I am thinking about adding a ducted fan to a two meter glider I am building. I plan to use aFataba six channel radio and will have rudder, elevator, flaps and throttle control. I have aquired a ProTek RC11.1volt 3300 mah lithium polymer batterypack, I also have a 8.4v 2100 mah nicad pack which is of course heavier. I am confusedabout a number of technical issues, and could use someadvice.
1. ShouldI use a brushed or brushless motor.
2. I have an ESC which came with abrushed motor but it motor is to heavyfor myglider.The ESC hastwoheavy wires going in and out of thecard, a on/off switch and aservo connector. My question is the Lipo pack has two connectors one has two light wires and the other has four wires (three black and one red)
A. what is the four wire connector used for?
B. can I use the Lipo battery pack even though the wires are so small?
3. Will the ESC ( Spectra model GPMA2345) work with the lipo pack?
4. I wish to power the receiver, servos, ESC, and motor from the same battery pack, can this be done?
I suppose these are some dumb questions but I am just getting into this electric stuff and could use some help.
Regards
Dan
