Space and CoG also need to be considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Boy 3 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Hi Shaun, the Horizan Artizan foamy is first in line with loads of space. Then there is the Pushycat ( lately on forum) Not quite ready is Peter Millars “Easter Eagle, a glider. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike T Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Off the top of my head I'd say 1000 to 1300. 800 might be good. 1800 probably a bit too much. 2200 is right out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 3 cell 1800-2200 lipos Eric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 For my Pushy cat I used 3 cell 2200, gave a decent flight time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Overweight for a 48" 'sedate' model I'd say. Useful ballast in a wind, but I'd max at 1800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers The Atrizan recommends 1800 to 2200 mAh and the Easter Eagle power system on 4-Max uses a 1000mAh 3s. the 2200 would probably bo OK for the Pushy Cat too.

Mike T Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The first coupe of posts conjured up an image (for me) of a floaty sport/glider type, but I can see that the Artizan looks a bit more than that! 🤨 All the models mentioned have manufacturer/designer recommendations associated with them, so it begs the question - why the question? Is google no longer our friend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Boy 3 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Thanks for all the info lads as I do appreciate the gen on electrics in my old age. Been flying for over thirty five years, all ic. Before Google was ever thought of. All info was shared by our flying friends byword of mouth, not a machine called Google. When my wife of sixty years of marriage passed away. I did have a break. It was so good to communicate via this exellent forum that kept me going on my return. Thank you all. A forum with friends beats a machine all hands down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Well that'll learn me! The little voice in my head told me not to poke, but would I listen? 😄 Sorry for your loss Eric and I'm glad that this kind of activity brings some solace. Yes, of course the advice of knowledgeable friends should generally be valued above that of some blokes on a forum. Yet here we are... 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Boy 3 Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 No hard feelings at all Mike, you were unaware of my circumstances. I was not upset one bit. This is why I love this forum. Cheers Mike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
