Status: offline 		Just wanted to know if anyone has experience flying a 4 engine model with the E-Flite E-10 motor.

My question is how much do the models weigh?

What would be the maximum weight of the model if you were flying a quad with the E-Flite E-10.

I am considering a 96" Profile scale B-29 and need to know if the E-10's would be enough power. I expect the model to weigh 12 lbs complete with batteries.

Thanks
Fred C.

So x 4, you would need packs capable of handling 1000+ amps. But you would be fine thrust, and I'd say decent scale looking speed.
