cool electric generating ideas for model plane?
i got a few ideas for on-board power generating and i would need help setting up resistors and that
crap over there.
1) solar powered engine starter.
the nitro engines run using a glow plug which is lit by a 1.2 volt, 1700mA
1. That takes a lot of solar panel, a lot of weight, just in case the engine stalls? doesn't seem worth it. 1.2 x 1.7 = 2 watts. That will be about 50 square inches, or 7" x 7". Now you could use a smaller panel and a large capacitor to store
