Default RE: Dalotel

I narrowed down the power package to a Hyperion 4020-14 motor and 5S lipo. I ordered a mount for the 4020 and have a new AR7000 rx. I plan to use either Futaba 3102's(excellent centering accuracy) or the digital version. Two aileron servos plus the retract servo in the wing. Rudder(and maybe elevator) to have cable drive. ESC is a CC 80. I ran the numbers through Motor Calc 8 and got 212 watts per pound in and 198 watts per pound out with an APCE 14/7. Folks, that's nearly a 1/1 thrust to weight! Weather really sucks here(light snow in Southern Mississippi!). Work has me down through Saturday and hope to start making patterns on Sunday.
