I am building a small rigger just to play with. It will be
(22" long and 10" wide. I will use either a pair of 11volt,
20C, 2200mAh cells or one (or more) of the 6-cell, 7.2 volt,
3400 mAh NIMH battery packs I have.
My first question has to do with the motor. I am looking at
a Feigao 540S form Offshore
Electrics. It is available in Kv ratings ranging from 2858
to 5915. What Kv range should I get and what would be a
good place to start propeller wise?
My second question has to do with the receiver. I want to
use my aircraft Spektrum DX6i with an AR6000 receiver. I've
read about others having reception problems with Spektrum
equipment in boats and I was wondering if extending the
antennas in multiples of the original length and mounting
them up under the deck (or even vertically through the deck)
would help. All thoughts/experience/references will be
appreciated. TIA.
Randy
