HELI TALK: HIGH VOLTAGE REVISITED

A closer look at power and performance High-power 3D electric helis like Kyle Stacey's “Angry Bird” Goblin 700, have impressive performance. The question for the pilot is whether it's better to generate the required watts with more amps or with higher volts. A few months back, we talked about the relative advantages of higher voltage as opposed to higher current for power-hungry 3D applications and for heavier scale machines. This spurred some productive discussion with...
