RE: Making Effective Changes to the Local Clubs

Thanks for the links fliers. I especially enjoyed the 2nd one about instructors and what it takes.

I think our members have to stop thinking about it from a "Money" perspective or "Membership"...

RE: Making Effective Changes to the Local Clubs

I suppose you're right. I would just like to see young adults have the same opportunities I sought after when I was 15 years old.

RE: Using a 25C Battery on A 893KV motor

Good, I hope things work out. Keep in mind though, just because the motor can turn a 13" prop doesn't mean the battery can handle the amp draw. Hopefully you're running a high quality ESC and then...

RE: Using a 25C Battery on A 893KV motor

How many Amps were you pulling? If you don't have a watt meter, get one. I run a similar set up on a glow conversion Spacewalker. I had quite a bit of trouble setting it up b/c when I'd throttle to...

RE: Can't Decide for plane

I always end up replacing all of the stock stuff anyways. I say put your own electronics in it. Let us know how it works out. I heard that the landing gear wasn't very durable but it's a pretty...

Seagull Models Spacewalker I

If anyone has a copy of the assembly instructions for a "Seagull Models Space Walker I" I'd like a copy of them. I bought this plane second hand. It was built when I bought it so there were no...

RE: .40 Lancair Legacy Conversion

Thanks Walt. I'm not interested in 3D. I have enough on my hands already. I guess if the numbers add up everything else is just excess. I'm going to look into the Anderson/Sermos Power Poles...

RE: .40 Lancair Legacy Conversion

Some people have commented that a 4s pack isn't sufficient and they wouldn't go below 6s. What are your thoughts on that? I think I'm going to buy a parallel connector at the local shop. If...

RE: .40 Lancair Legacy Conversion

Wow. That was a wealth of information. I really appreciate the advice. I'm gonna wire them in parallel and see how that does. This is the first big conversion I've done and I was sweating the need...

RE: DX-7 Throttle question

Yea, my inventory is mostly for smaller models. This is the first big model I've set up. I'll try changing the props around and seeing where that gets me. Unfortunately I've sold most of my...

RE: These batts are giving me a headache!!

Jason, You said that a 20C pack can only handle about 65A max draw. What can a 30C pack handle and how do you figure that out?

RE: These batts are giving me a headache!!

RE: These batts are giving me a headache!!

I do have a Watt meter. It's pulling somewhere around 60A when it cuts out so it makes sense since the batteries are only 20C. So what are my options in batteries? I don't want to go over 8s as...
