2025 STOL challenge

[Houndpup Rc]

I’ve still got a lot of power too! 2218 motor.

..........3548....14x6 prop.......POWER!

 

[Mr Man]

..........3548....14x6 prop.......POWER!

Yes, lots!

 

[Mr Man]

I cooked my 3548 with a 10x7 on 4s. But I noticed RUST on the stator, so that definitely had something to do with it.🤣 Hope weather clears so I can try out that 4250 800kv…

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Yes, lots!

Thankfully the Scout handles weight very well! I have flown a 2200mah 4S in the FS one and it handled great!

Man, what a pity! How many kv was it?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

4250 800kv…

Oh Man! That's a big boy!

 

[Mr Man]

1100. But it was a very old motor (hence the rust)

What size prop you running with the 4250?

 

[Mr Man]

What size prop you running with the 4250?

10x10, might buy a 10x12 though, or a 11x13 or 11x14 and cut it down.

10x10, might buy a 10x12 though, or a 11x13 or 11x14 and cut it down.

Was going to say you will probably have less speed but if you are going up in pitch hopefully you should get more.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Would be a great motor for a XL!

 

[Mr Man]

Would be a great motor for a XL!

Yes it would! I might if I crash my spit, but I’m not planning on it.

 

[Mr Man]

Storch done!

 

[Mr Man]

I’ve got leading edge slats from a timber in it, and paper removed from all internal areas.

 

[Mr Man]

And no power pod. All to save weight.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Storch done!

Nice!

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Still working on cutting out mine.

Hey @Jo's squadron I am wanting to build the MM DR1 but I am curious if the payload weight would be changed for it? I will probably still make the ascender down the road, I was just curious......

It's not really a bush plane though.
