Default RE: Hangar 9 33% Edge 540

OK,

Got my interest...

If I do this:

Use two of my 9S1P packs 2600 mAh, each one is 17 ounces roughly... for a total of 34 ounces of battery weight. - saves 88.5 - 34 = 54.5 ounces (1.75 ounce per cell times 18 cells, plus connectors)
Use one 8411 per aileron instead of two saves two ounces per side, plus some hardware is three ounces for a wing weight of 34 ounces each
One 8411 on pull-pull elevator for a two ounces saving plus some hardware, maybe three ounces,

and a total weight of:

160 ounces fuse
34 *2 wings
32 battery

equals 260 ounces... Is this realistic?

Dump the power force regulator, switch to something a little bit lighter...

If so, I am happy with two HD aileron servos on a 16 pound airplane, and one elevator servo.

I can use around 2000 watts from my power system on the Actro motor (72 Amps draw burst from the 2600 in parallell) which yields 120+ watts per pound...

Am I missing something. If not, I am in for a new machine too..
