On the C pack I have used up to a 9x6, you could even do a 10x45 for the slower stuff to keep it more docile if that's what you are looking for, Just to kick the can some. And the 30 amp ESC will handle it fine, actually if you like to err on the side of caution go to a 35 amp ESC to eliminate any brown outs or over heating if you have one kicking around.
Man if it wasn't for these forums I would have given up on this hobby a long time ago. Before I got on here I was so confused as to what I was doing, a lot of guess work, trial and error, and a lot of confusing advice from the LHS talking to different clerks every time.
How long ago were you flying last and what models?
Right on. I have the 35amp esc that came with the b power pack so all good there. I did want to play with prop sizes too so good info man.
I really love what FT is doing and doing for the hobby. I can't believe how much fun I'm having with this cubbie and just how resilient it is. 2 nose in crashes, hit a park block on approach when the head wind died and even hit a poll...just at sunset lol... with the wing and...some tape, little bit of hot glue and she just flies.
So, I was in to flying for a few years in mid 2000s. Mostly a parkzone corsair that I loved to scale fly. Imagine I'm the new pilot in VMF214 hoping to be puppy's wing man some day lol. Arizona State's west campus let's us fly out in a big parking lot with some fields around it. Always a group of guys there on the weekends with everything from trex choppers to edf jets and drones. They do a lot of night flying too.
Had a slow stick I played with for a while. Letting , my buddy use it now since he's just getting into the hobby. Or, I should say he's FCRR'ing it lol.
So, back then I was happy with just the stock corsair and didn't really tweak or test much. The guys out at ASU we're always helpful but also teased the hell out of me for being pretty timid...all in good fun. But now, I'm glad i stripped all the good stuff outta the destroyed corsairs. Still have a few 480 motors and a pile of servos and a few 30amp secs. That's allowing me to do things like build a new cub wing and add flaps. Didn't have a forum like this back then so I'm really enjoying it and taking advantage of it. Things can go south and burn up if you really don't know what your doing....right? Always good to ask hey...what are you doing...first...lol.
Working on cutting out and building a new fuselage. Current one is pretty beat up and getting some wonky stuff in air. So cool that FT just gives away the plans. Don't have to drop big $$$ when you get cocky and RIP your motor and nose off lol. I went through 3 complete corsairs lol. The last one, was flying in my hood using the street as a runway. On approach was a home that kinda simulated the approach at San Diego lindberg field coming over the parking garage. Was about 8' too low and yea... corsair didn't fair too well lol. Then, life intervenes with work, couple more surgeries from years of beer league hockey and... busy off doing other stuff. So glad I'm back into it now. Forgot how much fun it is. Just being out at the field with the guys, giving each other a hard time...like the locker room back in my hockey days.
🤣
