Hey everyone, my friends and I are head over heals excited about getting into flying RC planes, but we have a major impediment... We live in Iceland.
There are some problems with living in Iceland, mostly if you want something that you can't buy in the supermarket, it's very likely to be hard to find or it's going to be very expensive. This includes LiPo batteries as they cannot be shipped to Iceland. Fortunately I have a friend from the UK visiting me and he's managed to find us some 2200Mah 3S 30C batteries at short notice (there wasn't much choice) which is awesome but problematic.
Our plan is to make a shared hobbyking order and buy foamboard in Iceland but before we make an expensive mistake I wanted to ask some questions.
With the increased weight of the batteries (193 g) should I scale up the motor and print out size relative to the difference in battery weight? How large would that be?
What size motor and prop should I pair with this?
Is there anything else I haven't thought of?
