Great Planes Ultimate Bipe 160 ELECTRIC!!
Hi guys,
Just a quick note to let you know that tomorrow i am picking up my new Ultimate!!! WHOOO HOO!
Here is a link to the model...
http://www.greatplanes.com/performance/ ... a1307.html
She has a 65 inch wingspan and is meant for a 160 glow engine, but i will be flying it with a Hacker A60-16M electric motor, using a 100 amp Castle Creations ESC and running twin 5 cell 5000mah batteries in series.
There are 6 Hitec 5496 servos for the ailerons and rudder, and a HT- 5665 servo for the rudder....
Unfortunately, this is a "christmas preasent" from my wife, although she doesn't know it yet...lol
So, i will not be flying it untill the spring, but it is going to be one HOT airplane!!!
I may have to change my avatar...lol
