FOAM BOARD HJK SPEEDWING DISCUSSION

[L Edge]

ohh........I was planning on using standard 9g servos on my apex phantom...........

I would suggest you do some research on pylon plane design before you attempt the high speeds. At 200mph, your plane in a tight turn will exhibit 50 g's. I've done that speed and all of the planes(competition-4 at a time ) are fiberglassed foam. Even the setup for servos requires top notch because failure means disaster for equipment and possibly personnel.
Can you also handle 300 ft/sec with your flying experience? Your reaction time is very important. The average is .2 sec. That means you moved 60 ft before action when making a decision. Yes, you can improve, but look what can happen???????????
Safety first.

You could probably use 4mm bullets. That;s what I’m using on mine. (With a 7x15 apc prop it’ll be over 200 Amps!

alright thats what Im gonna use and ur using a 7x15 apc prop im gonna assume its not gonna be a big plane like mine

thanks for the advise but plz dont worry I have all of this in mind and im gonna build a bunch of trainers and maybe even get lessons at a local flying field so im gonna be set the flying field has a lot of aircrafts and some high speed ones aswell so I can improve my flying skills and get ready for the apex phantom

and researching on pylon plane designs is exactly what iv been doing on and off for the past 3 months.....in fact this whole thread was created for the soul purpose of getting opinions of other people on my design, get ideas, learn about pylon racers and pylon design, and be a starting point for anyone trying to follow in my footsteps and also wants to build pylons im not exactly the gatekeeping type..............

Yeah, Mine's a lot smaller

 

[Zoom Master]

Yeah, Mine's a lot smaller

Alright so what motor are you using ?

 

[Zoom Master]

Yeah, Mine's a lot smaller

But won’t making the plane bigger help in reaching higher speeds ?

 

[Mr Man]

Alright so what motor are you using ?

4082 1600kv inrunner made by Leopard hobby. ($999 new)

I personally think u are very apart for not trying to build a giant plane like me and going for a medium sized speed wing and btw what do u think about me using 2x9g servos for each controll surface ?

 

[Mr Man]

Well on THEIR website it was...

Only if it's metal gear, because yours is huge it might need single larger servos. (17g)

 

[Zoom Master]

Plz tell me u didn’t buy it from their website….

 

[Mr Man]

I got it used. ($36)

Alright I’ll look into metal gear and 17gram ones and let u know which one I pick

 

[Zoom Master]

Thank god my friend

What about batteries what batteries are u gonna use ?
