Default RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

Flightops_69,

Please comment on max speed; will adding weight make the plane slower?


Of course when we aim for max speed we are doing tradeoffs.


The following does not apply to our case given several reasons such as bigger battery packs, more power, and range of radio.


Higher takeoff speed. (with the nose partly up, the thrust of the motor is used, still a firm throw though).
Longer takeoff run.
Reduced rate and angle of climb.
Lower maximum altitude.
Shorter range.
