I use to build aircraft many many many decades ago, Times have changed, materials are different
I have bought various aircraft over the years, and am looking now to build a little again
My first question to anyone who can help. I am looking at two FT kits the Mini SE5 and the Mini DR1
The biggest question is with new rules these need to be under 250 grams and they are a little over and or
near that limit with the suggested motor and 3S battery. ( power pack )
[ I am also just looking at the plans perhaps to build my own and downsize the entire aircraft to accomplish
my desire ] any advice on that subject ?
SO the questions. To cut weight, can they be flown with a 2S battery and a smaller motor ( I know
they can be ) but what motor and what set up would one suggest to be able to do that and do so
successfully ?
Some newer UMX aircraft have some pretty strong motors and can be flown with 2 or 3S batts, is it possible
to use that style motor/set up in the FT SE5 mini and DR1 Mini kits ?
Thanks in advance
