Thanks dude its pretty mad I just need to lay the rest of the vinyl ill update next weekend

Any interest in running it on 12s?

 

[Feral]

Not too sure on 12s as yet depending on what motor I end up running will determine that.
I have mountains of packs for just about any HV setup.

If I go the power 180 on 10s and 22x10e it should be in the weight range to use the packs to cg.
But if it still wants more grunt 12s will be the go

At the moment the 8s pack is stuffed against the the engine box and it was way tail heavy

I have run into this dilemma twice recently trying to use a 6s system in a plane built for gas. The first plane I went with a 12s setup to get the CG correct, but it still flew a bit odd in certain 3D moves with the weight distribution being different than the gas setup. I was using a Hacker A60-8S specifically because it is a heavier motor than the Motrolfly.

I know what you mean mate my buddy has a 78 extra with a rimfire 50cc in it on 12s it does not fly good he has too smaller prop on it with too much pitch

That motor in a 78" is massive. 78" is more like a 30CC right?

The 78 is a tweener. Cody calls it a shrunk down 50cc. All the ones up here are 13 pounds which is heavy for 30cc. Mine has a VVRC-40 and the other 3 have DLE-35s on ES composites pipes. It was designed around 2M pattern 10s power systems. Other have put 50cc motors on them but a 12s 5000 system would be stupid power, but it would come in heavy.

When I get it done I want to compare my redwing 50cc slick to it as it should build out around 15.5 pounds.

 

[Feral]

Thats fairly heavy

Thats fairly heavy

15 pounds for a 50cc plane? that doesn't seem too heavy to me...don't most 50cc planes come in around 16-18?

Yes. 15.5 lbs is very very light

 

[Feral]

15pounds for a 78" electric sounds heavy for a 50cc that should be good
