Mini Arrow Speed build

Just one side, underside at a 45 degree for the elevon hinge

Oh, I see. So then you put tape on both sides of the hinge?

Right wing glued

Correct sir😎👍

Ok, sweet! What's the thickness of the spar?

I actually don’t run a spar in it, it holds up just fine without one and a spar will just take up too much room, the V3 is tiny. I’ve done 150 mph loops with no spar and it holds up just fine😎

Both halves glued together, no spar and it’s as stiff as a rock😎

Time to iron every edge😎. This one is gonna be a rocket! I’m ironing the Elevon pieces separately

This build would be a ways down the road for me but what were your electronics for the 3s? Good luck with the speed record!!

For 3 cell fun speed I used a 2207-2750kv motor and a 5.2x6 prop. ESC was a 20 amps and it drew right at 22, battery was a 1000 mah zippy, it hit 118 mph.

edges all ironed to a sharp point.

 

[IdoAllMyOwnStunts]

Elevons ironed, I love ironing! I found out about it last month on this forum

 

[IdoAllMyOwnStunts]

Elevons taped on, airframe complete in 2 hours😎. This one should go past 175MPH, fastest all foamboard plane ever!?!?....now the wait for props👌

 

[IdoAllMyOwnStunts]

High quality spray paint coloring 😜

 

[IdoAllMyOwnStunts]

Packing tape covering complete. I’m getting really excited for this one!

 

[IdoAllMyOwnStunts]

Motor is on, servo placement decided

 

[IdoAllMyOwnStunts]

Got it all together and braved the cold to test fly it. And it flew perfectly! Test flew on a 3 cell 1000 mah, AUW of 285 grams.
