Chuck, it's a Turnigy G-46, not a G-60.

Being a newbie, I don't know anything about E-Calc, but here is what I do know. The Kadet Senior should come to about 6.5 pounds, span 78", has 1150 sq in wing area. Maybe about 13.oz per sq foot ? ? ? Using a 4s, 4000 mah pack ( 14.8v ), together with the G-46, 420 KV motor, swinging a 15 X 8 prop. Spekie AR 7000 Rx, 3 standard 48oz servos, one 72 oz digital servo, 70 A ESC, and a 10 A UBEC. I have been told that a big prop is more efficient for a slow flier, and needs a low KV motor ? ? ? I don't know how true this is ? ? ? No 3D Planned here, just slow precision flight.

Do you have any idea on what my flight time might be ? Does your E-Calc tell you that ?

Thanks Chuck.
