Default RE: UCD .46 conversion completed

ORIGINAL: Dynodan

Congratulations, you now have an engine that costs over $500.
Actually my costs are Mega 22/30/2 cost me $100.00, the MEC superbox cost me $40.00 and the 14 cell pack cost me $63.00. So the "Engine" cost me $203.00. The Lithium 4S4P I got second hand for $200.00 So All up is $400.00 counting the lithiums that I can use over and over again in all three of my conversions. Now you figure your cost on a motor that will give near 2:1 thrust to weight (cause a .46 isnt going to do it) and the fuel that you will spend over the year in putting an average of 5-6 flights every weekend. Congratulations...you have spent more than me
