Re: [RCSE] Electric Gentle Lady
Hi, If you want a nice Gentle Lady( Electra), use the master airscrew 3.5 box, monster truck motor( they call it something else now, but available) and the 12X8 master airscrew prop. I had this setup in an Electra and it was great. As for batteries, 1000, 1400, 1700, or 2000 will work fine. I have used all of them, no problem. With 1700 or 2000 cells, you can expect 30 min flights in dead air. Someone said something about too much power. You can never have enough I compete in LMR electric glider now and have a glider with 253 watts per pound and I'm trying to improve it over the winter!

[RCSE] Electric Gentle Lady
Harold Ochs wrote about where to get a battery pack. I'm sure www.srbatteries.com (site's not complete use the site to get the phone number) or Cermark (714) 680-5888 can provide. But, I must comment that a 05 motor with a 12 X 8 prop on a Gentle Lady seems like gross overpowering and might rip the wings off! I flew a SR Batteries X-440 on a Speed 400 with a 7-cell KR600AE pack and it did fairly well. It's better with a brushless 020 and a 11 X 8 prop, but it's also bigger than a Gentle Lady. The 800 maH pack will also be heavy and quite a load for a Genle Lady to lug around. If you havn't visited the on-line electric flight magazine the E-Zone Magazine (www.ezonemag.com), take a look.
