All,

I am just getting started in e power and have been reading about the A123 cells and they seem to have many advantages and few drawbacks. To that end I would like some advice on the setup that will match up with them. I am converting a 3 1/2 lb ship with about 600 in2 of wing. I want to be able to fly at about 55mph for 6 mins. I would like to be able to field charge the pack in 15-20mins between flights (ideally just plug into the battery pack in the ship and charge).

Question: the motor I have seen for this application is a AXI 2826-10, will this work with the A123's if so what voltage pack do I build, what amps should I plan on running. I have also see the CC ESC used - what model will match up with this setup and what timer? For the charger what charger/balancer works best with the A123's? Last, is there a motor calc program that handles the A123 battery option?

Thanks, Dennis
