RE: Hyperion SU 31 Build Suggestions
Jared, I use 2 2100mAh 11.1v 3s lipo's hooked in paralell on my Sukhoi 31 and it works fine. I find it a lot cheaper to do it that way as I use the 2100mAh 11.1v 3s lipos in a number of my other planes.
Since Hobby City doesn't list the Turnigy Motors vital stats, I can't run it on the Motor Calc to see how many Amps your set-up will draw with the 12x6 prop and 40A ESC.
Jared, does the Turnigy Plush 40A ESC have a SBEC? and if so how many Amps does it support. Most ESC's w/SBEc's are 3 to 3.5 Amps. which is enough to even run it on 4s Batterys. I don't run my 3s batterys on the linear BEC of a ESC anymore. I lost 1 airplane doing so. I now use a ESC w/SBEC or a seperate SBEC. (SBEC) Switching Battery Elimination Circuit.
