Title: esc, motor, battery for electric plane Post by: tg on August 13, 2009, 01:18:56 PM Hi,
I'm in the process of building a foamy from 3mm EPS sheet. The wing span is about 700mm and i expect that the model should be max around 300gms minus any electronics. Plan to use 3 gm servos for this. Any idea what motor, esc and battery would be a good choice? I have a BL 2204, 7.4v 2S 850 mAH lipo. Also, any lightweight RXs that may be suitable?

Also, any lightweight RXs that may be suitable? well you have the ingredients just buy a 10 amp esc and for a light weight rx please give us details of your tx and anyway rx's are light these days i believe for a 6ch 72 mhz a gws rx is the lightest i know subbu Title: Re: esc, motor, battery for electric plane Post by: rcforall on August 13, 2009, 01:39:49 PM The weight of the models without the set up touching 300 gms for a foamy seems an over estimation TG.
I would put it at closer to 200 gms. Yes AUW 300 gms should be OK with a 2204 set up . My fox and the Bigger Mr MOSS fly 2204 with AUW around 250 - 300 gms. As for receiver I use a 4.3 gms Assan Rx on the Fox ;D You can lighten any receiver for that matter by taking off the cover and using the circuit sai |
