Default RE: Basic Electric Question


ORIGINAL: davidyat

I'm building a giant scale B-24 Don Smith plane. I would like to power it with electrics. Is there any site that can give me a good basic schematic to get started. I know nothing about what do get for this plane. I'm looking for a site that will take me by the hand and lead me from beginning to end. Some site that shows, here's the battery, here's the engines, here's how you hook them up, etc. You need this size whatever for this size airplane, you get the picture. I've tried some electric sites and there is a lot of info that would take me months to absorb. I was a Math and Physics major in college before I was thrown out for messing around, so numbers don't scare me. Just would like a site to cut down on the studying time.

Thanks in advance

No, there is no such site. If you use the search forum you can look to see if someone has done a build thread for this plane. Then you will see exactly how to build that plane and power it from start to finish.

If you want to understand how an electric power system is sized, and what all the parts do, then read this e-book on electric flight.
