RE: FLITON EDGE 540 FREESTYLE they did it again
Reno - My Extra 330 has been sitting in the hobby room for over 6 month now. I bought the AXI 4130/16 with a TMM 7524-3s ESC and I went to get some China made lipos, DualSky XPower 3S2P (x2 per flight pack) 4,500 mAh 12C. I did not get it into the Extra but tested it out finally on a WM Super Chipmunk. The batteries s*cks! It will not heat up but they are not able to hold 3.1V per cell at anything past 85% throttle. I am running on an APC 16x8E only.
The Super Chipmunk has more than enough to fly scale and aerobatic. That is a 8.25 lbs plane ... the AXI will be perfect for the Flitons. I think I got about no less than 900W on that motor. I will be getting a set of Flight Power batteries as I will be distributing them here. I love Flitons and would love to be a real show off having the Extra and Edge at the field, hehehehe ...
As for cost its about as follows:
Motor - USD135
ESC - USD190
Batts - USD90/pack
Radial mount - USD20
Aluminium stand off mounts - home made
