Building yet another CMP Me-109. Last one has an e-flite power 160 on 10s 5000 spinning 15.75x13 3 blade. Looks nice....but only flies for 5 mins.
This third one will have a turnigy 5065-270kv spinning a 20x10 turnigy wood prop or an 18x12 turnigy wood prop(ground clearance) on 8s 5000.
Testing on a different plane of the same size and weight with that power setup has given me about 8+ min flight times at half throttle with the batteries not even being warm after the flight. At full throttle, she can pull out of a hover...so im not lacking for power at all with that setup.
I have also just recently finished my 2nd ESM ME-109E using a similar power setup. It has an e-flite power 110 on 8s 5000 spinning a 20x10.
My first ESM ME-109 currently still has a saito 180 in it spinning a graupner 16x8x3.
Anyhow...for giggles....heres the most recent ESM ME-109
