Good day folks,
Just fancied sharing my take on a very, very old FT design originally made by Chad Kapper himself. Lo and behold the ancient FT Speedwing (100mph for under 100bucks challenge).
So as you can see some modifications... Scaled down by 5% (wingspan 25.5 inch instead of original 27.25 span) and some extra stabilisers.
Planning to run via 3 or 4 cell with 2200kv motor with 6x4 inch prop depending how I balance it... However I need to know what throws I need since flitetest didn't cover this in their article... I know I'm going very far down memory lane by trying to uncover this primordial design but if anyone that tried this before can help me determine the throw angles for the control surfaces or if there's a specific rule of thumb to determine throws for various rc wing designs. Much appreciated and thanks for the read!
