RE: Black Magic- Electric
We have worked with Emory and John for the BM. It is a truly gorgeous airplane. John is flying the new Vampower Platinum Series 10S3700's (2 X 5S 3700) and the performance is great reported by John. One thing that does concern us is the capacity of the packs flown on very windy days. We are putting 3750 back into the packs. The temp after shutdown still only reads about 128 degrees which is fine.
In next week are the 5S5000 series which will provide 110 amps continuous. That is the pack that will be flown at the NATS.
The weight will still be fine and after the CG is set again the BM will fly even better. We did find that depropping a little help with forward speed in the wind.
