To operate the motor, we suggest using a 6 - 10 cell proportional electronic speed control (ESC) that features battery
eliminator circuitry (BEC), auto-cutoff and a brake. BEC allows you to eliminate the receiver battery and uses the flight
battery to control both the motor and the radio system. Eliminating the receiver battery provides a great weight savings
which effectively increases performance. The auto-cutoff feature turns off the motor when the voltage in the battery
drops too low to operate the radio system safely. This guarantees safe operation throughout the entire flight. The brake
feature prevents damage to the motor and ESC when the propeller folds back during glide. To obtain these features, we
suggest using the Wattage IC-30A ESC (P/N 128486). The IC-30A is a high frequency controller that is micro-processor
controlled for linear throttle response, and features no-hassle digital setup.
The battery you choose should be a 7 cell (8.4Volt) 1700Mah Nickel Cadmium (NiCD) battery pack. We recommend
using the Trinity RC1700 Flat Pack (P/N 841283). For more climb power but less duration, you can use the Trinity 8 cell
(9.6Volt) 1500Mah NiCD Flat Pack (P/N 842005). These two battery packs were originally made for R/C car use, but
they are excellent choices for larger electric airplanes like the Omega 636.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
FLIGHT BATTERY
Because of the flight battery's large capacity and because it powers both the motor and the radio system, we suggest using
an Automatic Delta Peak Charger such as the Promax Activator Digital Peak Charger (P/N 885650). It is vital to the
Omega 636's flying performance that the flight battery be fully peak charged every flight, so using a peak charger is very
important.
