Hi,

The battery is 11.1V, but the servo's work on 4.8-6.0V, should I do anything about that?

[MikeysRC]

@gilifon As long as you use an ESC that has a built in BEC you will be fine. This is just how the RC parts work.

[rubicon31]

what about torque roll does the motor have to be tipped to counter it ?

[MikeysRC]

@rubicon31 There really isn't a way to counter torque roll on a single engine plane....maybe mounting the battery slightly to one side but the way I have this plane set tp with a 1400KV motor and a 10X6 prop I never really had a problem with torque roll.

[TheMatej97]

how much does the whole plane weights?

[MikeysRC]

@TheMatej97 Dunno .....about 700 grams with the battery I think.

hi mikey are you going to do a tutorial on the p51 also ,...i have built the sport trainer and have started on the p51, going to start the spitfire next

[MikeysRC]

@starwarsjazz That battery would be a little too big for this plane.

[starwarsjazz]

Could you use a 2200 11.1v batt, just move it farther back?
