Well I finally finished the Corsair this afternoon after we got home from Vera's dental appointment. Guess what, we managed to stop by Dairy Queen on the way home and have lunch, I bet that surprises everyone.I got all the controls programmed into the radio and then took it out to check the current draw of the motor. With a four cell battery pack I only had about 600 watts, not enough for an eight pound airplane. I changed to a six cell battery and then I had 1500 watts but the current to the motor was 67 Amps and it was only rated for 60. I changed props and then I had 1300 watts and 61 Amps which should work fine as the prop will unload in the air. Now I have four planes ready to test fly on the next nice day. Tomorrow I will start on number five for the Winter Build Challenge.
