*TR 42-40A 1050kv 35A Brushless Outrunner (hobby city)
* Pentium 40 opto 40a ESC by Hobby Wing
* UBEC
* 2200mAh 20c x2 in parallel by "Y harness
* swings a 10-6 S-2 series
* latch system for fuel/battery compartment
* cooling intake on top of fuel compartment door
* exaust port on lower right of fuel compartment to carry heat off.

You can use a single battery to fly. It yeilds about 7 minuets of flight without excessive heat on the battery. I run two batteries to pull less heat and I can grab 10 minuets of flight time. In my opinion, it flys better with a .40 gasser on it with more vertical authority. As an electric, it still flys decient though. I plan on putting a 4 blade 10-6 prop on it next week, but I hope it don't cause heat with the batteries.
