[RCSE] I'm in Aruba and you're not :-)
Got in at 8pm tonite, not a long air ride actually and the time zone is only an hour ahead of Eastern USA. I have no idea of what things look like yet cuz its really dark here. Wireless Internet access isn't the greatest at his hotel, and its a pretty fancy joint. I'm hoping to make some contact with local pilots here. More later, early call on the beach tomorrow.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #6696: LMR motor for Pike Superior
The one thing that would concern me with a BEC on a higher cell count set up is the remaining charge in your cells when the cutoff occurs. The BEC cuts off at a certain voltage; divide that by the number of cells to get what each cell is still holding - as you add cells, that gets smaller. I'm doing Sesame Street math here, but the gist is you're cutting the margin closer as you add cells. A ship of any size shouldn't complain about a small Nimh receiver pack; I've seen too many hour long flights end in a terminal dive because someone didn't have enough charge in a 2000mah pack to drive an elevator servo...

I am running a 1506 2D 6.71 gearbox on 10 GP 3300s with terrific results. 80 amps with an 18x10 prop in an electric Escape. It's smoother than a Hacker and I can talk to the people who built it on the phone. I had some range issues with a UBEC too. Now that I have a little 4 cell AAA pack in there the worry of motive pack failure is gone as are the range issues. If a cell goes bad in the motive pack or something else it's still a glider! Dan Neelands Dan That is a very small battery for a full house glider. I have been up with my Graphite-E, Topaz-E for many over 1 hr flights. I use 4x1650 nimh AA for my flight pack. I don't like BEC either. Both my plane pull well into the low 3-digits current. Any cell failure on the motor pack or the failure on the ESC will send your plane into free-flight.
