RE: Badius Owners Club III
Mark I don't know how long it's been there but I just read your sig to my wife and she was literally bent over laughing.
OK - I haven't crashed anything is quite a long time. I'm obviously not pushing the boundaries. I'm not sure where I need to head. Maybe get into 4S powerplants? I don't really want to spend a ton of money on new batteries and ESCs though.
I chopped down a 7x6 GWS prop to 5.5x6 to try out in the Flea tomorrow. I still haven't put the 3S into it so that could be exciting (coupled with the smaller prop).
I've flown the Mig a bunch of times now. It's fairly tame with the current setup. I really need a Watt Meter to be able to quantify power though. Currently it has this [link=http://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBBIES/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4494]motor[/link] and this [link=http://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBBIES/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=4501]fan[/link]
I might try this [link=http://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBBIES/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4487]motor[/link] with a higher kv rating and a much higher amp rating. I would be extremely concerned about specifying (and receiving) the listed "custom" shaft size however. I can't imagine this would go smoothly with UH. The fan is spec'd at 4000kv which is kind of weird isn't it? I would have thought it would have an rpm limit. It does list 14.8v as an input so I think I would be fine surpassing 4000kv at 11.1v
Geez, on some level we're all turning into Doug. This can't be good.
