Default RE: World Models 42% Ultimate Biplane

Wow, I mean WOW Greg,
That was a pretty impressive power output for the motor and current for the ESC.
Congratulations!

I felt like I was right there with you as I watched the video. Each time the workbench started to tip,
I about jumped out of my seat.
Perhaps some sort of rope/cable attached to the top of the workbench and
back to something like a vehicle inside the garrage would keep the bench from from tipping.

10.8 kW is a little bit surprising. Using a shorter prop might be something to try. I'm wondering
if the RPMs are sufficient to pull your bi-plane around at a reasonable speed with the 30 x 10 ? Especially if you go to
11S.

I'm also wondering how a 90 degree day in the summer will effect your maximums.
I bet the motor and ESC barely broke a sweat on Sunday.

More tests, pics, and videos please.
Best Wishes for more of those impressive results.
