That's not a dig he's a fellow plane designer and an experienced builder. Tongue in cheek at worst.
What did you print that on? And is it water proof(PA has wet mornings).
This are 40 sheets of paper glued together. I want to glue it on and then cover with clear PU-Paint.
Hey Crankchaw.So I finally figured out how to print the hot wire template... big question is how many mm apart should each piece be from each other. Like piece DD is closer to E than say FF is to G. Can someone clarify that...I would think that would be pretty important.
It might be better to peel off the paper from the foam board, glue on your printed paper, and then cut out the pieces. The glue would make it hard to peel out the strips of foam for A and B folds, but you'd only want to do one side, cut out all of the pieces, and then glue the design on the other side. So with some planning it could be relatively easy. By removing the foam board paper and replacing it with your own, it wouldn't weight too much more but would be a lot stronger because of the thin layer of glue.
But you might be doing that anyway. I'm mostly pointing this out for future reference to others.
Ok i deleted post. I know who he is though just sounded crapy thats all
Just got my speed build kit this past weekend. I'm about 50% done. I ordered the Grayson EDF power systems but it's not here yet.
I did happen to have a 70mm RCLander EDF which I know makes massive amounts of thrust. I used it on a Hobby King Dassault Alfa with 6s setup. It's probably a bit heavy for this bird, but we'll see.
I am contemplating retracts, but it will take some engineering to pull it off.
Does anyone have an all up weight for this with the EDF setup?
Spartf16, There are a couple things to consider about what size battery you should use.I purchased the following 64mm combo pack for under $40:

What is the best recommendation for battery - 4 cell or 3 cell?
Will it handle a 3000 mah 4s 40c?
Help???
