Electric Carden PRO

[Notorious B.E.N.]

I actually found this a while ago and thought I would post it here too.

Using decent packs from Revolectrix, each set of 14S 15300 would cost $598.46 and would take around 1800 watts to charge at 2C. The estimated weight of the packs, ESC, and motor would be 16.9 lbs.

The really interesting thing is that 2 sets of packs, ESC, and motor would be a little under $2900. Of course this does not include the generator(s) and charger(s) it would take to recharge the packs.

I just think this is a pretty neat setup and I don't know if I would ever seriously consider doing this.

That's the only way to go in IMAC these days.

Those Plettenberg motors are impressive. Back in 2008 Bernd Beschorner flew a 42% Raven with the Plettenberg setup at the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout. It was pretty sweet.

I remember he only ran the throttle at 70% only.

That is definitely awesome, but it looks like he only flew about 5 mins. That could be a problem!!
