Batteries are heavy the 10S 6400 packs weighs 72 oz that''''''''s 4.5 lbs of weight.
I think a well done 54 class turbine conversion will weigh less especially at the critical time............. landing
I agree...
This plane done with P-60 is still lighter than E-power.
But for me had both going. If I like doing turbine. I just put in the turbine. If I don''''t like get my hand smell like kero. Drop in the electric power plant.
The nice things about this is the size.
I hate the way it mount the wing. Take too long gettting assemble at the field. I saw friend spend extra 45min to assemble and take apart the wing with his bandit.
I refer had it one piece throw in the back of my truck. You can''''t do with the bandit.
tam with this open construction the wing is simple to take out
i also did NOT cut the bottom hatch , i can undo them from above.
this means also the costruction is better and rigid.
and i dint like it on the old bandit arf eather , toulk me 30 minutes to put on thw wigns and close the hatch
and i agree it is very light , i left a lot of stuff out , and changed them for other things.
i have now 2 x 8411 on the elevators (overkill but safe)
i used a hitec compatible 81 on the rudder
2 x jr8311 on the flaps
and 2 x jr3401 on the ailerons.
i use a emcotec BIC of the powersystem.
and will use the lightest thrustpipe there is that will be a Wren pipe made for the SS.
i will use 2 x 1800 mah for the rx (gives me more then 2 hours flighttime)
and a 20C 2200 for the turbine (gives me about 6 starts)
