This is my Great Planes Big Stick, powered by a 5065 motor and 6 cells 4000 mAh.
Great flyer, but not 40 size and not a swappable.
To power a 40 size version I need a 3536 motor or even bigger. My first step is to modify the powerpod for taking a bigger motor.
I added to the standard powerpod a second firewall some 10 mm longer .
The new firewall is only fitted with tape, strength comes from the 3 screws going through both.
The hole for the axle is enlarged.
Without the lugs you can't mount the nuts at the sides.
There goes the powerpod.
Space for a 2200 mAh 3 cell,
or a 2800 mAh 4 cell.
To be continued.
