P68C Advice

If you use these 1800 20c batteries you will probably be better off getting  four of a similar size that you can use in other aircraft and double them up as Gareth suggested. I recently purchased 4 flight max  2200ma 3s 20c from hobby city for about $11 each with postal cost of $26 total of $70 or about £45 at current exchange rates. We were talking of  a 40a max requirement, but in reality you will probably fly your twin for most of the time on less than 20a draw, so they will be ideal.  They are also a usefull size for other small to medium size single motor aircraft.

Thanks Phil, Gareth suggested the same.

Something along the lines of a 3s 2200mah 25c that can be used in my blade 400 and my 3d 400.

Found some good prices on raj's website think it was around 19.99 per lipo and on on the hobbyking site.

May just buy a couple to start with and work from there.

Well things have come together now and have almost finished the nacelles they are on and in place but need a little modding for the esc rx wires.

Now thinking about the rx and rather than using a Ar7000 I am going to use a Ar500 to save a little on weight?.

Mike,

The AR500 will work find for this job, it wont allow you to do flaps but i dont think you would need then anyway.

I look forward to seeing this fly.
