Prop/battery/motor selection for FT mustang

Cool! Sounds like it was a nice flier!

It was! Definitely a blast to fly

Initial test flying went pretty well, broke a motor mount, fried an esc and stalled on landing after about 6 test flights. I'm still working out some of the bugs but she's shaping up to be a pretty nice flying airplane. Moved from a plywood motor mount to a 3d printed one and built a way sturdier power pod. I was apparently stressing the holes where the skewer that keeps the power pod in place live. So I went ahead and glued washers into all of them and haven't had an issue since. Scared to see how fast she flies but I've stuck to flying on 3s so far. I'll try to upload some pics later, she's a lot prettier now and I'm getting a custom decal set printed by a local sign shop, so she'll look just like the real 'ghost.

Cool! Yeah I broke a prop on every landing with mt NN spitefire

No I didn't get the chance to "land" it with the gas prop on it.....It didn't break in the crash though!

Ah, those Gas props are Sturdy!

Yeah, and the "Dime a Dozen" ones and Amazon are not! 😂 I finally went to gas props and those are much better.

yeah, I got some 8x6 from amazon, and the hub is offcenter on all of them! (not to mention warped)

 

[Vetteguy18]

Yeah I haven't broken a prop yet. It's an apc 8x6e that I had in the parts stash.... Bent a prop adapter and a motor shaft tho......

Yeah it was because I was moving to fast when i landed and it snapped it off...

Looks really nice!

But to your point, I had a 3d plane that loved to nose over on landing and snapped a prop Every. Single. Time.

 

[Vetteguy18]

WOW.

Haha thanks!

Man, that's too bad, sounds like landing gear should've been farther forward....

 

[Vetteguy18]

Looks really nice!

Thanks! The prettier I make it tho the more afraid of flying it i get.....

 

[Mr Man]

Haha thanks!

Looks AMAZING!!!!!!! (I really like air racers)

It's so frustrating!😡

Yeah it was an eflite visionaire and I think one too many hard landings bent the landing gear enough that it developed that tendency
