Sometimes it takes a while after I implement a new feature before I fully understand how to use it. That has definitely been the case with the PowerEnergy per unit of time. Common units include the watt and horsepower. System Optimizer. After I finished writing the optimizer example tutorial, I thought hard about what it really meant. It became obvious to me that, for most calculator users, a lot of assumptions could be made about what they were trying to do.

The result is the new EZ Optimizer. It dramatically simplifies the process of optimizing a power system. It’s this simple:

1. select the airplane
2. bring up the EZ Optimizer
3. set the propeller maximum diameter that will fit
4. set the maximum number of cells to try
5. run the EZ Optimizer

That’s it! It’ll find the best LiPo pack and outrunner motor for your airplane. The best news is that, if you are not happy with the results, you can manually edit the filters and run the full optimizer directly. The filters give you about a million combinations, so running the optimizer is pretty quick.
