    Cheers again,   two batteries in parallel looks like the way to go, that would solve the engine failure worry.   With the two esc`s in this set up, you have to disable the bec system on one of the esc, that is right? or with a model of this size, is it best to disable both and run thr rx on it`s own battery system.

    Thanks guys for your coments.   So if I have this A26 Airframe and run 2x 750w motors & 2x Esc, (one motor per side). Is it best to run two batteries, one for each engine / motor. or would it be best to run both motors off one battery.    Cheers Chris

    Hope hope to pass my "A" in the next four to six months. Just waiting for the club trainer  to maiden my planes & the weather so i can start trainning.     I`ve been on the flight sim for nearly a year now (Aerofly deluxe) as well as flying my ex ic  30 Raptor & electric eskey belt cp heli`s.  Sold my 2nd hand ic raptor last year after 2 unlucky chashes. The cash brought me 2 new electric planes & watt meter (T6 & Innovator). Found the cost of repairing the raptor too much, with 6 six kids etc.   I love building planes, foamies or balsa scatch build from plans & very cheap to fix. I have almost ready double delta (balsa) free plan rc model world augt ed 2008.   I picked up the A26 short kit for a "tenner" club bring and buy, looks  a great model to build.  you can`t beat a big target goal, fly it next year?. if not me then to see it fly what i built would be fantastic.   Cheers Chris.  Will keep this project updated as I built.

    Cheers Vince,   The kit only has, 2 set of full size plans, various plastic moulds, 2x engine covers etc. 2x ply firewalls & 2x pre cut white foam cores for wings.  there is no wood or balsa includes in short kit see photo. there is a bill of materials for the list of balsa, ply needed etc.   So a clean sheet as to what grades of lite ply & balsa need. Should be fun, It is a long trem project I think,  would love to get this one flying. Though i`m not able to fly this one yet, got to pass my A first then a year exp. flying.  so ive got this year to build and hopefully ready to fly for next season. currently fliging my GWST6 & Innovator trainer.   Cheers Chris.

    Jon.   The yellow t6 is the nps. one, you get all the kit, but no power system. hope this helps.   Chris.

    Yes I`ve have the mag. thanks.   Just looking at options. will proberly go with lipo`s option setup.   Here is a few pics... see what a great model it could be.     And box lid info ....   Looks cool.  anyone got any good paint themes?   If i lighten the build. being an ic kit, which areas could i lighten in build with ply & balsa. or does the eletric model same size need same frame stability. need to safe as safty first & it`s a large model.   Cheers Chris C.

    Thanks Timbo,   I was looking at around 850watts per engine. your suggections are great, makes it alot cheaper for setup than expected.  I`ld be going for the lightest flight setup around 7.5 lbs. Batterys do not have to be lipo`s, other nicad suggetions welcome.   just playing around with power set ups now, in planning stage,  so save time and money   Will post a few photo of basic kit later, so you  can see the scale of this project.   Cheers Chris.

    what motor brand is it and could you let us know the watt power rating.   i`m using a 11x7 prop on my innovator, motors is rated at 350 watts @1200kv on 3S / 2200 lipo, I get around 5/6 mins flight time 10 mins if i use 2x 2200 lipo in par. eg 11.1v / @ 4400mah. hope this helps Chris Chaplin

    The Esky lama 3/4 is a good place to start, they are cheap to repair too. there are also loads of mods and upgrades for them once you mastered fling it. after flying the this one,next step would be esky king 2 , with full 6 ch in pitch ,head lock gyros. then te-rex 450 range or bigger 600. or nitro ones raptor or align heli`s, but i suggest you join a club if flying anything bigger than a king 2.  i`ve got the belt cp. good but tricky to master. im now flying fixed wing too - seagull innovator (electric) Good luck, flying.
