    12S, 35A ESCs for Electric airplane project?

    I am looking for advice on ESCs for a manned electric airplane that I am currently building. I posted in the aircraft section but that doesn't get much traction (pardon the pun) and I figured this group would have the most experience with these ESCs My ultralight will use 14 1.7kW BLDC motors...

    That MONI is very cool!. Understand the prop constraint but then I looked for aft folding props (side folding won't help the drag problem) I didn't find anything that would be big enough. You will need the prop diameter to be significantly bigger then wing chord for propulsion efficiency? Have...

    I don't think that it would be the best for a motor glider due to the higher drag when the propellers are windmilling. I think that you would be better off with a single larger motor that can be retracted or have a aft folding propeller for lowest cruise drag.

    Finally started my electric aircraft build

    Hi all, I realized that I haven't been on the forums in a long while but I am starting my next EV project and I figured that those on the forum would be interested in following along and have want to give their input (constructive or otherwise : -) EV Challenger, EP1: The electric airplane...

    A123 20Ah cells price down to 17.50$ per cells?

    I just ordered 8 of these 20ah cells from a chinese source for testing to see if they are what they claim to be. I was programming my charger looking for charge/discharge specs when I stumbled upon this page. I am interested in a group by at this price as well, anf can't wait to hear more. I...
