This is a pretty common and very powerful/effective setup being used in 2 Meter F3A ships:

Axi 5330/F3A motor - $269
Axi 8mm prop adapter - $15
Castle Creations Phoenix 85HV controller - $170

PolyQuest /Thunder Power/FlitePower 5S-5000mah battery x2 (series for 10s)

APC 20-13 electric prop - $15 (best in light winds)
APC 20.5-14 electric prop - $15 (best overall prop)

Complete power set up with 1 set of batteries approximately $700

Chargers and power supply:

Thunder Power 1010 charger - $199
Thunder Power 210V balancer - $99

Alternative charger setup :

CellPro 10S with integrated balancer - $189

2ea 6 pin balance nodes to fit your packs - $15 ea

Iota 55amp RV power supply - $110 from various sources on EBay
4mm to 6mm gold bullet connectors (connect motor to speed controller)
Deans Ultra connectors (connect battery packs to controller)

Optional:

12V deep cycle marine battery - $110 from Sears - will allow up to 5 flight battery charges. ( it can be recharged by Iota power supply above)
or
110V generator - $150 to $700

The optimum number of flight packs is 3 sets. This will allow you to fly almost continuously if you arrive at the field with 3 charged packs. Also, if you bring a deep cycle marine battery as well, you will be able to get in 8 flights per session.


Basic Castle Controller settings: (these are the important ones)


Battery - 30V (don't use auto-lipo setting)
timing - low
frequency - low
sensitivity - insensitive


This and more data for what you are doing can be had readily at the electric F3A site.


Hope this helps!

Federico,

I much prefer the Plettenberg 30-10 Evo to the Axi. The Plettenberg is lighter, and I feel smoother and more powerful. The Pletty can also handle larger props, I think the Axi only likes up to a 20x13.

The Castle Creations speed controller is a good choice, I think you have to make sure the timing is correct in the settings otherwise the motor is not happy. I know the Jeti 90 Opto works well. Also, the Rasa 20x15 props are a great choice as they are a lot stiffer than the APC props, less torquey, and quieter. The blades are available from ICARE-RC, the same distributor for the motor in North America, and East R/C makes a hub.

As for a charger, FMA Direct CellPro 10S- bar none.

This is a more expensive setup than the aforementioned Axi, however I think you'll be a lot happier with it, especially with an airplane as large as the Osmose. Where are you from?

Buena suerte!

I agree,

The Plett system is a big jump over the AXi system. If you want the best in all around efficiency, there are not many better.
