Hello...
I'm new to this site but have several decades of RC experience in kits, building, bashing and glo power. I've built a few foamies over the last few years as wel but electronics is not my thing understanding wise, with motors and amps and currnet draw, etc. etc.
My club is having a combat contest in October and I'm wanting to build the Bloody Wonder. I havea few questions which should be relatively easy to answer I hope
1) Where can I order the ply control horns used in the video of the build. I've made them in the past but success varies.?
2) I'm assuming the foam in the build is basic dollar store type with the paper sandwich?
3) Can i get a list of the electrionics (Motor, esc, battery) that I can purchase. Many plans i've seen utilize components no longer available and i've tried getting similar in the past with mixed results.
Details:
The contest is to last 6 mins with planes still flying being counted for streamer measaure.
I'm planning on the two servo setup (1 for aileron, 1 for evelvator)
Planning to build this without the swappable power cartridge which may save some weight.
We're limited to 3 cells but mah is not constrained so I'm looking for 6 mins at fast flying with a bit to spare.
- The build will go fine but it's the electronics I'm concerned about getting right. I do want 'power'.
I appreciate any assistance.
Thank you
Mike
