Hi Guys,
First of all. This is a really great community. I read some of the threads and articles after watching almost every FT video (and hearing half of all podcasts). I really really like the idea, which is embodied by Flitetest.
I am nearlly new to RC and flown only 2 or 3 times with a HK Bixler last year. For me it is about building planes.
Because of this, I decided to build a FT Versa Wing from scratch.
I ordered some Foam Boards here in Germany, builded the Powerpod and the Versa Wing and finally made my maiden today.
But... it doesn't flown very well and chrashed after 3 or 4 meters.
I think, it is a problem between the weight (think the foarm boards are heavier in germany) and the electronics.
Here some data for you. Maybe you can give me an advice, what I have to change:
Weight: ~820gr (with 2200mAh 3s)
Motor: Turnigy 2730 Brushless Motor 1300kv (EU Warehouse)
Speed Controller: TURNIGY Plush 30amp Speed Controller (EU warehouse)
Prop: 8x4 (not that little one on the pictures!)
Maybe you have a better Idea to setup this great Wing. (ideally parts from HK EU Warehouse, because of shipping cost.)
Greetings from Germany,
Mike
