I was just on the horizon web site and noticed they have a new pattern plane looks pretty coll. They recommend the eflite 32 for extreme aerobatic power.

It was a nice surprise when I stumbled onto this plane myself. I currently have a BRIO and would like something slightly larger. My only concern is the battery it calls for. If the instructions are correct the battery cost for a 4s2p 4200 would be $160.00
I don't see how it would take that much battery. The Extreme Flight Yak 47" which is approx. the same size airplane calls for a 4s1p 2150. That would be on the large end power wise and that battery is only $85.00

Keep this thread going. It could be exciting.

Mike

Believe me, it will. I'm flying an Ultra Stick 25E with a Power 32 and the 3 cell 4200 pack. If I run it hard I get about 12 minutes. Performance is really good, but as soon as I get ahead a few dollars, I'm, going with the 4 cell packs so it will have brutal power. The Daimante is a little heavier than the Ultra Stick 25E, so if you want the thing to perform, I think the 3 cell pack is going to be necesary. If you want run time, you're going to need at least 4200 capacity.

When you get this large in electric airplanes, it starts to get stupid with the battery costs. I'm puitting together a Pulse XT with a Power 46 electric motor, and the batteries are going to be $300 each!

I tell you guys I have a ultra stick 25e also and at first I was concerned about the cost of batteries. Then I found out about perfect balance from skysharkrc.com I am currently using the 3s1p4000 10c and it is doing great. I have the 25 with a 12 x 6e apc 60amp speed. I also have been looking at the diamante , I first bought the 32 for my stick then found better performance with the 25 on a three cell. Therefore I also believe it would need the four cell with the 32 like they call for. Hope this info will help you out. They have now come out with some 15c batteries that would work in the pulsext. Happy flying

A 4S1P is the way to go on this plane. 2500 to 3700ma cells like polyquest or hyperion lvx 9/11 minute flights.
620 to 750 watts on 4s
here is a link to a hyp 3700 pack that would work well http://www.allerc.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_4_93&products_id=2064

$168.00

at this point a TP 4s2p4200 pack is old school

TP extremes would be good too

Anyone have any flight time on this plane, Looking for the snaps and spins.. The SD8020 is a sailplane wing for slope work and usually hard to stall.. great looking plane saw it at the LHS.

I've got 6 flights on one. I'm using a Power 25 on 4S 4200 TP packs. DS-3124SA servos. The power is great and the flying characteristics are very good. BTW, it snaps and spins beautifully. I think the throws recommended are a little high, but the balance points seem good. This is a much better plane then the Brio 10 for pattern flying.

Mine arrived yesterday and jumped to the head of the line of models to be assembled. I'm thinking of using a AXI that I have on hand, a 2814. I do have a 2820 in an Utlra Stik 25E but the weather hasn't been good enough to go flying.

I went to the WRAMS Show today with a group of friends. Got a great deal on HS-85BB servos which are going into this plane. I hope to start it this weekend.

I flew mine yesterday once it flew really good. It has great power with e-flite 32. The control throws were a bit much for me I'll get some expo in it this weekend. The plane flies way better than my brio 10.

I have an Ultra Stick 25e powered AXI 2820/12, 12 X 6 prop Flightpower 3S 3700ma pack, I easily achieve 15 mins of aerobatic flight, even able to maintain an easy hover during the first 12 mins of flight.

I'm lusting after this airplane as kind of my transition into larger e-powered machines.
