Default RE: Does size really matter?


ORIGINAL: kid chuckles

I have the Vision Peak charger and I can charge a 2100 lipo in about and 45min. It takes less time the smaller the battery such as a 1380 takes about 30min. The deal with Elec. for me is trying to choose motors. There are so many choices and being able to figure out what all the #''s mean is more that i can do. For one plane you can get the 20-30-40, 3214, 10, 25-40-35, just knowing what all the different numbers meas is something else. I thinks all manufactuers should use 1-whatever the bigger the plane the bigger the number such as a small profile foamy would be a #2 and a 100size would take a 20 and in between a 66" would take a 14 and so on. Just would be so much easier. At least glow is sort of that way. From a 10-120
I agree but since most flyers are well aware of glow engine sizes for airplanes and alot of airplanes are rated by their glow engine size but can be flown electric I think it would be nice if they rated them by those numbers so we can switch back and forth in our hobby pursuits with less confussion.
