Default RE: SIG Kadet LT-40 Glow-To-Electric Trasnformation!

Hi Guys!

It seems like by adding another Cell Li-POLY (another 4.15 Volts off-the-charger), I have effectively increased the overall capability of this power system as I have increased the Watts by 174 Watts additional!

Thereby, as previously posted, the fully flight weight (worse case) was:

8lbs. - 2 3/4oz. "or" 8.17lbs.

So,......

8.17lbs. / 576 Watts = 70.48 Watts / lbs.

I have effectively increased the Watt per Pound up another 20 Watts/Lbs.

I am a true believer of HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEMS from now on for the larger Models!
