Stuart Marsden Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have just purchased a secondhand AcrowotMK2 and wonder what setups people have used inc battery size and likely flight times for mixed flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The "best electric set up" - now there's a tall order In mine I'm using an OS 5020, with a 3000mAh 6s all turning a 14x7. That gives me just over 1kW, a massive amount of power for this aeroplane which can yield absolutely limitless vertical performance if you want - but,....better,...gives good aerobatic performance on 1/2 to 2/3 throttle and 10 min plus flight times! Happy days. BEB Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 11/11/2016 10:36:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom39 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ive run a Scorpion SII 4020 (older version) Think its 470 KV on a 17X10 APCE with 6 S (5000 mAh) approx 1500W . ESC was a 70amp Hacker. It was the only motor I had spare at the time and somewhat overpowered . The airframe has now been retired and I'm using the same setup on the Wots Wot ARTF. (It will happily prop hang if you are that way inclined ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith 50 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Posted by Stuart Marsden on 11/11/2016 10:21:39: I have just purchased a secondhand AcrowotMK2 and wonder what setups people have used inc battery size and likely flight times for mixed flying. With is current setup on a 6s 5000 pack it will do 8 mins nicely, but if you use a smaller prop (I can't remember the one I had on previously) it will 10. It currently has bags of power, so using a slightly smaller prop to gain some flight time won't be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith 50 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Have a look at this thread, a similar question was asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Marsden Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 The Acrowot has now flown and with the recommended c of g is beautifully stable and true whilst having a snap roll to die for. I will post all the gear set up once I have also experimented with different props and watt metre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
