Default RE: Electric power system for my Cub

Roger,

The chord is 12", so wing area is about 960 to 1000 square inches. I agree the cheapest price isn't always the best choice. I'm looking to be able to fly off water, so something about 1500 to 2000 watts is likely needed. I'd like to use two 3s lipos for 6s (22 volts) so 90 amps may be required, and that is too high for me to be satisfied with. May have to step up to 8s batteries are needed? I'd hate to spend the money and noot be able to fly it the way I want to.
