Scratch build a simple soarer to fit BIG battery and motor???

YO should I ? The reason is that before I moved countries I stacked on some motors, escs, servos etc since they were of higher quality and cheaper compared to UK ones. They were for my original bigger plane which i found out soon that the FT tuny trainer was easier to fly but faster since smaller=faster most of the time. I am thinking about scaling up the TT to adapt my bigger set of electronics, 2212 1400kv motor with 8 in prop and 30 A esc ( 3s 2200 mah battery) This set would prob work with a tiny trainer that is not so tiny, what do yal think??

Sounds like a cool project!

Guys sorry about being unclear i mant to ask what scal up should be appropriate for those stated elctronics:D
 
This is sounding like a rip off version simple soarer LOL

EDIT: WOW is putting those electronics i mentioned on the simple soarer ok bcs that will save tons of planning.....

Yup, they’ll work on the simple soarer 👍
Thanks as i thought the soarer wouldn't have enough spaac for the big ahh 2250 mah 3s :D
The CG would prob crash out tho

A 2200isn’t all that big actually, it’s a good medium battery. There is plenty of space in the ft power pod for it 👍
I think he has been flying with a 850, so 2200 seems huge! 😂 👍 (When I got a 6000 mah 6s....My 2200's seemed small!:ROFLMAO:)

OK so i did some research and found some FT forum examples of using 3s 850 mahs with a medium sized motor and getting quite some range, which could get my other elctronics busy. Additionally, I noticed someone using a 2200 mahand a rather big motor (prob the one im using) , which is proof the cg is fine but they did mention the aircraft doesnt glide and is heavy, but is alright with me as i always thought of it as a big motor trainer instead of a glider.
Some mods i am gonna make when i do decide to make this:
1) ADD AILERONS a must for most motor trainers
2) mod the tail so the surfaces don't "cross" and is easier to cut.
3) make the polyhedral wing only a dihedral at the wing joint, as it will be easier.
4) some kind of fuselage and power pod mod on how they are cut out, again for easier scratch build.
I do apprecieate the OG design but scratch building means harder to cut so yeah i simplyfy it :D
 
100% 👍 👍
Im still trying to process how the 2200 mah is going to fit....
and especially how badly fitting the power pod is to the fuselage of the simple soarer, thinking about just making a one piece fuse as the power pod did not extend the motor out by anything, only for swappable uses.

EDIT: yes i found out the power pod provides the bottom layer for the battery to rest on but that could easily be modded by changing the fuse design. And ill prob just go with a 850 mah until i get a 1000mah or smth as 2200 mah JUST IS TO BIG.
