Default RE: Space Shuttle Depron RC Model - Scratch..

I still have a lot of work to do but just for the heck of it I checked what I was pulling for watts after wireing up the ESC and reciever to center my servos.

With the 70mm Typhoon Brushless EDF 2W-20-75A Drive Set that I got from EJF.com and using a Hyperion 4S 2200 45C Lipo, charged to 80%, I got a static test of 874 Watts according to my Watts up meter.

I forget the watts to lbs formula but it doesn't seem like power will be a problem. The only problem I see is my thumbs!

I still have to glue the elevon servos in place now that they are centered. Install the nose gear guts then layout the ESC, reciever and Battery in the inside of the body while checking the CG. Then check my throws. After all that will come the paint and decals.
