Default RE: MY THOUGHTS ON GOING ELECTRIC

I don't think that many also realize that you don't have to go Lipo and you can keep the cost down.

Most systems propped at @40 amps max power, with the 3300's, can give you a solid 6-7 minute flight as long as you're not full out the whole time. When I watch and time the glow flyers, that is usually all they fly in a flight, but they seem to think 6-7 minutes is short.

I had an Ultra Stick .40, with an AXI 4120/18 on 16 3300's swinging an APC 13x10 prop: Full power for almost 5 minutes with a 1:1 power ratio; I could fly for almost 10 with throttle management, and the packs are only $100 each.

An easy and great flying conversion.
