I have had this model sitting for about a year. Work has been hectic and I just didnt have anytime to get to it. But I worked on it a little at a time and finally finished it this morning. It has the following
Dualsky X-motor 6360CA-11
CC-80 HV ESC
22x12 prop
12s2p A-123
Servos are Hitec 5645's
JR X9303 and a AR-7000 receiver
5 Cell reciever pack
First flight was at a little over 1/2 throttle. I forgot to check the timing after I reprogrammed the ESC. When I went to 3/4 power it squeled real load. So I just throttled back and broght it around and landed.
I took out my laptop and tried high timing first but that didnt work so It was low timing that solved the problem. Put everything back together and taxied back out. I took off and it grooved real nice. I was a little nervous as I dont fly large scale very much. Mostly sailplanes. It rolled very nice. The balance was good as I only needed 1 click of up trim. The ailreons needed 2 clicks of right. I flew for 10 minutes total. I did 2 spins that were nice and flat. It takes a little longer to recover but it flew great. Landing was a piece of cake. The 22 inch prop is a good brake. The weight has to be at least 15 pounds. I was really surprised how well it flew.
59 amps draw at 2170 watts on the watt meter. I am charging the A-123's right now to see how much I used. The weather was great. Not a person at the field. We ate the turkey early in the day. My wife and 2 of the 3 kids went along. It was about 3pm so I only had 2 hours of light left when I left my house.
Overall I am impressed with the setup. More maybe this weekend.
