PT-19

PT-19 Electric
My PT-19 was my first experiment in electric. Originally powered by a brushed Sapphire Onyx (RC car motor) with a 3:1 gear reduction on 10 Nicad cells, although built extremely light, she was not a very impressive performer. She now sports a 2820/10 outrunner with a 4s 4000 LiPo and I have to be careful not to pull the wings off! Impressive to say the least, weight is even lower than the old Nicad setup so she's still a nice floater but has ridiculous power to weight ratio. This is similar to the setup I'll be using in my SE5a so I'm now quite confident in the power system.
