Title: Re: Maxford 1/6scale J3 Piper cub : Please suggest electric power system Post by: sanjayrai55 on July 22, 2015, 08:55:23 PM I use a NTM 3548 - 800 KV with 3S and 14*7 prop on my Tucan (about 1.8 Kg) I don't think it would be adequate. Since it is a scale model I would suggest go with a larger motor, 45** or 50** with about 400 KV, 4S LiPo and a suitable prop. Better battery time too

The Expected AUW as in Maxford website, is 2.5Kg. Also the suggested motor is Uranus 35425 1100Kv. I am newb when it is planes ! So for this AUW (2.5Kg), How much thrust the motor should provide ? I am looking for exact scale like performance (Not in to sports flying) Title: Re: Maxford 1/6scale J3 Piper cub : Please suggest electric power system Post by: K K Iyer on July 22, 2015, 10:03:35 PM 2.1kg
It says so on Maxford's site ;D You'll recall that i have long been propagating the idea that 1:1 thrust to weight is NOT required... Title: Re: Maxford 1/6scale J3 Piper cub : Please suggest electric power system Post by: sooraj.palakkad on July 22, 2015, 10:06:38 PM So whats the Final verdict ? :headscratch:
Haven't properly flown a Plane yet. thus I don't have any clue, what the performance will be for different thrust to weight ratio :( Please Guide me. (Wont mind a little theoretic explanation ;D) |
