Help! I can get my esc to calibrate

Your kit will fit this magnificent model.BUT she won't fly. You can ride on the water for a long time. http://rc-aviation.ru/mchertmod/no-standart/64-hydroshyaga , http://rc-aviation.ru/forum/topic?id=36&p=66 , https://disk.yandex.ru/i/Oi9Fx2VR1iqlTA , https://disk.yandex.ru/i/XSufGUvO9g9tGw ,

I don't mind getting a bigger motor

Yeah that would probably be a good idea. Do you have the model of the plane you want to build, so I can find you a good motor?

Exactly, that’s what we need to know, you said you already had a wing. (I think) so we need to see it to really help you out.

OOOOHH, I see, you already built your plane, so yes, those motors will work for that plane, but you might want to run a 2200mah 3s lipo.

I see another problem, that plane does not seem beginner friendly. No dihedral or polyhedral whatsoever. 🤔 And it looks fast with those motors.

 

[Mr Man]

Also, do you have an actual foam control surface? I can’t tell in the photo.

 

[Mr Man]

Sorry if it’s a bit much, I’m just trying to help you succeed right off the bat, unlike me when I started.

You are gong to have a horrible time getting the CG right with that short nose.

 

[Mr Man]

Especially due to his airfoil.

Me too! I just snorted when the step was set your rates and add expo (I didn't know for sure what expo was all about) I just said to myself "I will just do gentle controls and everything will be fine!" What a mistake!

Thank you for that, also is there anything I can do except buy a new battery. I'll send some more pictures of it.

Also it does have foam control surfaces and this is the CG on a chair.

For a dihedral I can cut the wing and when it is off cut I little off at the top and hot glue it back on then it would have a dihedral. Also better to have a dihedral or polyhedral.

Dihedral works better.

That CG is WAY far back, like 5 inches.

 

[Mr Man]

You generally want your cg to be 25% of the wing width.

 

[Mr Man]

And those paper things? They’ll block airflow to your ailerons, making them ineffective.

As I see you’ve currently only got one motor, I would recommend setting this one aside and building the Tiny Trainer instead.

Should I build the tiny trainer and practice with that and get better piloting skills then try to continue my plane. Also if I make the tiny trainer can I use the electronics from my plane now, and buy a smaller battery. Also can I make it from scratch, meaning can I use the foam board I have instead of buying it online pre-built.
