    12S power systems ideas and options

    I didn't say they held that, I said they were at that voltage prior to the run. I forgot to note the drop under load. Voltage was taken with a standard RC watt meter that is universally used... Numbers should be identical to those taken by other watt meters. I'll get better watt meter numbers...

    35CC 3D Plane

    DLE 20 is sufficient... DLE 30 would have suited me better, as I like the extra power. Thing is, you can always put a slower prop on it like a 20x6 if you don't want to get too insane... The DLE 20 on 17 or 18x6 isn't enough for my style. I ended up selling the DLE 20 powered one I had, and...

    Good advice Zach! Another idea to consider is using one of the awesome Fromeco Wolverine switches and an AR9010 receiver. I think total cost is similar, and I like the dual battery switches with charging jacks and lights. This way, you can instantly see if one of your batteries is dead, and...

    I've been trying to call for two days, at multiples times each day, but the phone is on a repeating loop: "Press one for customer service" so I press one and it rings once, then back to "Press one for customer service"

    12S power systems ideas and options

    My reading was through an amp meter on batteries charged up to at 4.15v each. Current was measured at 135a, watts measured at 3000w and doubled since watt meter was only on one battery in the series connection. Readings taken on full power run after 15 seconds at full power. One reason I'm...

    Bryan, I had 6000w on my mine with 24x9 Xion CF prop, and I have a 192kv wind. Recommend you start with the PJN 24x10 before the 24x12.

    DM 5335 (50cc size Electric) made by Subsonic Planes

    Nope, sold it on the site a few weeks ago, sorry :( My test wind of 192kv kicked out 6000w on a 24x9 Xion carbon prop Tuesday.... Going to try a 23x10 Xoar Electric next. Need to get the watts down a little to about 5300-5500 watts. Pretty incredible punch out tho!!

    A guy I was flying with in Vegas got hit in the kidney by a 40" foamy. Bruise/pain hung around a while so he went to the doc. Turns out he had an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder, and started treatment right away.... Crazy that getting hit by plane may have added a few more years onto his life.

    Flight times would be longer on the 12s setup I referenced when compared to the 6s setup due to more efficiency. I think there is an error in your calculations... Aeroplayin where are you?

    Mike: 6s 2600 packs: http://www.buddyrc.com/glacier-30c-2600mah-6s1p.html 2x 412g = 824g / 2x $49.95 = $99.90 6s 5300 packs: http://www.buddyrc.com/glacier-35c-5300mah-6s1p.html 1x 785g / 1x $104.95 So in the comparison above, we've got 6s5300 vs 12s2600, and the cost of the 6s is less...

    Mini Review 4s 2600 mAh LiPo Battery from YellowJacketsRC

    Got a chance to fly again yesterday... YellowJackets are holding up great. Some initial observations: Absolutely no difference in flight between the YJ's and the TP's. Love the fact I can 3c charge the YJ's all day (and 5c if I need to), whereas the TP's instructions say 1C ONLY. So far so...

    Having flown multiple motrolfly motors on BOTH 6s and 8s... I can say without a doubt they preform better, run cooler, and give more power on 8s. But like has been said, having 6s packs already simplifies the planning. Many choose 6s 5000 so they can pair them up (as I have) on a 50cc sized...
