ing SweeT!!!!

So here's the rough idea in cardboard with third on top. The scoop is not on nose,'cause I know where it's going, same with canopyThe battery compartment is temp capped to achieve shape. My main reason for this approach was a way to keep elecs in airflow ,but in a way that still created a good airflow for 3rd unit. I like Space1's cad layout as well.

taking break

Great work Space1 !!

Time to figure out the BATTERY for this beast. I'm going to put 3 AEO 55mm units w/4900kv brushless (max volts per unit is 11.1v... amps 18) running through 3 Escs. I didn't know if I should go to a 4S 14.8v to run the whole thing ,or higher. Anyone got 2 cents???? EDIT: Still looking at info for ESC size and battery.

better ck spec on motor make sure they can run 4s you be drawing 65amps thats lots for one battery going need 5000ma, three 2200ma should work

What about ESC? I have seen twin 55mms run w/2- 12A. And I have seen a 45A on a 55mm. What would be best set-up?...a 20A on each?? I know that I will be programming each to top and bottom throttle position then either clipping or capping the center wire(the bec wire) on 2 of the ESCs.

Going to be placing parts order TONITE!! EDFs have changed to3- 55mm w/4300kv and 3- 25-30A HK SS ESCs. Still need battery advise.

good i think 3x30c 1800ma 3s whould be fine. 2200ma to heavy un less you need for CG

Really Space1????....3 ing batteries!!LOL.... I was hoping NOT to have to go w/3 batteries. Are we sure that 1 larger wouldn't work??

you got 20amp per fan thats 60 amp drw from one battery not good 3x1800=5400ma thats big battery.PS if one cell goes out in big battery $100 by by with 3 only $20.00 per battery + all that amp drw not good+hook up

I hear ya. I thought that a 14.8V with a constant discharge rate of 78a would handle it.

I thought you going run 3s. 4s lot differnt any way 65 amp out of battery lots prob 3min

Thats what I'm gonna get out of the Meteor and Bandit now at 3/4 throttle for full flight . LOL...I'm gonna try 3S and 4 to see wht's best. External BEC s well.
