Help! Bigger Motor for the C pack

[Mr Man]

I made a cut in the side of the fuselage where the the wing goes that followed the profile of the wing. I just hot glued mine in place with a LOT of glue. And yes DIY battery hatch. I embedded the aileron servos in the wing skin as well, but I believe Nate originally planned them to go underneath where the wing and fuselage join.

Thanks!

I think I’ll make some doublers for strength.

I think I did that as well.

 

[Mr Man]

Or rubber bands.

 

[FlyingWithRyan]

Or rubber bands.

Extra drag with rubber bands though

Yep, @FAI-F1D used it on two of his hotliners, and they still had some insane speed.

I have the FT 2814/1100kV (https://store.flitetest.com/ft-2814-1100kv-motor/) in my MS Spitfire and I have run it in a nnChipmunk. I run a 50A ESC and they scream. Just as fast as the Durafly P-51 Galloping Ghost on the stock motor. I can't say if they hit 100mph but its way faster than a power pack C in the Spitfire.

I have a power pack C in my MS Corsair and run a 9x6 prop on 3S. At full speed I had to add a mix for some elevator down to keep it stable. Just my two cents but I would try and go for more speed in a Mustang, Spitfire or any of the Nerdnic Speedwing builds. The MS Corsair is just a little too quirky on high speed handling. Granted my build is not perfect as I had to add some aileron trim to keep it flat.

Also, the MS Corsair battery area is a little tight if you want to run anything bigger than 2200maH. I run a 3000, 4S in my MS Spit. Good luck.

@Houndpup Rc Likes the Corsair.

Yeah the Corsair any day for me! Will keep that in consideration and will probably use a gyro. I use a 2200 4S. Thanks for mentioning that!
I am doing the NNSpit right now and that 3536 1800kv motor is sooo powerful thats it's almost scary!!!

 

[Mr Man]

@FlyingWithRyan Where Is the CG on this hotliner?

Thats good to know about the 3536 1800. I will order one to put in an eventual build of the nnMig3. Thanks.

I run a gyro in everything. I experimented with a Hobbyking Orange 6ch non-gyro and due to the wind I had too much trouble landing. Folded the wing on my nnChipmunk. I still try to sharpen my skills by dialing down the gain when I can. Its always windy where I fly.

The 800 series of course.

I folded the wings on my first NNSpitefire from using a spar that was too small. How did you fold your NNChipmunk?

I went 30% of MAC, so just measure 30% of the wing

A strip of basswood always helped me with this issue fwiw

Ok, thanks! During some glide tests, it felt good right about there. Thanks again!

Did you build it as a symmetrical airfoil or as a standard flat bottom?

 

[Mr Man]

Semi-symmetrical.

 

[FlyingWithRyan]

Semi-symmetrical.

The aspect ratio is high on that wing so it shouldn't increase drag too terribly much, but it might be harder to trim at speed like this, but yeah I had trouble forming a stout aileron hinge with a symmetrical style wing, the last attempt I used a balsa aileron with glue in hinges.
Ps, the weakest point on the plane, besides whatever you use for a spar, is going to be the bottom vertical stab on landing, I ended up embedding a skewer in it to give it more rigidity.

I had built the chip with the standard (non-speed) wing. On a gusty day on landing I end-for-ended the plane and creased both wings where the aileron servos are mounted. Also broke off the tip of the horizontal stab. I decided not to repair and am building the nnP-39 now.

Even the standard wing held up to the 2814-1100kV on full speed turns.
