Brian, dont assume that I have no intention of listening to advicefrom posters, and as I said in my post, I'm 82yo, and prefer to keep things relatavely simple, and follow a simple 'learning curve'. Your advice has been noted (amongst others). BTW I dont bet (if that was the meaning of the £5. Harry

Thanks Brian for your view. I shall still try to get the Amps down by changing props, and if that does the trick, and eventually fly's the model I select, then that will be sufficient for me, and I would still have a Amps "reserve/buffer" if things do not turn out as hoped. A sort of Max/Min envelope.....mebbe. Harry

Thanks Brian, I suspect that a change of props may do the trick to bring down the Amps, and thanks for the data.

Thanks Gents for your prompt replies. As both ESCs are conected to the battery on a Y lead, I shall test each motor seperately to determine their draw on the test rig. The motors, ESCs, props are from 4Max Value Pack x2 and I note that the motors are rated at 10A. I ran them for probably less than a minute each time. I shall get some smaller props and try them, and if I can get the total draw down to 20-25A and all works out ok, I shall then figure out a suitable twin motor model to put them in, Once again, thanks gents for all the help and advice you have given me. I shall let you know how I go on in due time. Thanks

I am in the process of learning how to set up twin motors as follows: 2x brushless 22x12 1400kv motors with 8x6 props 1x 3s 2200 35c Lipo 2x 30A ESCs Using a Power Meter the amp draw is 35A on full power My question is the 35A draw the sum of both motors or the draw of each motor.? Ran motors at full power for very short periods. No smoke, no smell, no heat. Also occasionally from No1 or No2 motor (not sure which) I hear a not very loud 'crack' sound similar to an elecrical short. No heat. No smell. No smoke. No change in motors performance. Can anybody educate me as to the above. Please keep it simple. I am 82 and minus a few brain cells (joking)

Thanks gents for your answers. Answer A seems to be the logical correct one.

On a "tail dragger" monoplane, where should the undercarriage be mounted? A. In front of the c of g? B. On the c of g? C. Behind the c of g? The question may seem basic to many, but I am in conflict with my self as to the best position. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks David and MattyB. I have printed off the comprehensive instructions, and will study it in preparation of the arrival of my Easy Glider 4 Best regards, Harry

Thanks David. Helpfull.

To continue my effort to get back into gliders I have ordered a MPX Easy Glider4, which has been strongly recommended. I have in addition to this purchased Lemon 7 Chanel DSMX Stab Plus rx, but I am having trouble understanding how to programme it. The writing on the rx is extremely small, and even using a torch and a magnifying glass it is difficult to read. Instructions didnt come with it, I have contacted the seller, but as of this time I have not yet recieved an answer, but I am hoping someone here could meanwhile help. Harry Glover

It appears that the Easy Glider is a firm favourite and best placed for someone like me to get started again in thermal soaring. I would like to thank all those who gave me advise/opinion, which I have greatfully recieved. Thanks Harry Glover

Thanks Graham, I completely overlooked Spektrum! Confused.
