| This is a brief introduction.I'm a Robbe rep.Igot this electric start with the purchase of an EOLO.First I searched for a brushless motor and esc.Wow, I found a whole new aspect of this wonderful hobby.I'm the compulsive type so I have been learning everything I possible can about electric helicopters.My current project is the electric conversion of a Raven-50.I have to thank Fed Bronk for his mount and more important,his time.The motor is a Mega 22/45/3 the esc I chose is aSchulz 32-40k and most importantly the THUNDER-POWER batteries.8200mahs ABSOLUTELY UNREAL! I really only expected longer flights.What I got is 3-d to the limit,no slowing down,vertical shots to the moon performance.I only got to test this combo last night .I got to try it, soft starts are cool and very kind to the geartrain,to check my blade tracking,ect.5 mins is all I used to get with 1700mahs.The second flight I flew much more agressive-9 mins.I checked the battery temp, cool, not even warm,one more 5 min flight and it was time to go out to dinner.Total time aprox. 20 mins and no zero not even a little loss of power.This Is BIG for the hobby in general.Finally enough power to not have to fly 5 -10 mins with a flimsey lighter than strong enough to land birds.Thank Goodness for Charlie Wang.
