Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a crazy idea that I need your help with. As a child I was inspired by the Kyosho Hyperfly which was a great little 2 channel heli that flew more like an aeroplane.
Now I managed to get two incomplete kits from ebay including one with the apache body kit. Now this thing originally flew on a 480 brushed motor with no speed control, just a switch. Which was fine in the days of NiCd batteries when you could run them until they were sluggish and they would not be damaged. But with NiMH or LiPo things are not as forgiving. I was wondering could I use the internals from My broken Hobby Zone Super Cub? It ran on a geared 480 motor with a 3cell LiPo and has an inbuilt ESC in the receiver board, this would be used as a switch until landing time. But I don't know what the current rating is for the ESC. The original hyperfly was 6cell NiCd has an inline fuse or 20A so that gives an idea of current draw that will be required.
Any help on this would be great!
Cheers
John
