All:
I am a complete noob to the RC plane world and when my son showed me some videos of foam built planes I was hooked and look forward to spending time with him with the hobby. We plan on getting a Mini Slowbipe to learn on but want our second plane to be a FT Versa Pusher. I've already started construction and I'm enjoying the process.
However, I'm trying to wrap my head around the proper components. Since there is no exact correct answer (and what seems like from a noobs perspective limitless choices) it seems like going on other peoples levels of success is the way to go. Since we won't be experts at flying the Versa I'd like to start out with a 8 x 4 prop but have the flexibility to move up to a 9 x 6(?) prop for more speed and maneuverability once we get better or even transition to FPV. I understand that many have CG issues but we'd prefer to go the pusher route. If you've had success with a FT Versa Pusher can you post your setup? Am I asking for too much flexibility which isn't possible?
Prop -
Motor -
Battery -
FPV - Y/N (or anything unique that helped your setup)
Inrunner or Outrunner - I can't tell from the build video which would work best. I originally was thinking inrunner but looking at the pictures of them online they look long which will add to CG issues. Will an outrunner work with this firewall?
Thank You!
