That’s not the problem, I just need more wingspan😂

For the 400g motors you are using? 😂 😂

Yeah, I think that’s how much it weighs. (3500watts!!)

[Captain J]

More wing for the extra weight, and torque roll.

man i really hope i dont crash it cause i really like it. starting simple and with what i know….byme db.

i am going to paint the original fake radjet tomorrow and start putting it together. to start out i am going with a 64mm edf…then may try twin 50s…but in the end i am almost certain it will live with that emax 2808 1900kv. i feel like that would be the perfect motor for that plane.

 

[Captain J]

its also got this epic prop guard so i dont cut my digits off…

Or just wingtip launch it…

 

[Captain J]

Or just wingtip launch it…

thats my normal launch method, but this one has a little spot to grab…so i just so badly wanna flat football toss it. plus its bloody heavy…i used epoxy on the entire wing joint…but man that motor feels real heavy when you hold the wing.

also, i feel like i have the best balance with this plane out of any plane i have purchased or built. basically the entire center is open so i can really dial the battery and esc.

cant wait to test it.
