Hi Everyone
I am new to the electric game , this is a new conversion from glow to electric. Flight video http://media.putfile.com/8-foot-wing...c-SPAD-trainer , in the video I flew close because I have a small zoom on camera.

wingspan 96"
chord 12"
fuselage 50
weight 7 pounds , 5oz.
Motor AXI 2826-12
controller jeti advance 40 Opto plus
battery thunder power 3s2p 4200 mAh
I have some questions? How much cooling do I need ? I know heat hurts, but how hot is hot for Batteries and controller.
After tne video flight the controller and battery were warm to the touch, the controller maybe a little warmer. Just wondering how far to go on the heat? It is a trainer so its never going to be flown hard. But anyway , Thanks David

Great job! That looks like a real tough bird. I could use something like that to clear the airfield during busy times in the summer.

The Lithium pack temperature should not exceed 160 degrees F or it will reduce the pack longevity. Your open-air AXI outrunner should stay nice and cool.

Good luck!

Thanks Greg , the info. was much appreciated. I always love for your reviews on RCU. Thanks again David

Your project seem very weel done.

Also, small question. Do you have only one lipo pack ? what is your propeller size.

And about a 4130, from AXI, does it can be better or the 2826 was not use at full of it's power and was enought ?

Thanks

13-8

Sorry! I made a mistake, the prop is 13-10.. As far as the 4130 AXI , that would be great! it depends on what you want to do with it? Bigger motor adds more power , Yes! it also adds more weight , And cost. ( Dual batteries) ouch!!l In the video at level flight I'm at half throttle. With the weight of the plane and wing size wingload is a little over 15oz. thats great for a SPAD trainer of that size, Thats what I built it for. a real floater. Heres an under the hood PIC of equipment. This wing has been flown with two glow engines EVO 61, and LA46 and then the AXI , for a trainer, the AXI blows there doors off . I say that again a TRAINER!! It will fly with anything you want to put on it.. I hoped I helped .

Have a Great Day or Evening
David
PS The plane Pics are the EVO 61 and LA46 , Fuselage and stab. are defferent on all

WOW Nice Plane Thanks for the video link and info so far I have been toying with the idea of going electric you video has clinched it Any Ide on how many amps you are pulling and with the lipo what kind of flight times are you getting thanks

52167

Thanks Hellcat Not sure on amps? Sorry. flown as a trainer, slow and stable with touch and goes and some inside loops my flight times are 10 to 12 minutes.
Happy Flying
David
