b101_uk 10 Posted September 5, 2011 Fair play, but why bother? it’s a little like perfecting chocolate teapots and fireguards when you could just put a normal engine on it and more than quadruple your duration and power for the same weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are benefits to electric motors, smoother delivery, more torque, higher rpm, less moving parts etc. The batteries are the only downside in todays current technological climate, this is what's holding back a lot of tech from hitting mainstream. My little electric Walkera 4-3Q remote heli flies pretty well, if only for a limited flight time. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
