I decided to build my China Clipper for E-power, rather than the Score or Legacy discussed in prior post. The Clipper is a beautiful Claus Maikis design equally beautifully laser cut by Kyle Tankersley. It has two big, functional air scoops on the side of the nose and a ready-made top hatch, so is a great choice. 700" area, or about 670" if I delete the swoopy tips to fit it in the car. Would be around 55 - 60 oz as an IC model.
Anyway, I have on loan a new AXI 2826-10 920kv motor, plus an ICE 50 ESC and a new Hubin timer. The top motor choices in the other post are the TGY SK42-50 650kv and the Scorpion 3026 II 710kv. I now understand that the number of cells and ma needs to match the kv of the motor to get rpm in the right range and provide enough endurance. I will be using the new APC 13" pusher when it is available.
Between the AXI 2826, the Scorpion 3026, and TGY 42-50, is there any meaningful difference in ability to pull a model this size, assuming appropriate battery? Alan I believe mentioned the AXI and Scorpion are very similar. By the way the AXI has a 35mm outer diameter.
