OK – so, investigating electric power…
Forgive me if I seem naive, but surely all one needs is a motor, some batteries, a Battery Management System, some software to tell the motor how much power to draw (i.e. a throttle), some feedback so that you know what the hell is going on, and a charger to get the show on the road.
What’s the difference between this and (ho-hum) RC electric flight which is well-established and has the bugs sorted out?
If one goes with a company like Compro (https://www.mgm-compro.com/) they offer all the above which play well together. What’s the big deal about ordering a 45kW system from them where everything talks to everything else?
45kW is 60hp. And that’s exactly what we need.
So weight and cost is all we need to tie down.
