Electric Fanatics:

I am in the process of building and converting Hangar 9 Extra 260.
This forum was started to share ideas among fellow electric fanatics and to inform would be future electics fans.
I will skip ARF assembly to Glow Threads and focus on Electric Hardware install and flying (later)


I chose this airfame for two reasons.

1. long hatch for easy battery access.
2. successfully flying funtana 90 conversion.
3. lured into it by advertized weight of 11.5lb on low side

Hmmm that is 3 reasons.


The airframe is built with servos installed ( pull-pull ) with no mount yet. It is about 8lb.
It has 4 Hitec 5625MG and 1 5955TG servos
I am going with Axi 5330/18 with 9s setup and Jeti advance 90amp controller.
Because I'll be flying 9S pack instead of 10s for ease of parallel charging and pack use in multiple planes ( H9 Super Cub, Funtana 90, Pacific Aero Edge 540/90. GP Little Toni, GP UCanDo 30 60 ).

My expected power input is about 3500W for a flying weight of 14lb for 9S4p and 13lb for 9s3p. Initial motor test will be performed with 22x12E prop and adjust according to Whatt meter to have a full throttle amps of 95-100.


I will be going with Espritmodel's Aluminum mount for the motor attachment.

Here is the pic of little brother to Axi 5330/18 which is 5320/28 in Funtana 90 with 9s2p 15c 2000mah cells with 19x8e prop.
