RE: New to electrics...could use some feedback
You always have to consider your source.
We all know what we know based on:
* What we have done
* What others have told us
* What we have read
So a glider/electric pilot (me) has a different base of knowledge than a glow based pylon racer or a 3D parkflyer pilot. Our experience is different, our goals are different and therefore our answers may be different.
For example i may feel 75-90watts/pound for a sport plane is fine, but that pylon racer may feel that that is severely underpowered. The pylon racer may prefernarrow high speed props for best top end,but the 3Dpilot is probably more interested in wider slower set-ups for maximum thrust.
So if you ask us what we think is a good set-up we will all tell you, but our answers may differ by quite a lot.
