Saturday three weeks ago Ken had his new 4.2m wingspan Electric glider at the club. It is a real beauty !
It uses a Hyperion outrunner 4025/12 with a 6S2P battery set up ( 3300mah to 4000mah packs - Hyperion batteries) swinging a 15 x 8 foldable prop and 80 amp "Opto" Hyperion controller. .This Ken claims gives him at least 8 launches ( whilst in the air) on one charge.
Launching it for the first time was a bit tricky as I found it difficult to get a grip This finally worked out, it was reasonably straight forward and she went off with plenty of power to spare
Guess what I will be building soon ?........
