Default RE: F-18 with EDF???

you know what- i completely missed your AUW of 43oz..i thought it was 29oz with batteries!

my bad.

i run the numbers not just from first principles but also in motocalc.

in summary i get this: for your setup

thrust:weight
46:43 static at WOT

32A..93 mph...quick!

3:41 flight time.

optimum level flight speed 45 mph, gives 46 minutes flight!...under half throttle.

nice...


this makes it a little easier to mix and match...standby....
