Outside the US us scratch builders have a very different foam board available. Among the differences is weight. Some have said it's as much as 30% heavier. My question is how can I compensate for the weight?
I've built a Tiny Trainer and I know it will fly because if I throw it it has a lovely gentle glide. It glides at about 15 degrees and gently settles on the ground. But to get it to fly I had to give it a lot of throttle and I think I have burnt out the ESC.
I'm assuming I need more speed to generate more lift but what is the best way to incrementally do that? I have a 6045 prop, a 2204 2300kv motor, a 12 Amp ESC and a 3S battery. I have ordered a 20Amp ESC but I'm wondering what else should I upgrade and to what. Can I get a different propeller, bigger, smaller, different pitch? Do I need a bigger motor? Or should just upgrade everything?
