Default RE: Slow stick Forum!!

Thanx man. Will do soon. But there is kind of a problem.... kinda. I was talking to my electric friend at my field. He's an electric genius. If you went to the DOD or down on the deck in houston last year, you saw his lr-1 electric hit 243mph! he's good! lolz, anyway, I was talking to him about my motor choice and he said that will do it just fine.....but..... if you wanted to haul something(which i might just haul a drop box....real light) or if you wanted better flight time, i need to go with a bigger motor. Now, don't get me wrong, i thought it was crazy to before he explaned it to me. With this http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=5164 I could get the amps down REALLY low. Just by putting a smaller prop and a 11.1 volt battery. I though getting a small motor with only 2 cells would drop the amp draw....***?? lol, anyway, that really doesn't matter. Proping is the key here. All i have to do is prop this thing, get it on a watt meter and find out how many watts, volts, amps, etc. on this and i'm ready!
I'm going to go with the 11.1 to get longer flight times. This spreads the load out and draws less amps. I may do exactly what he told me to do also.... Put all the gear on(that bigger motor too), weigh it. See how many oz i have to spare...then load it up! lolz.
