RE: Electric 1/4 Scale Tigermoth
FWIW, my 1/4 scale Moth has probably about the most realistic flying speed of any large Moth that I've seen. So many people seem to overpower them with huge IC engines and fly them round like pylon racers! At 1500 Watts, mine IS overpowered, BUT I normally take off at roughly 1/2 throttle and it will cruise around for ages at around 1/3 throttle. The extra power is required for my aerobatic attempts, however, and also comes in very handy for a last minute go-around. Mike - that 1700W system sounds like the right one for the model, but I would doubt the wisdom of using Lipo's in it. It think you'll find you'll need lead to balance if you use them, which is why mine flies on Nicads.
