Multiplex Sonic-Liner Canard Radio Controlled Airplane

I have one too with standard motors and Metal Hydride's. Not sure the specs, I can never get my head around the numbers, but it flies great! I love it. My club flies from a decommissioned runway on an Irish Air Corp base. It looks like so realistic in the air and handles so well. I love just getting it up there an just tootling around. It is great in blustery conditions too. I can fly when alot of other stuff can't! I would recommend to anyone!

Your calculations are a bit haywire. Your battery is a 7.2V 8Ah lipo, which means, you have 7.2*8=57.6Wh of power available. Assuming 100% charge transfer efficiency, you couldn't possibly draw 800W for 2/3 of an hour, because you would need about 10X the battery capacity for that to happen.

You're actually drawing about 19.2W per motor, which is a far cry from 400W. You can take down the 40A controllers to about 10A.

You are correct Steve, but those numbers are at full power draw and most of the time it is flown at 1/4 throttle or less.

Too Cool!Unbelievable specifications. Looks like the pilot really has things under control, both in the shop and in the air.
