RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Racer,
I just took a look at the Suppo 2217-09 and it should work fine. My set-up has worked good from day one and the following may help you;
- Nitro A20-22L motor (924Kv / 6-15A / 18A burst) 200W outrunner
- 3S1P 1800mAh 15C
- 25A ESC
- 9 X 6 SF prop
- AR6100 Rx
- DX-7 Tx
Watt meter results with above set-up: 14.5A / 160W / 11V with just about 90w/lb.
The performance is just perfect for me as I tend to fly the Predator scale-like for the most part. It's also fun to fly it like a powered glider, high enough to become a speck (never a problem with the range of the AR6100 2.4) then motor off and thermal around for 10 min. or so......then do it again. With the prop size, I found that anything larger than a 9" will certainly invite lots of prop strikes on take-offs as well as landings. Let me know what you decide to do and photos are welcomed.
