P-38 Lightning - Balsa

[loderunner]

Thanks... Maidened the plane.. flew it twice. and decided that it does not have enuf power. So now it's grounded until I solve the power problem. The setup is 2xTurnigy 2205 1088kv 8A outrunner with 18 Amp ESC.

I bought 1 pair of GWS 3-blade counter rotating prop but decided that it it too soft. So I used a pair APC-style 8x5 standard direction instead.. that's when I discover the lack of power. Will be trying 9x5E.

I use 3S 2000 mAH batteries.

Oh man, the e-flite looks beautiful.. Where can you get it from and what is the price??

9x5e should be just nice but not sure whether your 18Amp esc can take it.
Ideally, it should be 25A.

e-filte P-38 can get from Amainhobbies :

Price is at US$117...excluding freight...
Now US $$ has gone up...*sigh*

Yeah.. but too bad, I sealed the ESCs inside the booms so I am stuck with them. I will probably get 2 new 15 Amps motors from UH. I am pretty sure my 18 Amps ESCs will be able to handle it (fingers crossed).

US$117 for that beauty is worth it.. Go for it!!!
