FT Arrow build - Questions

[FlyingTexan]

Hello guys,

I'm building the arrow and finished building the wing and installed the servos, so almost done.
I left the plane on the working bench in my garage and when I came back to days later, I found wrinkles on one of the wings like the foam was bended (although it wasn't). Is there a chance that weather changes caused that? It got really cold here in the last couple of days and my workbench is in my garage, so that's the only thing I could think about... please see the attached picture.

In addition, I have a GT2215/09 motor available. Will it be too strong for it?

If it wasn't there before you left it on the bench and your certain something wasn't left sitting on it then, yes, I suppose the cold could have done it. Don't worry about it.

Yes, she can handle the GT2215/09 (which is the C-pack motor) - its 1100kv? To get the best out of it you may want to widen the cut out at the rear so you can get a 9 inch prop in there or go smaller on the prop and use 4S - she'll be a rocket.

Yeah that happens. Without the cold. I believe it is caused by heat transfer from really hot hot-glue. You can fill those grooves with hot glue and squeegee if it bothers you.

Like DamoRC, said it will be a rocket with that motor. You are going to need to add a healthy dose of nose weight to balance it though. I suggest you make use of the optional wing bays.

I agree with @DamoRC, the wrinkles are nothing to worry about. She will be pretty fast with that motor.
