I’m getting back into RC after a 30 break. I have always flown high-start or winch launched sailplanes but decided to go electric this time. I just picked up a Volantex Phoenix S 1600 since I don’t have areas near me to launch from. Landing should be fairly easy though In my limited space.
I have watched the video on this site several times regarding selecting the proper ESC, Motor and Battery. I think I have a grasp on it but wanted to run my upgrade choices by those that have perhaps been doing this a while.
I’ve selected a Powerdrive 28-30 1000kv motor that has an output of 370W. I will power this with a 3S 1550mAh 65C battery utilizing a 40A ESC. I plan on changing the prop out also to a 9 x 5.
Does this all sound reasonable? Have my math skills gone out the window? Tell it to me straight…………………………..I can take it!!
Thank you in advance and I look forward to spending time on this site reacquainting myself with this great hobby.
