Default RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Well Mr. DJ,
I just ran the 160 to check amp draw for our friends at Castle. It took two hands to hold the plane down at full throttle. The 160 and 20-08 prop were amazing...at least for a few seconds. It will take two people to hold the plane back with both engines going at full speed. That big motor your thinking about might be overkill...not to mention the extra weight it would bring. The the one Eflite 160 engine drew 72 amps, 42 volts, and created 2676 watts according to my E-meter. Impressive I think, but won't know how impressive until the plane flies.

Just thoughts,

Jim
