Rusty, very nice build thread. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. A real pretty Ultimate, ready to maiden. Also, I was impressed with the Flying Giants web site, cool.
I have been using lipos in my 50cc gassers for a year and a half, with absolutely no problems. I'm presently using a 1320 mah & a 1900 mah (redundant) on the rx, and a 1320 mah on the ignition. I get 6 flights on them, & at the end the rx batts are still at 7.8 v, & the ign batt is at 7.6v. I guess I could stretch them a couple more flights, but I'm happy with my routine.
I think you'll be happy with your Ultimate @ 16.7 lbs. It should be real solid, with plenty of power. Looking forward to the flight report.
Thanks mate,
The maiden is done now and everything went well. It was a little tail heavy where I set the CG so I've moved some stuff around and it is getting better. I'm just getting it dialled in now. Check out the build thread for the flight report and pics.
