Still Learning
Does 355 grams complete, all RC, prop, motor (B pack), three servos, no battery sound about right? If I added a battery, it would (I hope) fly. I tend to build using too much glue! Of the props I have on hand, the 8x4.5 slo fly seemed to use a fair amount of power (130 watts) without overheating.
I need to renew ecalc...
OK, I did. The 8x4.5 should work fine with these weights. The numbers ecalc reports match the readings I took with my watt meter. The 10x4.7 is over-propped according to ecalc and yep, I did get the motor hot. I only ran it that way for 5-10 seconds, so it wasn't damaged.
