Techpod 6 cell 10,000 mah test flight

Posted by crystal garris on March 3, 2013 at 10:30pm

Went and flew at 60 acres today. only had time for a 20 minute test flight. the camera was out of focus and it was getting dark. This was flown with a foxtech 370 kv motor , two 5000 mah 6s lipos, APC 12x8, castle ICE 50 ESC, minum OSD and APM2.5 (data logging only for now)

This is from the logger on the ESC. and full log from ESC from the looks of it I am good for well over 3 hours flight time.

    12*8 on the foxtech

    I would use a hs-82 for the elevator. I flew the foxtech and 2 x 5000 mah set up and it flew well. It will weigh close to 7 lbs when your done. FYI this is an extreme load out and is not recommended for the newb pilot, not that you are. I would balance it with one 5 amper for the maiden flight. also I recommend you ad some lamination film to the bottom of the wings. The spar is plenty strong however the bow creates a lot of unwanted dihedral. pm me if you need some laminate. The stall speed will be pretty high, about 19-20 mph so give your self plenty of room to land and have a buddy give it a real good throw.

    What prop were you swinging on the 370kv?

    the G10 wont do 6s. I usedthis motor to do 6s. the G10 will only to 4s max

    Ordered some parts.  On 6s, what prop would you recommend on the G10 810kv?

    Thanks!

    Hey Wayne, finally had the chance to unbox this beast and start giving it some thought.

    You still think this is the best setup?   foxtech 370 kv motor , two 5000 mah 6s lipos, APC 12x8, castle ICE 50 ESC

    I was going to go with 6 x HS-65MG servos....would those be OK for the elevator as well?

    Thanks!

    Do you know of a way to sync it to a subsecond resolution? That seems worthwhile to me. Expensive, yes, but valuable.

    Has anyone used the SX460HS?  I've been looking at that one, and I wonder why you'd prefer the S100/110 over that one.

    Back on topic, getting antsy waiting on my Techpod!
