RCU Forums - Hyperion motor etc. setup enquiries for two e-sailplanes

G'day,

Set-up advice required please for two e-sailpanes using Hyperion motors and ESCs.

I want to use Hyperion gear as it's readily available here, and as I also have the Hyperion e-Meter which will assist me with set-ups and more particularly programming the ESC.
However I need a good place to start.
The models are the 2m span RCM-Pelikan Filip 600 T-tail, the other the 2.4m span FVK Signal-Rippe. Both are around 1.5Kgs, wet.
I believe that both would be adequately catered for with a Hyperion 3025-06 or 08 motor, and with a Hyperion Titan 50A opto ESC for each of them.
They would have 11.1V LiPo power packs, a smaller one for the Filip, around 2200mAh, and probably a larger 3300mAh pack for the Signal - 'cos there's more room! Naturally both will have separate Rx packs. The power packs will be more than likely Hyperion also, although the Poly RC packs from CheapBatteryPacks in the USA are apparently identical, but cheaper, and will therefore also fit my charger and balancer.

What would be a suitable prop range to use for these two aircraft, without hell-for-leather performance, but enough to get them up there smartish? ;) This would be without overstressing the motor or ESC.
I've attempted to use E-Calc to find out for myself, but have found it a little difficult to understand, despite its comprehensive tutorial. I may take a look at Moto-Calc to see if that's any more difficult for me to follow. I just find it hard to comprehend some of these programs. :eek:

I'd appreciate an evaluation of the motor/ESC combinations as well as the suitable prop size enquiry.

Thanks and regards from Oz.

David.
