I’ve used e-calc on and off for many, many years (and currently have a subscription). Never really understood how to use it properly. So this video has been very helpful. Cheers.
I’m a big fan of ecalc, funny thing is I came up with the same motor combo, as your video for my eclipson model A, but I’m using a 7x4x3 prop, because a 3 bladed props is better balanced out of the box, no stall. I’m going to use this same combo x2 on my new dragon II.
I love eCalc the modeling and scenario playing. The physics modeling behind it is very accurate. Would be interesting to have a similar video for a quadcopter simulation and tuning with eCalc…
Read the instructions we visited and covered at the start of the video for detail. The amout you need depends on the model type and how you want to fly it... Best of luck
Thanks for the video! I'm just starting to get interested in this topic, please tell me - in your opinion, what is the maximum flight autonomy for this wing at a speed of 40 km/h? What is the maximum capacity of the battery?
Great video as always Lee. Do you have a video on differential thrust set-up on the TX16 radio for yaw control? I saw videos with models that had 4 propellers and the model was making nice flat turns.
Once you know the rough power needed (n Watts), you can calculate the approx weight of a suitable motor. Then you can plug a motor of that weight into the calculator and see how it works. Try it, free access to e-Calc below.. Happy flying
@@Painless360 I wish there was a way to put in the flying weight minus the motor and the flight style you want and have eCalc find the best motor size and kv.
You can 'guess' using the method shown. Standard motors like the 2212 style are pretty easy to use as a reference to start the process.. I always add about 100g to the estimated weight when starting to 'mop up' those additional 20g here and there on a model (motor, spinner, power wires etc.).. Happy flying!
Hello and happy new year, i need some help changing motors and props on my Heewing T1 Ranger. I have a problem finding the wing area of the plane since heewing dont list it in the description.What we can do in this situation, is there any way to find it ? How importand is to have the exact wing area values ? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work !

Please check out my motor and prop series on the channel. Markus and I made a few videos showing the tool...
A great resource. Thanks for having Marcus on, and offering a 10-day trial.
Thanks! I've been an eCalc subscriber for 2 years and still learned a couple things.
That's a really amazing tool, Lee! 😃
Thanks a bunch for all the info!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Useful tool ! This wing will fly probably like a charm. Thx for your content.

I've used e-calc for a long time to max-out my setup efficiency. It just werks!
good info as always from Marcus and Lee. Stay safe Lee.
Awesome been looking forward to more on 3dprinted planes!

4:14 How did you determine that you would need 200 watts/kg for this model in the first place? I would be stumped right there at the start.

Very useful for berinners mate!!
Great video as always.. eCalc is such a wonderful tool. I use it for new builds and upgrades on old builds... Love your educational videos.. - Will

All of that will be found when I fly it. Ecalc only gives an indication of amp draw and flight times... Stay tuned

I do, check out the videos in the OpenTX mix school.. (or simply search for 'differential thrust painless360')
Why is motor weight important? I have only seen the motor weight be part of balance.

motor weight also affects how much it heats up.

That may be a good idea for a video. Leave it with me...
This is some great information. Thanks for the video.
