Electric Spike put through testing!

 

Thanks to Test Pilot James Fisher who volunteered to set up the Spike for use with electric power.

Specs.

1700kv 35-30 brushless outrunner motor ( pulling about 350W on a 8x6 prop )

50 amp speed controller

3000mah 35c 11.1v lipo battery

8x6 ACP prop

 

A few quotes fro James:-

Hi Martin, had a quick go tonight. Fly's well ,fast and very stable. The speed controller is inside the fuselage ,all that's on display is the battery and motor. I'll drop you a couple of photo's this week. It's got me hooked, I've even bought a .25 motor. I think the next buy will be a Bogey or the Vantage Type A when it comes out. Cheers James

 That's it really it was an easy and enjoyable conversion. The receiver is in the middle of the wing and the speed controller in the fuselage. Flies well and I wouldn't mind betting it's as fast as the nitro model.

Thanks for doing the testing James, most appreciated,

James also tested the new trap-door servo installation in the wing!
