I am thinking of buying a Multiplex Mini Mag. I am currently learning to fly a WordStar 40 trainer. I would like to get an electric plane which has similar flying style i.e. has Aileron / Elevator / Rutter control / Landing gear. I have also read the existing motor is not powerful enough to take off so I was going to get a brushless motor.

I have heard the Mini Mag is a robust plane. I would like to buy components that can be used in future Electric Planes when I upgrade. I intent to stay similar size to the Mini Mag.

I was going to purchase the following gear,


Speed Controller Titan 30A
Motor Brushless Hyperion 22 /13
Prop 8/6 or 9/6
Servos Hitech HS55 x 3

Batteries I was not sure

Hyperion 20C-30C

LVX-1500 3S 30A 78gr 100mmx32mmx14mm
Or
LVX-1800 3S 36A 142gr 103mmx33mmx23mm
Or
LVX-2200 3S 44A 172gr 110mmx36mmx25mm

How much flight time would I get approx out of a 1500mA am I better to buy 2 x 1500 instead of a bigger battery? Is the 1800 or 2200 to heavy for the mini mag?

Do you need a battery with 20C-30C discharge I have notice 12 or 18 C discharge is much cheaper?

I have a Hitech optic 6 radio.


Any comment would be much appreciated

Cheers
