Default RE: Electric Pattern

I am flying an Electric Eclipse (same fuse as the Fantasy) with the Hacker C50 14XL motor, Acro 90 ESC, TP 6000 5s3p Gen II Lite batteries and the APC 22-12e prop. I have almost unlimited vertical. The plane came in at 10# - 7oz. This is a great flying combo. I am sure the Fantasy would do well with a similar motor set-up. One word of caution, you need to direct the air flow over the batteries in hot ambient days. This weekend it was 95F. My maximum battery temperatures was 132F. My maximum motor temperature was 140F. Wide open throttle was 66 amps. I am going to modify my ducting to get more airflow over the motor and batteries. I would like to reduce the temperatures at least 5 to 10F. So far after some 20 flights, I have had no failures of the equipment.

Good luck on your project.
