Battery socket of the Mini Corsair

[Cookie83610]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and I'm highly interested by this incredible site, forum and video channel, what a great content !

My question is about the FT Mini Corsair that I just receive, I've not assembly it yet, but I'd like to order some batteries to prepare the maiden.

I'd like to order Tattu like this one, but I don't know dor sure if this lipo can fit in this plane. Can someone give me some details/dimensions about the battery socket ?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Cookie,

I did some checking on this and...

Looking at the build on the website, it looks like the only dimension you should worry about is the width.

I checked the battery from the link. It is 30mm wide.


I downloaded the plans and measured the width of the power pod mount. 1.22 X 25.4 = 31mm


Looks like it will fit to me.

Good luck on the build!

You're right, the width is important, but I'm also worried about the thickness of the battery. It must fit just beside this wooden stick, and on the picture, it's a 21.5mm battery and it's look like there is no free space between it and the stick, the Tattu is thick of 24mm (2.5mm more thick). Will it be too thick for the placeholder ?

Thank you very much for your help, much appreciate.

Salut des Etats-Unis!
Le Corsair est un avion qui ma goute beacoups. Je vois que les deux connecteurs sont XT30. Ces vont bien.

On peut achete 75C mais il non est necessaire pas achete avec 75C. Je ne me souviens pas bien parler en Français. Higher C batteries normally cost more but I couldn't find prices on the link you shared. You battery your choice.

Bien venue au forum.

Yeah, 75C is overkill in my case, but the cost of this batteries is not higher than other with lower C rate. I've already Tattu lipos for my FPV racer and very pleased with, so I'll take again some batteries of this good brand.

Thank you for your almost French response Jim ! =D

Then you could choose Tattu 850mAh 45C, a little cheaper and Less height.

It's a good idea, but in France and around, we found in store almost only 75C (and mostly 1300 and 1550ma), so it's impossible to find this model.

Of course that would fit. Good luck with it
