RC helicopters

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

wanting to build something similar, but need some data, which I can't find on the web...

mainly the wattage of the engine needed to lift a certain weight, so can anyone who has a remote controlled heli please help me with this saying what the weight of the heli is, and how powerfull (in watts or HP what you like) the motor is driving it all?


Thanks in advance

I thought all the good ones were petrol powered?

Just quickly googled it, http://www.collectivepitch.com/

engines between 20cc and 80cc

a lot are, not all, but even petrol powered engines have a powerrating that can be expressed in Watts
1HP is around 750W so most cars have around 75 kW under the hood, or about 40 waterboilers
