Wanna do some experimenting with Props on my Cubbie. Was at the local hobby shop today, always gotta pick up some props cause no such thing as too many...lol. I've been using the recommended 9x4.5 for the B motor. Since I've upgrade to the C motor I want to see what a bigger prop and bigger pitch will do or if I'll even notice.
Curious what y'all have done, tries. Still have the 35amp ESC in it and running the 3S 1550 tattu batteries. Don't have a way, yet, to see what current I'm pulling. Not sure what the best purchase would be or to use.
Just added a tail wheel to the rudder. Used an old tail wheel from a parkzone corsair. Hoping to works out. Had to add tail weight anyway.,was nosing over on landings. Don't have my 3 point landings down just yet. 🤪 Did do some reading last night though from the FAA on best practices for tail draggers. Some interesting stuff. Like, always use full stick back on taxi and roll out to help keep pressure and weight on the tail wheel for control. Very counterintuitive after having PPL training in a Cessna 172 tricycle gear.
Gotta love hot glue and pushing a steal rod into foamboard!
The bolt you may notice...lol... I had that original on top just before the vertical stabilizer. It really settled down landings. Gave just enough weight to keep from nosing over on landings. But, after some reading some better piloting technic should help with that too.
Might need to find a softer wheel too. This one is old and pretty hard making it pretty bouncy on taxi testing. It's all good fun. Having a blast with this cubbie.
Wanna go multi prop next build, can't decide on the cruiser or Guinea Pig. The GP looks like too much fun.
