I have an Emax rs2306 2700kv...it needs a home.I'm going for the Project Air Vampire radar gun speed record. Ill use 9gm servos.

Odds are, it will be a pile of foam...I'm somewhat new to this having only gotten into it in this past October. But I love speed. I've tried slow planes and really only enjoy them on a nice wind less sunset carrying the go pro. I built a mini arrow with the 2306 on 4s and that's when I had my first real success with speed. Haven't radared it but its fast.

With the arrow, it took 3 airframes for me to get used to going fast

I'll be finally getting round to making one for www.youtube.com/projectairaviation sometime very soon. Dunno how it's been so long since I designed this without actually featuring it in a video haha.

Its a beautiful plane! My dads a WW2 aviation buff, so I just keep calling him and asking what plane I should build next, and this is on his list, we watched the video of the larger one and were blown away at how such a simple design can look and fly so good. As I'm writing this, a v-22 osprwy is flying overhead! I'm a heavy equipment operator and today I'm working right next to Northrup Gruman down here in Jacksonville florida SO COOL

Hi James,

I would love to give this mighty mini vampire a go but your 1.1 plans are in PNG picture format which I'm finding really difficult to print as the file doesn't have a size as such - just a number of pixels wide/tall. Would you be able to save as a PDF so scaling is preserved?

I’am facing the same problem, is it possible to publish tiled A4 plans of 1.1 version? Would be great!

Worked for me

Could this be run on a 2207 1700kv motor? If so what esc/battery combo would you reccomend? Thanks

 

[IcedStorm777]

Also has someone already tiled the plans? Thanks

 

[IcedStorm777]

Also what size printer do you need to print these full size?

I printed from paint on windows 10, tiled at 100% and that worked for me.

I am gonna use a 3s 850 battery, a 30 ESC and a 2207, 1700kv motor, I am hoping to be able to go REALLY fast but also be able to slow down to a decently low speed. If this is the hope and electronics what prop should i use/ will be able to fit between the booms. A 5.5 x 4.5e, a 6.5 x 6, a 5x4 four blade prop or a different prop unmentioned? Thanks!
