Dennis, do you know if John is planning on putting together a complete package of the recommended hardware and parts necessary to set up the Vector for electric power? It seems to me that would be the next step.
I have considered making the jump to E-power but would like to be able to buy a package ready to assemble and eat, that is a result of E-pioneers like you, Bob Hunt and countless others having done the legwork. Lazy? Yeah, a little, but I'm not 25 anymore.
Hi Dick
If you go to the Brodak site, click on "Electric", a page titled "Electric Information" comes up. The first item on that page is "Arrowind Power Systems" Click on that and it will how you a list of systems avalable from 02 equivalent through 65 equivalent. Obviously this chart is set-up around the Brodak Arrowind components, but you can also use it as a guideline if you want to use Brand X motors or Brand Y lipos, etc.
The real key to the chart is the "Prop Size" column, which is the closest way to link the IC engine sizes to the electric sizes. For example the EPS-35 system does a really nice job turning a 10" prop - but I have also used it with an 11" & a 9" prop. BTW, this power system would be absolutely PERFECT for a Spirit of Saginaw-E!
For a Vector I'd go with the "EPS-40 PRO" items. Brodak does NOT have this set up as a single click to order, you have to order ala carte, but the stock numbers are shown on the sheet. I would also recommend the "upgrade" charger, the GT-A6 (#BH-1858)
Since this sheet was created the KR Timer was introduced. It has a lot of nice features and if you were to use it then order the EPS-40 Sport package - sans the timer - and then get the Timer from RSM...
