weight for a .25
 

Anyone know how much weight a .25 os fp will be able to hover I am building a foamy yak and am getting a little scared that the weight is to much! I was planning on this plane being fully 3d capable!

Depending on your prop and RPM, anything over 3 pounds is pushing it.

My Fun 15 has an OS 20FP on it with an APC 10x3. Weighs 2 1/4 lbs all up, hovers at just above 1/2 throttle and pulls out fairly aggressively.

I don;t think the plane will weight more then 3 lbs i am going to use a gms micro flight pack will the servos take the load?

I've got a 25FP on my FF Taco... weight is 2 pounds 9 ounces + 4 ounces of fuel... with a full tank it will hover @ just a little over 1/2 throttle... when it's getting lower on fuel, somewhat less than 1/2 throttle.

Thats with an APC 10-3 prop. Pullout of the hover is pretty good, but it's not a rocket. But it gets the job done.

I wouldn't go over 2 1/2 myself. I've had several 3Ds with .25 fp, .25 sx, and Irvine .25. I feel my Taco with the Irvine is marginal and it's now up to 2#11oz (Many repairs!) I had the fp on a PBF at just over 2# and it was ok, but not a rocket.
