Hello.. I'm building a FT precut Bushwacker for the first time and using a C-Pack from Flite Test. I was looking around online and trying to get an idea of what to expect prior to building the plane so I could avoid any pitfalls and have a successful build from the get go. I loved the promo vid for the Bushwacker showing Peter and Josh flying the plan in 3D style and also simply out and about as a cruiser.
I want the option of 3D flight, but even more so just aerobatic at will with occasional hoover here and there.
Mostly, I just want to cruise around, land with flaps/flapperons in super slow, super short landings and take-offs, and get at least 10-12 mins of flight out of screwing around.
1. So what are others getting for flight times out there using what kind of set up?
Motor, Prop, Batt, and style of flying = flight time?????
2. Also if you want to share any info on plane improvements that led to longer flight time and/or better handling.
3. Should I use flapperons or should I use the separate flaps/ailerons?
Right now electronics I plan to use are:
1.Motor - EMax GT2215/10 (1100kV) with 10x4.5 prop or Firepower 480 Sport (3530-11), 480 class, 260 watt, 960kv with 10x5 prop
(I'm unsure which motor would be best?)
2.ESC - EMax BLHeli 30A ESC with a Castle Creations BEC (https://www.amainhobbies.com/castle-creations-10-amp-adjustable-bec-cse010-0004-00/p18210)
3.BATT- 3S 1800mAh 11.1V 45C
4.Futuba 6J Tx & R2006GS Rx
depending on how CG works out I'll add a nose spinner to help add weight to front if I need it and/or solid foam dupro wheels.
Throw some knowledge at me... thanks!
