Ballistic
Hi guys and gals:
I've built a 60 size Super Chipmunk (based on glow).
My LHS recommended using an elite 60 motor with a 100 amp ESC and a 6s 5000Mah battery pack.
Ready to fly weight is 8lb. /688 square in. wing area.
If my calculations are correct my motor/battery will produce 1443 watts.
1443 watts on an 8lb plane equates to 180 watts per pound.
Even at 80 percent efficiency I would get 144 watts per pound.
Am I way off on my figures?
It's my first electric so please be easy on me.
Tom
