Default RE: 4S Practice Plane

Hi Frank,

The only downside to that power 32 is its weight. I used an 800kv Fury motor in my Vanquish but it is only 143g and happily spun a 12*8 putting out 700W. The batteries also might be a little heavy. I used 40c 2650mah 4s packs and was able to complete a full P/F sequence and usually one or two maneuvers in 6 or 7 minutes. I did fly in a little but my auw was a little over 3 lbs.

Too much going on to mess with practice planes now. I plan on ordering a ML400 after the Nats when all the other stuff settles.
