Most Small Planes have an MTOW between 450 lbs and 660 lbs. 450 lbs = 204 kg / 10 kg = 20 Kw is needed to Fly Well = 27 hp.

660 lbs = 299 kg / 10 kg = 29 Kw is needed to Flywell = 40. hp!

So for 28hp, How many Batteries for 1hr, 1:30, 2hrs of Flight?

So for 36hp, How many Batteries for 1hr, 1:30, 2hrs of Flight?

So for 40hp, How many Batteries for 1hr, 1:30, 2hrs of Flight?
