Default RE: Aurora 60 Build Thread - Electric Power

Sorry if i'm not making myself clear ! That was not the intention. Flying outrunners demonstrates the peculiar phenomenon that the motor allways gives good performance on a plane that has a weight exactly 10 times the weight of the motor !

Example : Typical shock flyer and AXI 2204 54. Motor is 20 gramme and shockflyer is 200 gram including two 640 lipo cells. Gives good performance.
Flitons "Rogue" and AXI 2808. Motor is 76 gramme and the plane is ca 750 gramme with 3s 2100 cells. Also gives good performance
My own "Elaine" ( Search the electric pattern threads ) Cocaine with 553 gramme of Hyperion 4045 14 and 5400 gramme of model with 10 s Hyperion 5000 cells. Also has very good power. Funny, right ?

You should be able to put a much smaller motor, and benefit from the lower overall weight, on your Aurora. Something around 400 gramme would be fine !
