Pat King electric Ringmaster 150

I built this electric Ringmaster 150 from one of Pat King's (patdk@aol.com) laser cut kits.
Pat's kit comes with plans for either IC engine or an electric motor power.
Motor = Turnigy C2826 1350 KV (from hobbyking.com)
ESC = Castle Creations Phoenix 25 Amp
Timer = Will Hubin FM9 (whubin@kent.edu)
Prop = APC light Electric 7 x 5 pusher
Battery = 3 cell 750 mah (Rhino brand from hobbyking.com)
Covering = Ultracote
Flight ready weight = 8.9 oz
I used a carbon fiber push rod with a clevis and a Great Planes small nylon control horn.
I also set up the leadouts to be adjustable.
Here are a few photos:

Very nice. Forgive the stupid question, but: 150 square inch? It must be around 20-22 inch span?
How long of flights are you getting, and how much do you put back into the battery at the end of the flight?

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Tim,
Yes the 150 stands for 150 sq inch wing area.
The wing span is 26 1/2 inches with a root chord of 6 1/2" and a tip chord of 5 1/4" giving and an area of 150 sq inches when wing tips are included.
I only have data from static tests for mah used and in that case 4 minutes uses 531 mah. I would expect that in flight the load will drop 8 to 10% so between 4 and 5 minutes would be reasonable guess (all tests so far have been with the timer set at 1 minute).

Way To Go John (& Pat)
Lotsa thrust available from that 7x5P, at 8.9 oz the prop won't even know there is an airplane behind it! Gonna be fun...
