Default RE: Sportsman Aviation Paramount 52/70 3D ARF Conversion and Review

I did purchase the full Kontronik 600 set which comes with the Jaxx 55 ESC. Problem is the Jazz is likley to cutoff around 50amps or so which is too early for this setup. The Kontronik 600 motor can handle about 70-80 amps. To give more breathing room I used the Castle Creations Phoenix 80.

You could get by with a Phoenix 60 but for a couple extra bucks you can have some margin of safety here as my calculations (more on amp draw later) showed that I would be around 60 amps or so with the target propeller choices of 15" to 16". With the thunderpower 6000mah pack the most I really want to push is around 60 amps to be "nice" to the pack" and keep it within its maximum rated amp output range.
