I've done some very short test runs. I wasn't calculating anything for the moment... just making sure everything works and that my soldering was ok, etc.

The motor is the spec motor for the plane and the LiPo is to spec. The ESC is 35 amp and the spec requires 25 to 40 amp.

I'll be ok for a while with lower settings, so I can leave settings like "throttle response" on easy-on-the-motor, low settings. The only thing I might play with a bit is the battery protection level to get a little extra flight time, but currently that is set at a safe "high cutoff" (but I'm aware that flight may be pretty short). I may start looking at multimeters or wattmeters to get more info on how it's working though.

I didn't throttle up to max, but up to like 75-80% of power and only for a few seconds at higher rpms. The Park 480 packs a punch

Cheers
