Default RE: Vickers Wellington project

I just finished up my 4 10S packs for my Wellington I am converting to electric. I even added 2 sets of balancing plugs so I could balance using a Astro flight 123 blinky. It appears to work really well. Also I am using the Astroflight 112D charger and it charges well...I made my balancing plug using standard male plugs from MPI and also 22 gauge servo wire.

Here are my pic's

Ty I can see that elec has a big advantage and in another 7 years or so thats all you will see. I have nothing at all in elec. What do you think is the app cost you will have in your set up. Thanks Rich

Rich,
I am looking at about $385 per Nacelle for this one. You have to look around for good deals, if you went retail its about $50 more


Batteries $85 x2
speed control $150
motor $150
-------------------------------
$385

If you figure 2 G-26's new that $600, so its really not to much more for electric on this one. But you also would have an intial cost of a charger and watt meter also but I already had those
