Electric Pilots.

[BikeRacer]

I know it's far from a giant scale plane, but I'm about to kit a Sig Kadet LT-25 that will be an electric night flyer. Not sure what I'm going to power it with though. I'll start a build thread when I get to the lighting and covering part.

How did you make out?

 

[Decal Dennis]

No, but I have done a 10s and that freaked me out.

12s is pretty insane

Pikots...that's pronounced< pie-cots> pilots who utilize EMF (electro motative force) for propulsion...we need to submit this new word to Websters



clt12981...I'm messing with you too..

I thought I was never going to read you again! Good to read you MIKE .

I got some Turnigy motors and speed controls for Cheaper than Cheap that are basically brand new. G32 or the NTM 42

The G32 600kv or NTM 42 750kv would haul the LT 25 VERY nicely.
I personally bought them to test their quality when I decided to do a couple of nice electrics. I went with the SK3 aerodrives at a higher cost but they are not that expensive either.

I went over all the motors and properly set shaft's, oiled bearings. and gapped the bells.

For the past 4 years electrics are the only thing I have been flying, War birds(single motor and twins) Civil air craft( mostly on floats off snow here in SD or the lakes and damns in the Summer, Electric Racers, and EDF's(single motors and Twin) in the 70, 80 and 90mm range My Favorite is the new Twin 80mm A-10 Wart Hog From Motion RC and last but not least electric Heli's a blade 250 and an older Blade 550 and of coarse elec. 3der's. All have to say to you all is Welcome to the 21 Century the best is yet to come.
