[NSRCA-discussion] Electric pattern recommended equipment

[JEREMY CHINN]

Chris Moon took the time to put up the new site 
 
http://www.electric-f3a.com/
 
Lots of great information to be had there. > Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 17:30:52 -0500> From: glmiller3 at suddenlink.net> To: aabdu at sbcglobal.net; nsrca-discussion at lists.nsrca.org> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Electric pattern recommended equipment> > Anthony,> > I've used the Axi 5330 F3A and the Dualsky 11T with very good results from both. I think the AXI is a little stronger, but both are plenty powerful. I usually run them with a 20X15 APC prop. The CC85 and Jeti 99 spin controllers are both very good and reliable. I prefer the Spin's myself, but I've used both. > > For batteries, I prefer the Flightpower 5350 F3A packs....these have more capacity for their weight than the higher discharge capacity packs - You don't need the "C" rating, you need the "mah" rating- my perspective anyway. The True battery 5000 ma packs are OK for practice, but their availablity is spotty and they seem to have differing dimensions between different "lots". > > There is a new website the has been started to collate various electric combo's-- I'm sure someone here will give the url shortly.> > G> ---- Anthony Abdullah <aabdu at sbcglobal.net> wrote: > > =============> Hello everyone,> I have decided that my next pattern plane / build will be electric and I am doing my preliminary research before starting to buy equipment (motor, ESC, batteries, prop, E-motor mount) and could really use some help. > > My goal for my first foray into electrics is to put together proven reliable equipment that works and performs well as complimentary components. I don't know as much about electrics as I will need to, but I am sure that I will be learning a lot as I go along. My expectations are that I will be using a Lipo 10S pack of at least 5000 mah (will this be enough?). I have often seen that people use the Hacker C50 motors but also see a lot of other engines by other manufacturers. > > Requirements:> 1. I do not want to use a gear box so I will need a motor capable of direct drive> 2. I want equipment where the components will all work well together > 3. weight is always an issue> 4. price is a consideration but third behind reliability and performance> > I will be flying advanced with the new airplane which will be purpose built as an electric. If there is a website or other source of useful information on electrics, I would like that as well. > > Thanks in advance> Anthony > > _______________________________________________> NSRCA-discussion mailing list> NSRCA-discussion at lists.nsrca.org> http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion> > _______________________________________________> NSRCA-discussion mailing list> NSRCA-discussion at lists.nsrca.org> http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion
