A world-class F3A pattern plane draws over 90 amps on the pull up vertical maneuvers with a 10S voltage.

Correct

Absolutely false! Again Greg, where are you getting this information??? My Focus, RIP, with a AXI 5330/F3A and TP 6000 batteries in a 10S would climb out of sight vertically at about 40 amps!!! My wot current draw with the 20x13 prop was about 65 amps... I would fly the verticals in the sequence at roughly 60-70% stick... when you take into consideration the throttle curve... my draw was around 40 amps for most verticals... never any more unless I was showing off. In fact, I test flew another Focus a couple weeks ago. The power was outragous and the verticals (accellerating go up mind you) were done at less than half stick WITH a curve. Actual power was probably a bit less than 40 amps as the plane was lighter than mine.


I don't believe you give me more relevant information to substantiate this claim
