Grifflyer Bell P-39 release

[Grifflyer]

I thought that was 'down is up, and up is expensive' :black_eyed:

Huh I've haven't heard that saying, or maybe I just forgot

Any way aiming to remaiden this weekend and I'll try and get a video.

 

[Grifflyer]

well I got the remaiden done a week ago, sorry there is no video it was really sunny and my camera man (dad) had a glare off the camera screen and couldn't follow the plane, but the maiden went smooth and fun.

 

[Grifflyer]

hopefully this weekend I'm going to try and fly this on a 4s battery with no adjustments.

Pretty cool, I may build one soon, if i have the time. how many amps is yur esc?

 

[Grifflyer]

how many amps is yur esc?

depends, with a 2204 motor I usually run a 20 amp with a 2205 I typically run a 30 amp.

I got out earlier this afternoon and flew the P-39 on 4s here is the result

 

[Grifflyer]

well because my old one was kinda beat up I built a new one to bring to Flite Fest and got the maiden on video which will be posted soon

Updated plans added to first post!

 

[jpot1]

Build complete. Plans were great. Only problem was my inability to cut a straight line.
Left off the wing poster board and engine detail for now.





This is my first mini with the tractor setup. Really not liking the double skewer, I have enough trouble with one skewer on the full size pod.

have you maidened it yet?

 

[jpot1]

Not yet. Ended up flying the arrow and my fingers were too numb to flip the motor to the power pod for the p-39. Looking to buy some more motors to make it not necessary to swap. What are you using?
