Was buying some spares for Addiction X, then this idea struck me, why not get a Precision Aerobatics Katana MX 57" along with Vortex Generators. here we are, She is powered by Thrust 50 motor with 2750 mah 6S nanotech batt and 100 Amps ESC, 17x6 prop.Watch out for build and fly log on this space about this beauty. here are some stock pics

IN THRUST WE TRUST.....!!



looking at that setup...i seriously doubt what ppl havee been telling me about the flight time i am getting...in ur experience how  much will a 2250 nanotech( 65-130 c) last at with a 60A esc(draw being 40A)

many told to use a simple calculation

flight time in mins = ( capacity of battery in Ah)/(discharge in A) * 60

which gives me a time of around 3mins. which seems unlikely.

whats your say on that...?  Head Scratching

Vish

you are right about the draw and flight time, at full draw yes, throughout the flight you rarely stay at full draw, as voltage falls so does the draw.  hard 3d i heard is 6 min, most displays if you see is about that time, mild 3d and pattern flying should give you 8-10 min.

1. Got a reprimanding kind of email from Precision Aerobatics for the build log of Bandit (Probably they are averse to free advt that happens when people read Build log and Mod Log)

2. I don't want to get into some legal hassle with the company (they did talk about IPR etc)

Please enjoy the fly log, tomorrow is the maiden, keeping my fingers crossed.

He tried mode 1 today!

Maidened her today, as usual the motor mount came off inspite of reinforcing etc (see image). I have flagged the issue with the OEM. Let us see what do they have to say.

Maiden was good, took off turned left, motor mount came off, landed.

He tried mode 1 today!
PS
Did some mode one flying (For the first time in life) thanks to harveer (refer Iyer sir's post above). Landed and did some aeros on mode one, didn't find it particularly difficult. i guess i will switch to flying on both modes

We really wouldn't mind a Groupie with diamond ear studs now, would we? Mr. Raha will need some convincing though.............

p.s. the Lt.Col. from Jallandhar has bloody keen eyes. Maybe you will want him as a  spotter. God, miss you devils so much.
