RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

I finally tried the VPX batteries. These are A123 cells but the 1100 mah version. They performed very well and the Pico TM flew just fine with them in there. I got 26 minutes of flight time and on...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Ahhhh, another twist to flying the Pico TM. At night!!! Here's what I did to light things up. Used six total 8mm brightest white leds I could find. The leds were rated at 75,000mcd and a 40 degree...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

The 350mah battery will probably give 8 minutes or so. I'm running a flightpower evo lite 800mah 2s (25-30 minute flight). Yes it's long and yes I did carve out some foam to make it fit in there. As...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Hi rcdavid, 9 gms refers to weight in grams. The lighter the better. I kept the original wheels because most of my takeoffs are hand launch anyway and my landings are softened by pasture grass. For...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Are you running a 1200 mah 2s lipo?

I finally got to fly mine with the 6x3 prop. It's louder probably because it's spinning lots faster, and it draws a tad less current than the 8x4.3 at the...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Tam popo, the site says your motor was made by towerpro however after checking in other places I still wasn't able to find the resistance to plug into the calculator. If that motor really weighs 65...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Himax 2212-1180 + GWS slow flyer 8x6 + 2s lipo = 64.1% efficient Switching to a GWS slow flyer 8x4 would increase the efficiency to 68.4% with this motor and lipo.

Axi 2203/46 + GWS slow flyer...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

I must have done something right with this build. Today I flew the Moth until "low-voltage-cutoff" (LVC) at 3v/cell. I'm flying an 800mah 2s flightpower evo lite. It went for 30 straight minutes. And...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Sorry, not going to post any pics because I butchered the cowling up pretty good and plus the cowling that came in the box is white so it looks odd but still functional. I probably used way too much...

RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Here's another Pico TM success story:
