Hey guys, first post, love this stuff, I have a little heli but my passion was always for planes - and now I can afford it. I'm all ready to crash my first 4 dollar foam plane! woo hoo! not even gonna paint it 😜
So that brings me to the swappable. At first I thought there was this universal power pack that could be switched between all these planes but as I continue to read and look at this plans it seems that each plane needs a slightly different prop/motor/esc and battery combo.
So you can aways drive a powerful setup a little slower, but you can't make a slower setup faster
***So what I want to know is:
Can I buy the electronics setup that would be powerful enough to fly the FT Racer/FT Spitfire/FT Baby Blender with the power that they show in the reviews. but still be able to use on a slower plane. I'm still a noob so a slow flyer to get the handle of the controls would be nice. My theory is that with a Tx that will allow me to adjust the expos and % throttle etc. I could tone down a powerful setup so I don't over power/correct and when I'm ready for the plane to go faster and turn harder I'll just turn those values up.
I'm a bit on the cheap side and I'd hate do dump $55-60 bucks on a setup that I will out grow, or that wouldn't power the spitfire/racer (I really like the way those flew in the review). Preferably I'd like to train on the spit fire it looked to have a low stall speed and easier to fly.
As I get better I'd like to turn up the speed. Is the way I want to do it realistic? Could I use the Tx to "dumb" down a decent power house and crank it up 75-80-85-90-100% as my skills improve. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks buying the right equipment and not have to replace it between planes.
I'm looking to start with the Fly Sky FS-T6, it's cheap enough and has a 20 mode memory so I could basically save the throttle and servo settings for the different planes as I transfer my power pod between them.
Sorry for the long winded explanation. if you need any more details let me know. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
oh! one more thing.... I noticed one of the suppo motors could use 11 or 15 volts. Is this accomplished just by changing from a 3s to 4s battery (provided the esc could handle it)?
