RC India

This is the kit version of the iconic gee bee made out of balsa and fiberglass from rcbazaar.com!! comes as a kit with some working to do!! was lying around for a few months now. so thought ill get this baby flying and more over i found a good test pillot(look at pic below)  ;) !!

pics.

planning to use a 3536-1100kv motor with a 11x7 prop!!

That may just be a little too much prop for that motor! What are the model full specifications?

it was already used by a fellow flyer, so thought i'd go with the same but your suggestions would be great sir.

Specification
● Material: Fiberglass fuselage and balsa wings
● Wingspan: 1036mm
● Length: 623mm
● Wing Area: 21dm sq.
● Height: 250mm
● Airfoil: NACA 2416
● Weight: 1200g (with electronics)

Hmm. That motor should be OK, but you will get a lot of RPM drop and low battery times with the 11*7 prop

Maybe a 10*7

If you want more thrust you could with a 11&5.5 prop, which would make the model fly slower. In my little experience, the Gee Bee needs to fly fast or it will stall. So use a 3536-1250 KV with either a 10*7 prop for very sporty flying, or 11*5.5 for more leisurely flying. BTW I hope your flying skills are good - that is not an easy model to fly!

since i already have a 3536 1500kv motor i'm going with that sir, and i hope it puts my flying skills to the test!! will maiden this week!!

edit- sir i wanted to know how would 11x3.8 do??

A 3536-1500 with a 10*7 draws over 60 A at WOT. With that weight, use a 10" dia prop. Higher dia means very much higher current draw. Use a 60 A ESC. Re.: the pitch, 3.8 is less. Go for at least 6; ie a 10*6 or 10*7.

This is my prediction. However the best is to hook up a wattmeter and actually see what's happening on load. There will be a voltage drop and you can also see the current draw. If you have a Tachometer - perfect! You can check the RPM too.

this might sound stupid, but how would a 3511-750kv motor do sir??

No.Never.

What battery do you plan to use?

I would suggest using the 3536-1100kv motor with a 10x7 prop. (Should give you decent flight times)
Or using the 3536-1500kv motor with the setup suggested by Sanjay Sir with a 10x6 (Flight time would be low)

sir, im fine with using anything from 1500-6600mah 3s battery!!

You might be fine, but will the model be?  :giggle: :giggle:

With that small wingspan do not increase the weight

yes sir planned on 2200mah only!!

The 1500 KV motor will give you 3-4 minutes

And it should be at least a 30 C or else it will swell and get ruined very fast

35c rating sir, and flight time is worse than my 55mm edf!!

You should get around 6 minutes with the 3536-1100kv motor

@Subash, is your battery 35C ?

yup!! not the one you used, i have few zippy too!!

Yup!, no probs, just asked !!

Also your Testpilot looks great :thumbsup:
