The Gov in AZ put a "Stay @ Home" order in place.... So finished this bird up. Hope to be able to fly in a couple of weeks, "when the "Stay @ Home" ordered is lifted.

Nice looking plane and neat install. See you have gone electric on the plane keep us informed on how you like it and how it flies. One question how do charge your batteries at the field.

What is that red round thing where the engine goes?

 

[Roger Chamberlain]

Well I charge the batteries at home early in the morning before going to the field. I have 3 charges. the kind that charge 4 batteries at a time. Takes about 45 mins. Taking two planes at the field at a time gives me enough flying time. Even though our field has electric at the site I choose to come out with batteries ready to go.

You lucky you have power at the field , we do not and bringing enough power to charge large batteries at the field is something I am trying to solve.
Just installed one of these in a plane and will be my first E-Power in a plane.
