Hi George
Just thought I would give you a little update on my Super Tucano.
The last few times I've flown it (at PEMAC) it has been pulsing a lttle at full throttle, and that is something that bother me.
I have never been quite happy with its flight performance, even though it did fly without issue on 6S. Its all round performance just seemed to be a little less spontaneous than I would have liked. (I think Iv'e been flying high power models for to long).
Anyway to cut to the chase I am doing a big power up and installing my Hacker A60-24S (197kv)
After doing a lot of calculations thanks to our good friends at ecalc, I will be running it in 12S with a 16 x 10 3 blade Master airscrew prop, I was going to run it on 10S but the maths didn't work with that weight and the top speed would have been slower than I wanted.
So there you have it... I will make up a mount for it at work and still have to work out where to fit the batteries etc, but we will get that sorted out.
I am going to up my reciever and run a biggger Spectrum AR12120 with dual power supplies with back up redundancy, I am happy to spend the money for piece of mind when it comes to contol surfaces and power outs!
Anyway watch this space I hope to have it in the sky in the next few weeks.
