I just attempted to convert an AirCore 40 and here was the maiden.
I am looking for some suggestions here. Could it be a thrust angle problem or maybe a stall because of lack of speed? It did take off the ground before I thought it would. Tail heavy? I balanced it as per the manual at the spar. I also built the kit as per instructions to include power pod. Motor was mounted on top of the wood provided for the engine. with a block of balsa as motor mount. I added no thrust angle only because the manual stated that none was needed. I know I probably should of added some but...
My set up is as follows:
Sky Power 60A ESC with Switchmode BEC
APC 11 x 7E Composite Propeller
Power Up 32 Sport Outrunner Brushless Motor
4S 3300 Battery
This is my first kit and my first conversion so any thought anyone may have will be appreciated
Thanks
