My very first BL plane is taking shape and would appreciate your advice on lipo configurations and esc limits
The plane is a Phoenix EP trainer, 1330cm span and 1 to 1.2kg flying weight. The motor is a 980kV max 280W outrunner spinning an Aeronaut 10.5 x 6 prop. ESC is a Hobbywing P30A.
I currently have 2 packs of 2s 2000mAh 15c lipos, each used for less than 4 cycles in EP boats.
Would it be wise to connect the lipos in series and run 4s 2000mAh with this motor and esc? Or would it be better to buy a new 3s lipo and run a less aggressive voltage? Would the amp draw on 4s fry the esc?
I've tried a static test using a single 2s pack... temps were cool but the thrust may not be enough to achieve a good rate of climb.
Many thanks
