Electric motor flight (ePub)

Which drive is suitable for a prototypical motor model with, for example, a 1.6 m wingspan or for a 1.2 m aerobatic model or for a 5 kg warbird? Where to put the battery? And above all, what type of battery: NiMH or LiPo? And how do I charge it correctly? Modern drives and batteries make it possible to equip motor models with electric motors, thus replacing the combustion engine more and more. With the possibilities, many questions have arisen that are not only asked by beginners and those switching to electric motors. FMT expert author Hinrik Schulte gives many valuable tips in his book "Elektro-Motorflug" (Electric Motor Flight) and uses practical examples to show how you can successfully fly your motor model electrically. Five commercially available models of different sizes are presented in detail in their construction and use. The reader is present when an electric Cadet, a Thunderbolt or a Cup takes off, or when the "Tante Ju", with three engines like the prototype, flies a circuit. Today, electric motor models of various sizes are a matter of course on model airfields. With this book, not only newcomers and those changing over to electric models This book is an exciting guide to modern model flying with electric motors, not only for beginners and those switching to electric flying, but also for experienced pilots.
