Plane Recommendation Needed - Help
Hi everyone,
I am new with Electric Planes but have flown power planes, helicopters and gliders. I am also heavy into RC off road electric cars. I would like to stick with electric planes that can use 6 or 7 sub C cells so that I can interchange my batteries and use my high end 3000 nimh batteries between my car and electric plane.
Does anyone have any good recommendation on a kit that is fully aerobatic that I can use my battery packs? All recommendations are welcome.
Thanks,
CV

Sounds like you need a Corona Helicopter...like I mentioned in your other thread. It fits your needs pretty well. It uses a race car motor and 7-cell 2400. A lot of people also use 7-cell 3000s.

The truth is there are not many electric airplanes that will fly of your 6 and 7 cell sub C packs. The car packs are usually just too heavy. Most electric planes need more cells. Gary Wright makes a direct drive buggy motor airplane that runs on 6 cell packs but I am not sure what kind of packs you have or if they would be suitable. I believe his setup draws around 40 amps. You could email him. Have a look at his web site. www.gwmp.net Look on the menu under Kwik-E. Its a very fast airplane.
