RE: Brio - Glow to Electric
Kelly Looks like a neat motor install. I think you need to check your arithmetic, your 2x lipos at 1260 grams convert to (1260 divide by 28 grams / ounce = 45ounces and not 22.22) so your final weight will be over 12lbs. Regards John

RE: BJ Craft - Nuance 120
Have ordered my Nuance 120 in yellow this morning, power will be a Hyperion ZS4035-12-299Kv with the Hyperion Opto 90 ESC and 8S 5000 pack, should give around 2000watts on an 18x10 APC. Managed to sell my Otop at the club today so cost of Nuance somewhat less painful! Looking forward to the build. John

RE: BJ Craft - Nuance 120
Andy Thanks for this thread and the useful information it contains. I am about to buy one of these and have a few questions on motors, batteries etc. Firstly I will not fly compettition, but I like to fly pattern models, I currently fly a Wind 110 and a Miss Wind. I was surprised your 8S setup was only producing 1572 watts, could you post some details of the motor, kv, price etc.I have basically three unused power trains at the moment, a 6S set 380kv producing 1860 watts on a 17x10 apc, an 8S set with 2000 watts on an 18x10 and a 10S with 2200 watts on a 19x10 none of these are specific pattern motors and have relatively high kv as you will gather from the prop sizes. If yours flys well on 1600 watts I would think that the 6S setup might be the best, it will be the lightest option and I have more 6S packs than anything else. I would be interested to hear your views. Best regards

APC V2 electric props.
I have heard some of you mention the new APC V2 props and how they are stiffer and better than the basic APC electric props. I can't find any info on them on the net. Anyone have any idea where to get them? John

Anyone electrified this model yet? I am thinking of going with an 8S setup and 18x10 prop, should produce around 2400 watts for 210 watts per pound or so. John

Everette I originally flew the Otop with the CG on the front of the wing tube this is 160mm behind the LE. At 195 it is about 5mm behind the wing tube. John

RE: What to do? 2m Patternship
littledevile I fly pattern planes though I do not compete, I just like to fly them as they fly so well. I started with a second hand Sebart Angel 50 with the stock motor / controller and 6S battery. Unless you are already a very good pilot this model will do anything you can. I then decided I would like something a little bigger and moved up to a Sebart Wind 110 again on 6S. ( This allowed me to stick with my simple charger etc.) I liked the 110 a lot as being bigger it presented better in the air and flew fine except in very windy conditions when I felt it was a bit underpowered. I eventually crashed the Wind 110, and although the fuselage was in two pieces and one wing tube was pulled out of one wing, I repaired it and it still flew well, it is still flying with a friend who has damaged and repaired it again. After the Wind I decided to go full 2 meter and bought a Shinden all composite at a very good price (under $900) I also had to buy a decent charger (Cellpro 10S) new motor / controller and 10S battery packs. There was more work to do the install than the wooden models as the motor mount is not pre-prepared and some thinking, cutting and glueing is required! The Shinden flew very well too although at my skill level I don't think it flew better than the wind 110, when I eventually crashed that too all I had left was a bag of fiberglass! Composite models do not repair easily. I have now gone back to a new Wind 110 this time on 8S with more power and less amps. Love flying it still and If I go back to a 2 metre I would only buy a wooden one i.e, a Vanquish 2M or an Osiris, I suspect both of these will fly on 8S if you are not into competition flying but I would always take advice from RC Pattern on such matters. You should be able to put a Wind 110 in the air for around $1,000 including motor / controller, servos, charger and some battery packs. In short I would not advise you to jump straight into pattern with a full house 2M competition model. If you have not flown mid-sized electric models you need to get on the learning curve a bit lower down and get used to battery charging and management etc. I would suggest a Wind 110, but if you inssist on 2M I would follow Arch's advice and get a Vanquish. Therer are build threads on here that you can read for both the Vanquish and the Wind 110. Best regards and good luck.
