RE: Hangar 9 - Extra 260 - Electric Conversion
OK!
After working all day to finish the battery box and change 3.5mm bullet ESC connectors to Feigao 4mm, it finally flew.
The flight time is about 10min with battery reserve ( landing voltage per 3cell pack was st 11.2v ). It will hover about 1/2 throttle and it has unlimited vertical. IMO it tracks much much better than my DA50 powered PW extra. It does awesome flat flat inverted spins and quite acceptable flat spins. The plane is too new to wring it out so more test will come.
I am waiting for better prop for this plane (22x10, 22x12) as 20x13 makes it too fast and not enough thrust. I also feel the need to build a louver in the cowl inlet to direct air to motor drum.
I have not so perfect maiden vidoe. Those who would like to see say "I"
