Hi all. My 17 year old son was looking for a quarantine hobby and decided to build planes. He started with the FT Explorer and the 3 channel wing. After limited success in a local park (successful flight but many obstructions and a broken wing), we took a drive to some wide open spaces and he had some long flights. He has finished the 4 channel wing and is ready to try that next.
I decided I want to join in the fun but with something smaller and more appropriate for limited space AND 55 year old reflexes. My box of goodies from FT Store arrived yesterday morning. Time to build! I decided on the Tiny Trainer and finally found version 1.1 Tiny Trainer plans updated by Dan Sponholz.
The questions:
Firewall plywood: Other than needing longer screws, is there any downside to using 4 mm plywood? I have lots of good quality 4 mm Bruynzeel Okoume 3 ply BS 1088 rated plywood. I also have some lesser quality 3 mm luan.
Screws: I have an Emax CF2822 1200kV motor. Are the mounting screws for this going to be M3 with the coarse 0.5 pitch? Is this the standard for all RC stuff?
Thanks in advance!
Jim
