| C50 19XL Hacker on 8S4P thunder power lipolies, power is ballistic with 12 tooth pinion, flights need to be 10 minutes or less, I generally fly two 8 minute flights, due to heating. With onboard cooling fan (mikado part) temps are Ok for a full length flight of 16~18 minutes. With 11 tooth pinion, temps are Ok without the fan for complete flight, but just barely. This is a high-performance setup, so things are pushed quite hard, hence the temps. You could go with a milder "sport" motor like the pletti's to keep temps down and such, but I don't find that nearly as much fun.  |
