This is a fun build for the Sunset State Beach slope event that is just around the corner. I hope to do some pylon racing with this against other folks with the same plane. If you would like one, send me a message. Maybe I can add them to the website really quick. For $6 you get the plane and a set of fiberglass control horns. The rest is up to you. (That makes it fun!)
Here is my build. Took a few hours, would have been quicker, but I'm a slow thinker, planning out how I wanted to do it. Was going to do a wingeron, but that takes more time.
I had a set of micro servos from Emax sitting around, sadly they no longer offer this size. Added an R6 receiver and a 600mah 1S lipo and a 2" extension to serve as a switch. The rest is carving foam and a little music wire for the pushrods.
Started off with removing the steel ball, it is behind the front door.
Then I popped it in the band saw:
Cut the flight surfaces and mounted my servos:
Added the rest of the radio gear. Yep, this is where they needed to go for CG.
I slid the sides together many times test fitting. Wanted to keep as much foam as possible.
The only carbon I added was on the tail as I was only going to drive one side.
And here she is getting her first charge. I like simple Z bends for these basic planes.
I'll have to monitor the voltage, these servos don't like the lower voltages too much. Will need to keep it up above 3.9 volts. I can probably fly it for many hours with the 600mah cell. LOL
Still need to decorate it.
