RE: Flight Duration Question

The ESC I'm looking to use is a plush 40 amp. It has a BEC rated at 5v/3a. The plane will weight approx. 4.5-5 lbs. I fly sports-like, not 3-D.

Thanks - JPR72C

RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85

Gas - 11.25%

RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Here is another formula that I use that gives a good mix. I use it since the 12/20 is a very common nitro car fuel:

1 part 12/20 nitro

3 parts gas

this yields a 2.4%...

RE: Hit a "JackPot"
