E7 SE... It's Here! (Release date July 5th)

[Tom W.]

Hi Alan

As you got your SE, does this mean that the delivery is started?

Regards from Switzerland

I don't believe so.  The Team receives preproduction kits. It should not be too long now though!
 
Cheers

So now it has been a couple of days, E7se still kicking tail?!

[Matt Botos]

Thanks,

Matt

Well unfortunately I was only able to fly it on Sunday. Work has this far gotten in the way this week:-). Friday pm is looking good though. Can't wait!

Cheers

I am off for the summer so I have the time, but the weather is another story.  Yesterday it rained for over an hour (forecast had 10% chance at 6 pm).  Right now it is 99 degrees so I might try later today.  Looks like I will fly in the morning, charge up then fly later in the day.  And the Sim when I have nothing else to do.
Next week some people will have a great 4th with the new E7 coming out!

Alan or Chris, could you take a picture of your wiring layout to aid me in routing wires.  Or any pics that I need to be sure to use when building.  I'm picking up all my electric tomorrow minus CGY750.  Thanks again for the help, just hope looking at the E7 build/TT conversion gets me installing the parts correctly.

I posted a bunch of pictures of my build on Facebook. Here is a link to my album. It's set to public, but you are more than welcome to throw me a friend invite

Thanks Chris, I just all the electronics today from LHS and got all the same stuff that Alan had listed but I got an castle 120 instead of the 160 that Alan has.  Is that a big deal or not?  Will check out the pics too, thanks.

If you got a 4530 motor, I would worry that the 120 may not be enough. That's a big motor. I think the constant amps are 100 with spikes near 180 I think? Don't quote me on that.

I might be wrong but I try to use 160s on motors bigger than 4035 series.

Constant Amps is listed as max 115... And max peak for 2 seconds as 250 for the 4530-500.

I would be a little concerned flying with a Castle 120 on this series motor.

Cheers,

Yep it's a 4035-500 so it looks like I need to go up one to the 160??

[Mark Burberry]

I just modified my previous post as I had 4035-500 instead of 4530-500.
You do have the 4530-500 correct?

[SGM Retired]

I'm looking at the box and it says HKII-4035-500KV. $249.00. Hope that's correct motor??
