Power Pack C - For Larger RC Airplanes

by FliteTest | July 30, 2018 | (4) Posted in Reviews

As an all-in-one electronics kit that provides you everything you need for 'beefy' RC airplanes, this pack is great for many Flite Test kits.  

Power Pack C is the setup you go to when you have a DIY plane in need of some serious performance. If you have a large model or an aircraft you want to tear up the sky with, look no further. 


What's in the pack?

Like all Flite Test Power Packs, the 'C' pack includes almost everything you need to power an airframe. All you'll need to add is your receiver and battery. 


The motor included in Power Pack C is an Emax Grand Turbo GT2215/09. This is the powerhouse of your aircraft. It delivers more than enough power for all of our larger foam board models. 


The speed controller is a 30amp Emax ESC which can, as you'd expect, handle 4s batteries. Like the motor, this comes with 3.5mm bullet connectors which means that you don't have to solder anything. The ESC also comes with an XT60 battery connector. 


The Power Pack also comes with five Flite Test Edition Emax 9g servos. With this many, you'll be able to build just about anything!


In the hardware bag, you'll find a couple of screwdrivers to help you attach the motor to its accessories and your power pod.


There are a ton of servo extensions that will come in handy for larger models with servos placed far in the wings and tail. One of these is a 'Y' harness to link two servos together for ailerons. 


What's special about this Flight Pack?

As mentioned, this is the pack you use if you want to power larger models. Power Pack C's motor can accelerate a plane to high speeds and pull or push larger airframes without a problem. If you have something over 2lbs (1kg), this is a better choice than Power Pack B which has been designed for lighter planes. 


The MiG-3, for instance, would be a perfect airplane for these electronics.

The article describing the power packs says the ESC is capable of 4S. Am I correct in assuming the motor is too? What about the B power pack?
