I am pulling 58 amps at 1240 watts spinning the 15 x 10.
Max current for the Hacker is 50 amps continous with burst at 70, so I am pretty happy that most of the time I will be well under 50 amps.
I have spent today finishing of the fiddly bits. The bad news is that I needed to add another 230 grams to balance it. So the final flight weight is now 5.7kgs.
So as Jason suggested landing approaches will be a lot of fun because airspeed will need to be kept quite high, funny thing is most of the videos I've seen show the aircraft landing at an average sort of pace, so it must have very efficient flaps. I will be paying particular attention to my high altitude stall tests on the maiden.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
