RE: CMP C-160 Transall Electric Conversion
In response to a question from a beginner to the hobby regarding building this model;
<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">I built the EP C-160 (electricversion no designed for gas or glow). I would not attempt this model if you have not built a few prior to this. Being a top wing it should fly very well (some of the posts indicate otherwise). Twin motors present another challenge.
I have 10+ models and 3 of them are twins but this one still created challenges for me. The biggest issue will be the mounting of the motors and the wiring. Even being careful with my dremel I still beat up the nacels and had to do "repair" work to cover the dings.
Wiring up the two motors for starboard counter rotation, single receiver control & matching the speed of rotation can be challenging.
I still have to perform a 70% throttle static test to determine how long the 3 cell 4000mAh LiPo will last. I may have to get a second one to get respectable flight times (more than 6 minutes in my opinion).. I also think the model is nose heavy as Ihave assembled it and will require further balancing.</font></font>
If there are any specific questions, I will try to answer them as best as I can.
