Default RE: Hell Raiser First Flight

No that is too heavy. It has taken me a while to get used to this electric stuff, but remember that the power comes from the battery, not the motor. The reason Mike recommends the AXI is it is very efficinet at generating 20 oz of thrust with a 830 3s lipo and keeps the model light.

It seems like at every weight class, I end up with a different solution to the battery / motor / prop issue. You do not want to build a heavy Hell Raiser, it doesn't have the structure to go above 14oz, and you will loose a lot of performance.
