In recent Model Airplane News ,Mark Rittinger has published plans for these airplanes. I am going to build one, not sure which one yet. I have some questions first as I have never had any luck with electrics. For battery power he shows 10 cells, this is 12 volts. Can Li po batteries be used here to save weight and give longer flight times. Also will an Astro 217 micro speed controller handle the load. I also have some Cirrus CS-30 bb Pro Mini servos will these be able to handle the flight loads for this type of airplane.
