    94" mxs-exp

    The 85 will have more power indeed. The 70 should be much smoother running,also I think an EF 94 in plane is so light, it could be flown with a 60cc motor and kick butt. I want one these very badly. I bet they are a grand plus $200 in shipping. Has them been word on the actual cost?

    First VPP F3P Freestyle Plane Build

    Deans plugs current limit

    I know for sure at 100 amps, it will heat the plug, and the blades will shift. The plastic casing melts and this is the problem with the design. I run EC5 on most all of my packs now.

    First VPP F3P Freestyle Plane Build

    OK its finished her, I was able to shave a little weight from my initial guesstimate. I cut off all the servo plugs, and soldered in Magnetic Wire. Now I didnt go crazy trying to shave weight.

    Ok, anyone who' wants to be apart, they need to set up a G+ account and make sure it's working correctly in the hangout. Then schedule a time and let's do it. I've hosted a few, and been a guest speaker on a few. It's great times indeed, especially when you invite a special guest.
