CofG position.
