Default Re: powerbox question?

Smartfly or Powerbox ...both excellent solutions...44%er is a big plane...get one that can handle lots of juice...especially with 2.4 ghz and 8711s. Smartfly EQ10 or Powerbox Royal...or SC-12...

The 8711s draw a alot of current...Look at A123 batteries...or Li-Mng for duralite. These can handle large amounts of current without brownouts...and are less likely to burn up on you.

Also...dont take just the advice from one person...Use the knowledge from what will be many post in this thread...do your homework and I am sure you will design a solution that will be more than adequate. Good luck.
