RE: Goldberg cub ARF electric conversion
Mike, The power system will fly the cub just fine. Horizon is recommending 2 2s 4200 packs in series because that what they sell. Thunder Power even makes a 4s2p. You can find these for sale on several web stores. Any 4s 3700+ capacity will work just fine. Just make sure that the pack can handle a current draw of at least 60 amps. Why 60? The setup listed will pull just shy of 50 amps and you want some overhead so the battery will last longer. A wattmeter is to an electric guy as a tach is to a glow guy. Buy or borrow one. There are many to choose from. I use an Astroflight one. To use a wattmeter, you hook it up between the battery and the esc using connectors. Run the motor up for about 30-60 secs and read the display to get the following info: Amp draw..............Make sure that you are below the limits set by the motor, esc and battery manufactors. Voltage..................Often overlooked, but you are checking to see how well your battery is holding voltage under load. Your looking for about 3.5 or better per lipo cell under load. About 1 volt per cell for nimah. Watts.....................Basically the unit is multipling volts times amps. The power output to the motor. There are many rules of thumb about how much is enough. Some say that watts doesn't matter as much as people say. 75-100 watts per pound for a cub is just fine. Enjoy your plane. John

Mega 16/15/5 and an APC 7x5 prop. On 3s pulls 25-27 amp and pulls great. Mega 16/14/4 and an 6x4 or 5x5 prop would give better speed at the expense of some thrust. John

RE: gws c-47
Did you cycle the batteries? Nicad and nimh batteries have to be cycled a couple of times to get the best proformace out of them. John [quote]ORIGINAL: timothy thompson did you modify anything I used two packs a 7.2v 800ma and a 7.2 1800ma pack both were reccomended in the instructions. Take off seemed ok the tail lifted and the plane got in the air there did not seem to mbe enough power to gain altitude for a turn. I fly large scale 1:5 gas p-40 p-47 p-51 so I know what im doing this was supposed to be a fun stress reliever but it did not fly. Please tell me what you did to get yours to fly. I tried the smaller lighter battery first and balanced at the proper cg. [/quote]
