Lunch is 45minuets, But I allways eat at morning tea time which is 15 mins. That way I have the whole of lunch to get something done
Oh and it's not the first model I've scratch built. (23-01-2013, 04:24 PM)smuzz Wrote:(23-01-2013, 02:32 PM)kizza42 Wrote: I can answer that for you: Faster and Tail Heavy!

Hmm - those estimates are pretty quick! Interesting ...
This model will be much more slippery than a RareBear so I expect it to take a lot less power to drive fast.
I'm not sure what motor to use yet, I might have to go for an inrunner to get the revs/prop speed up enough. Just have to see how we'll go with that.
It would probably be hard to find a decent speed 400 motor these days. Also they are very heavy things and produce little power. I'll be shuffeling the lipo pack and elevator servo to try and get the C of G right, Hopefully I can get it in the ball park with out moving too much. I'm thinking of running either a 1000 4S or 13004S high discharge lipo's
The good thing is that Doug has just about finished his one so I'll be able to find out how he went in that regard.
