As for the brands Blue Lipo, E Power, Sky Lipo, and Rhino seem to be about equal. The best I remember I read somewhere out there when I first started with electric to store at around 4.12 per cell. ...

Can you have too much camber in an airfoil?

The videos of Ed at experimental airlines showing how to build a strong and light true airfoil out of Dollar Tree foam board looks like what I have been looking for in a quick build. I am going to...

My bad. I've been testing lots of motors. I suppose it is a 1200 kv instead of 1000 or at least that is what I am guessing because it says 2712-12. It don't spell out kv on the motor. As for...

Can you use one channel to power two gyros?

With a GY48V can you set the gain on the ground without using a channel to adjust gain? Then use a y connector to power two gyros using them as rate gyros? You can tell I know nothing about gyros.

Is this a reliable test of approximate flight time?

Hook up a fully charged 3s 2200 pack to your motor prop combo. The most amps you can use is 1760 mah which would leave you 20%. Watch your mah guage on the watt meter and start the stop watch. You...

You might have something there about the cables shorting. Its not the motor because it don't do that with my other batteries. Looks like that battery will only be used for lights.
