Thanks Yes the Arrow was a perfect E-power subject. I use iron-on-paint (MonoKote).
The data log is posting 61A full T early in the flight with 19V (1169 W). Late if the flight I'm seeing about 55A
I can no longer fly full T all the time and I have a 4 flight average of 26A (446 W). The longest of the four flights was10 min. I don't keep charge records and don't recall ever pulling a battery below about 3.6V / cell. The Arrow and a scale airplane get used 5S pattern packs or twin 3S (6S). I should also mention that in the re-design I thinned the wing also.
I don't have very many photos of this build. but here's one of the wings before covering.
