Alberta Need to Match a Plane to my Batteries


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I have an abundance of batteries for my Blade CX3 and was wondering if there were any park flyers or micro's that could use the batteries as well.
They are Eflite 2S 7.4 800Mah 10C batteries. I have more than ten of em and would love to use em with a fixed wing aircraft.

Thanks

Re: Need to Match a Plane to my Batteries

800mAh 2S lipos would be good to power anything in the 6-12oz range. There are several planes that could fit the bill from 3D ships to small parkflyers, either scratchbuilt's or ARF's.

Any idea on what you are interested in flying? Do you want to build your own or buy RTF?

A few examples:

Scratchbuilds/kits:

- piYak EPP 3D foamie
- Nutball 3ch RET foamie
- Clik (plans can be found here in the Indoor forum)
- GWS Pico Stick
- StevensAero SkyBuggy (balsa)
- Mountain Models (there are several planes under 12oz)

ARF/RTF:

- E-Flite S.E.5.a (foamie)
- E-Flite Jenny JN-4 (foamie)
- E-Flite L-4 Grasshopper (balsa)
- Parkzone J-3 Cub (foamie)
- Hobby Lobby Micro Telemaster (balsa)

Re: Need to Match a Plane to my Batteries

And that's why I ask questions. I completely forgot about those Eflite kits.
If I remember correctly they require a 250 outrunner and 10 esc which these batteries should be able to handle.
Thank you very much.

Re: Need to Match a Plane to my Batteries

my worry was the low 10c discharge rate. Most setups I have found require a 15c ore better. Didn't want to puff the batteries.
