Title: FMS 64mm EDF Jet
Post by: hangingtough on March 19, 2011, 11:28:05 PM
Dear friends

I set up a 64mm edf jet from FMS. This jet is AUW about 640g, length is about 960mm.

I was scheduled to maiden it but found my battery lipo is bloated. I am worried on the reason of this

Some of my todays test figures
1300mah 25c lipo - 18A avg, peak 20 amps
2200mah 20c lipo - 25A avg, peak 42 amps

The 1300mah lipo got bloated and is now not able to give full throttle.

My questions are
1. Do you think i should try to go with 2200mah instead of 1300mah (standard )
   - there is a increase of 60 gms in AUW because of this.
2. Do you think any 1300mah would get bloated on this setup.
3. i tried to do a full throttle ground take off on 1300 but i got a slight lift after a long run on ground.
