I think the Tiger 46 is a little slack for that plane. I think my friend has a 51 in his. The electric info was from another thread where some top flyers chimed in about full sized stunters.

I don't think Les's Tiger 46's were "Slack".

Then why did you use a 60?

MM

Thanks MM, Randy and Joe.
So, Joe, I'm wondering if I drop the kv rating, sticking with either the 3520, or even dropping to the 3515, and choose a 5S pack, maybe less capacity, what the difference would be?
I know that W=A x V, so in theory, the same wattage can be had (enough to pull the plane well) by using a lower kv rated motor, and probably the same weight battery, with more cells, less capacity....
But, the question comes down to, "What will be the advantage or disadvantage, really, what will be the difference in the system"?
My gut says that a higher voltage system may be more efficient and produce less heat? A lower rated esc might also weigh less and be smaller and still run the system.

I wonder, I'm sure someone has used a higher kv motor on 4S, svc the same motor with a lower kv on 5S; I would love to hear their impression of this in the same plane.

R,

Thanks Joe.
Sounds like the 3515 is enough motor if I can keep the build light....
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Hahaha, I'm good with a laugh this morning, Tim, thanks.
You're right though, it's not worth nit picking every last detail (unless you're me? LOL).
I have several suggestions above, I'm sure any of which will work fine...
I'll be better equipped to make a decision when I open the box and start building. I did learn a few things on the ARF I put together, and will surely apply the info learned to this project when it's started.
Stiletto is a sexy beast....
