Since May, I’ve been flying my Sequence with the stock setup on the Rimfire motor.
After trying a number of props to get the performance I’ve wanted I came to the conclusion that If I’m going to successfully compete with the 2 meter ships that I would have to convert over to a 8s set up.
While I could perform all the required maneuvers with the stock setup I couldn’t maintain speed on tall vertical maneuvers.
A couple of weeks ago I completed converting my Sequence over to a 8s setup.
I’m running a 295 KV Tacon 110 on 4000 mah batteries with a Graupner 18X10 prop. I am very pleased with this setup.
Currently I’ll pulling 71 amps at takeoff and pull at most 65 amps during the maneuvers.
I’m consuming between 2.3 to 2.45 amps running though the intermediate pattern.
I do want to try some different props as I have about 15 amps more I could comfortably extract from this system.
