Flown the Freewing Avanti on stock 6S, wemotec 8S and more recently Kingtech K45 G3 turbine. Time to go large...so just completed maiden flight on a 1.9 metre Sebart Avanti XS.
FAN/MOTOR: Schubeler DS-86-AXI HDS SFF Tenshock X-501 5,5Y 810kV
SPEED CONTROLLER: YGE 205HVT BEC 12A/30A ESC
14S 12000 Mah LIPO
MAX PERFORMANCE:
Current: 140 A
Thrust: 95 N
Exhaust speed: 95 M/S
This being the first flight I kept to simple circuits of the flying field using full throttle for the passes down the runway and backing off to half throttle for the downwind leg. Fairly windy day but it was down the strip and no doubt that assisted the early take off. Despite that I held in full elevator until the jet got airborne and then decreased to prevent stall. First landing attempt was aborted due to overshooting but the second was spot on after taking a slightly longer approach and staying low so as not to pick up any speed. After landing the pack voltages were at 44% usable capacity remaining so a 5.5 to 6 minute flight time would be achievable. All in all a successful maiden flight on 14S12000 lipo. We are going to be putting together a Lion pack that will have much higher capacity and give around 9 minute flights.
