Default RE: World Models 42% Ultimate Biplane

Tom,

The only way Dean's Ultra connectors might work here is if you used an entire connector per side; one for red and one for white. I only use Dean's Ultra connectors on applications that might peak to 100 amps.

I ordered 8mm bullet connectors from both XPS and Hobby King. To my surprise, the ones from HK were much larger. Further, you get a whole bag of 12 sets for $15. I plan to use these on all ESC connections. For battery pack connections, I plan to use the Castle Creations 6.5mm connectors which can handle 200amps. These 6.5mm connections will be paralleled (12s3p) going to the 8mm bullets.

I made some measurements on the Turnigy CA120-70 motor and they did not match up to the DA-150. I posted images of the DA150 engine with the CA120-70 measurements added in parenthesis. We will likely make our own jig for prop drilling unless I can find one. To answer your question about drilling props, we use a drill press and a jig.

The statement about "running all day" meant that the current was within the continuous specs on all components. The actual runtime is determined by your pack capacity.
