What is a good model for these bits. Must be extreme performance!
Heres what I've got?
1 x 1500 3 cell LiPo
2 x 600mah 2 cell LiPo
Small LiPo speed controller for a brushed motor?
Naff brushed motor and gearbox (Standard Ikarus Shock Flyer - Will Prop hang for about 2 mins with the 600mah packs)
4 x 9g servos
Lightweight rx
Not fussed what I go for as long as it is extreme - could be bigger than a Shock flyer . Would prefer to use the 1500 pack instead od the 600s. Should I go brushless? If so which motor and controller? what do you do about a BEC when using lithiums. I'm worried about over discharging them.
Which aeroplane???????
Many thanks

RE: What is a good model for these bits. Must be extreme performance!
my friend made a 36" ( i think it was 36) yak and extra from depron and used a gws 350c d gearing with an 11x4.7 prop with a 3 cell 1500 lipo, it flew really nice
the 3 cell will burn out the 350c motor, you need D gearing and an 11x4.7 prop or smaller to keep the amps down, you also need to use good throttle management and keep away from full throttle for more then a few seconds..the motor will still not last as long on this setup vs a 2 cell, but the motors are only $12 to replace
if you dont mind spending money id get a brushless with a gearbox

Alex -
Thanks for the links. I'm gonna order one first thing in the morning if I can find stock in the UK. Have decided to go for a axi 2212/34 and a jeti 18-3p
Cheers

neil, if you got that motor, get a FFM extra, 15 quid for the plans. apparently their as good flyers as the 1/3 scale stuff. just build the 36" one.
