Hey everyone!
Just got into flying airplanes and loving it! I flew helis a few years back but adulting happened and didn't have time for it. Found this site and fell in love with the foam builds so I'm making the time for this.
I just did a scratch build of the FT MiG 3 and first flight went well. It was really gusty out today so I didn't really get a good feel for how smooth she flies so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I am interested in upping my battery from a 3s to a 4s since that's what was recommended in the video, but I had a couple of questions. Right now I'm flying a 2200mah battery and I was getting about 7 min flight times on my Bloody Barron before I brought her in. I imagine that's what I would get on my MiG if I had nice conditions to fly it in.
In the vid he uses a 4s 1600mah battery. Are mah between 3s and 4s comparable? If I go from 2200 3s to 1600 4s should I expect much shorter flight times?
Also I noticed he's using a 70c battery. Is that necessary to have such a high C rating if I'm flying with the C pack?
