RCCOMBAT Forum

Thanks Todd, I`m glad to have someone else besides me blowing stuff up in flight.

I`ve bought stuff from Hi Models several times and have gotten good service. Don`t know anything about the ASP

Scott, you need to go back and read the whole thread. You have clearly misintrepreted my posts, but that happens when you jump into the middle of a disscussion like that. No problem, I`m use to it. I only read about half of your post too. Chill out man.

Bob "Buttercup" Leone and I are getting some new B stuff ready for the LSN this weekend. When I see how stuff shakes out there will be a fresh thread started about N Texas E-Open B 2010 style.

Cool Todd!! I know that the guy who built it isn`t active on these forums, but I`d love to know what hes running and how it`s set up. If you could get him to join us in sharing the e-combat love, that would be awesome.

I do agree Todd.

Right now it hasn`t been an issue. In the future as the power/weight ratio for electrics gets better, a limit on the size of the e-motor will be a good idea.

That has never been determined. An electric motor manufacturer suggested either the displacement (volume of the motor) or the weight of the motor would be the best factor. I plan to submit something to the AMA this rules change cycle. Any help from the electric gurus would be appreciated. No war he...

We like many other clubs have a resident electric speed guru. We have put a coroplast mig in the hands of our local expert. He is not happy at less than 150mph. Let's see if he manages to make it happen. I am sure he will. We will let you know when he flies with the combat crowd in April. Todd, mak...

Right now there is no limit on the power output of an IC motor in Open B either. Why doesn`t everyone (or anyone for that matter) run Jett .30s in combat? The answer is basically cost and weight. Not may are willing to put a barstock hand built $300 in harms way or risk it being lost in the sticks a...

Looks good Ed! I think if you run more off the "top" of the battery before setting rpm that you`ll only see about 500 rpm drop by the end of the heat.

Yes that`s pretty much how it works. It depends on the quality of the motor and how it`s rated. Some makers over rate their motors and some under rate theirs. There isn`t a set standard that all use. They basicly suggest volts based on what rpm they think the motor is good for, depending on the kv r...

I talked briefly with Ed last night and he told me that he has maidened this planes electric powered sister ship. Said he flew it twice with great results. The same performance, only cleaner. I`m sure Ed will supply some pics and details. Good job Ed!!!

No problem Don, glad to help.

Use your sub trim. Set your subtrim at about -50% and that should let you slow it down to 17,500.

Cool, thanks for following the RCP through the "system" Ed. Now I need to get one built.
