Default RE: B-36 build thread and free plans

Power calculation for this project begins with summing the power consumption of each servo...per hour
at max load for a good margin of safety. Flight duration should be planned for no less than 18 minutes
per flight.

I recommend a seperate electrical system for flight control from that powering motors. This nets decent
ballast without gaining non-functional weight.

How did your glider mock-up fly?
