I'm running 2 4s 4000mah and 2 4s 4500mah in series and they work great on my 70" Slick. But as far as a prop I'm not at a high elevation and I'm running a Motrolfly 4325-280 with a Xoar 20x8 and it has gobs of power and is very efficient. I'm getting 7 minutes and barely using 60% and everything is staying very cool temp wise. On the 4500's I could easily get 8 1/2 minutes with out pushing it. Now I don't fly super crazy with it yet but I do mix it up pretty good, once I get to fly it more I'll have to watch the flight time closer I'm sure. I was just getting more aggressive with it when I finally got the setup just where I like it and the flying season started getting over. This time of the year I pretty much only fly smaller planes and mostly foamies, they are less brittle in the cold.

I love that motor/prop combo. My favorite of the ones I've tried so far.

If useing batteries in series they should be equal in amp's capacity but they can be different in voltage. You could do to 4s 4000 or a 4s 4000+ a 5s 4000

If you use them in parallel then you use equal voltage but they can different capacity's

Ive tried about every prop combo I can except a 21x11 which aeromodel suggested and Ill try soon. Im wondering if anyone is running 8s or 12s on this plane that can compare it to 6s for me. I like to abuse my aiframes and fling em around a bit. With this setup I can barely get a full snap roll out of it unless its on a downline. Pop tops are non-existant. Im sure some of you cheaters (ahem) I mean low altitude guys get lots of power from the hacker, but up here I need more Scotty! (sorry steve for the hacker blasphemy).

The Hacker will provide the same amount of power at 7000' as at sea level, You just need a bigger prop or more voltage.

Use your Watt meter and try 8s and then find a prop that gives you the power you want.

You could stay at 6s but may have to go to prop so large that it has to much torque or to heavy for hard 3D

Just as a matter or mentioning....I got another batch of carbon fiber in, and if anybody else wants some of the fuselage braces, I am going to make up another batch....

I was doing some research trying to find out if anyone else has the same issues with there DLE and this guy had posted this back in 2009. Do you guys think this could be my issue???

I guess the whole world now knows about the problem with the DLE30..The engine quits when tilted at idle...The fix is rounding off the square edges of the rear crankcase casting and rounding the internal corners...Gas pools in the corners and gets ingested killing the engine because of the extra fuel...Happens only at a slow idle....Can't take a picture, just go in there and look....

Well you would think........if the whole world knows about it..........DLE would have fixed it by now. Na............probably the reason, it does sound possible

In 2009, the DLE was a side carburetor engine, while the newer ones are a rear carb. They are not the same crankcase....(at least not the rear part)

I was thinking the same thing.

See my last post...

Thanks Steve! I will one day lay this to bed! My first reaction was to just sell this plane and get rid of it! But I am going to look at this as a challenge. I will eventually figure it out!

Check out this page....perhaps you can find a cure there... Seems to be a common problem....

Hey Steve,

Were you the one who had to put the rudder servo in the tail because of a slightly heavy setup?

Well, I wouldn't say I was "the one", but I took my power set-up (Hacker A60-6XS, 6S 65C 5000mAH Thunder Power packs, Castle ICE100 and BEC Pro) out of a 70" Slick that balanced perfectly with it, and put it in my 71" Slick, which yes, had to have the servo put in the tail to balance it.... A few others have commented their Slicks have coming out a bit nose heavy also.

SteveT.

I have my rudder servo in the tail with a Motrolfly 4330 and Castle Ice 80HV up front and my this is my batt placement.
