Hello Dave / Chris / John / all
Thanks very much indeed for your various replies. I hadn't realised that there were new replies. I used to get emails telling me when this happens, but apparently not any more, oh well, i shall try and check more often. Mind you i have been so busy at work, and then with my studies outside of work, and then the wife has had me at decorating as well, there has hardly been any time anyway.
It's interesting that none of the articles / videos etc seem to talk about combining ezekote and tissue - presumably people just don't do that, but what i am wondering is, is there any intrinsic reason why you couldn't do that ? (seems unlikely, but i suppose glass fibres are ultimately silicon, so pretty much inert, and conversely i suppose the tissue may just have some kind of volatility against the ezekote or vice-versa ?)
It seems that brushed motors need / may need supressors (due to the brushes i think), so i guess that's an additional complication over the brushless, on the other hand the 540 motors in general are somewhat cheaper (I see that there is one for £5 at action electronics at present). Do brushed and brushless require different types of speed controllers ? Then i guess i need a "BEC". Ultimately I'm trying to get to the bottom of a rough total cost of either installation.
It it helps/ I have a couple of turnigy 2200 3-cell batteries, 11.1 V, 25c - 35c , that i bought last year during a brief foray into model planes, and i have a charger / discharger that supposedly does ac/dc , lipos / lihv / life / liion / nimh / nicd / pb . Last year I did the research to understand what the battery specs etc meant, but it's gone from memory now, so have to start on that quest again when i get the time (I should be attending to my studies even as i write !).
Thanks again.
Best regards
