So I wanted to make a balsa version of the Funbat - because I like balsa construction, and I like making drawings, and the Funbat is such an awesome plane.
Here is a slightly downscaled Funbat that I built with foam a couple of years ago.
I flew it only a couple of times before decommissioning it. It had a Park450 1050kv motor spinning a 8x4.7 prop, a 1300mAh 3S and 9 gram servos in it. It would go vertical, fast, but it was a pig to fly, with very high wing loading!
So now I'm going to make the actual size version in balsa, maybe even upscale it a bit, in order to fit the same hardware but with a 2200mAh 3S battery instead. Some modifications will also be included.
More to follow.
