2026 Speed Challenge - RickHunter

I'm thinking it will be okay as long as I can keep it somewhat stable due to it being tail heavy (can't get around that). Plus it won't be me flying it. Launch dolly would pry be easier, but not nearly as fun. 😁

True that. Got a few cheap little cameras from online to mount to the planes to try to get some cool shots.

Mine was probably too nose heavy if anything😂😂

The way the Legacy is set up the landing gear is close to the CG. So I have to put the Radjet behind it. I'm gonna mix some elevator in it when she is attached in attempts to compensate somewhat, but tail heavy is tail heavy. At least I have the regular legacy to experiment with first. That one won't hurt as bad to wreck.

She's all done but the electronics. Gonna need some basic soldering for the 4in1 board, which is my least favorite thing to do. Have not decided weather to put a FC on her or not. Might due FPV after flyer her, but all i got is DJI 04 and don't want to risk it on the madien flight.

Sorry if ya already mentioned it..What size motors you got there?

 

[RickHunter]

Xing pro 2208 1800kv 6s, 4in1 70a esc. If I can't get the speed I want and she survives I will pry try some faster.

Looks amazing

She just needs some control horns, rods and receiver install and she's ready to go. We will see if she holds up to 160+ mph without tearing apart. Gonna try to get her up on Monday if i can, if not it might be a week or two.
