Hey gals and guys!
I am trying to get the gear together to build a Bushwhacker (God I love that plane). However, being in the UK I'm going to have to source the electronics individually and, at times, approximate to the closest equivalent available.
Since I'm not exactly experienced with electric flight, I'd like to know if what I've chosen will work for this plane. Any tips or suggestions are welcome.
Motor:
EMAX Brushless Motor GT2218-09 KV1100
It is 80KV lower and 10g heavier than the one FT uses (but I doubt that will make any difference right?). Takes the same cell and runs at a similar Amp level (20-30 Amps in most setups from what I gather).
Will be using a 10x4.7 prop as recommended for this motor and as suggested by FT.
ESC:
Not so sure about the esc, but was thinking of going with a Tower Pro H40 Amp ESC 50AMP Burst. Should be enough cushion right?
Battery:
Overlander Supersport 2200 mAh 3S 11.1v 30C Li-Po
The specs seem electrically good but it's 150 grams. Isn't that a lot?
Servos:
The only 9g servos I could find are these: EMAX 9g Budget Micro Servo. Kinda worried about durability here, they seem cheap. The only better ones are heavier though. Will going for say 12g servos make a big difference? Or are these emax ones in fact good enough?
TX/RX:
Finally, the transmitter receiver combo is going to be a Flysky FS-T6. This one looks like a bit of a chinese hunk of junk - is it? The price is very tempting but if it's garbage I'd rather spend a little extra and get more bang for my buck haha.
Any help and suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you!
