Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out what motor to use in this plane. The magazine article uses a Tower Pro 2409-18 Bell type motor however, HobbyKing does not have them in stock and don't look like getting them back in so I'm trying to find an equivilent type of motor.
Just had another browse of the article, and I can't find any mention of all up flying weight or wing loading or other details, so all I can assume is that it needs about 200w on a 3S pack.
The motor mount on the plans is designed for this bell type motor as well, so any other style of motor will prob need to have an engine mount redesign I think.
Also, The rudder has been covered now with silk. Here is what it looks like:
