It will start shipping in early November,and as an insentive, any pre-order qualifies for a FREE entertainment DVD of your choice. Click this link to read more about and order this highly educational training program. This DVD shot on 1080i HD teaches the essential skills you will need to be successful with e-gliders of any type. I cover:
ESC Programming • Lipo Battery Safety • Propellor Use • How To Use A Watt Meter • Soldering • Connector Choices • Charging • 2.4 With Electrics • BEC Set Up • Battery Cell Monitoring
I'm really into the idea of pure soaring, but I've been flying electric gliders on and off over the years, and now I'm really excited about having electrics be a bigger part of my soaring experience. Having a motor in your glider opens up flying sites that you would not have the space to set up a high start or winch. You can base-fly hills, alpine thermal in places with no land-outs, and easily fly in winter. And with new soaring events like Altitude Limited Electric Soaring, you can now compete man-on-man at flying fields that were too small for winches.
You will however have to learn a whole new set of skills to operate and set up your electric glider so you don't fry your speed controller, puff your lipo battery packs, or burn up your motor.
You could spends months doing research and testing expensive gear, or you could get the DVD and quickly learn electrics the right way. My new Electric Sailplane Clinic is a highly detailed DVD that will teach you all of the basic and essential skills you'll need to set up, optimize, and safely operate any electric glider without destroying your equipment.
You'll learn what wire and connector sizes to use for your system, how to program an Electric Speed Controller, how to mount and balance spinners and folding props, and how to use a Watt meter to measure your total system amp draw. I also cover lithium polymer battery saftey and charging strategies, cell balancing and monitoring and how to make batteries last.
I will even show you how to solder the various high amp connectors available and how to wire up an ESC to a motor and change settings. Once you learn these electric flight skills, you will be able enjoy flying your e-glider safely within the limits of your battery, ESC, and motor.
