Oddly, I have been looking at overpowering this one, I'm most likely going to crash it so I though in the vein of the oversize FT build I would stuff a big motor and esc in it.
I saw this one, DYS D2836 1500KV Brushless Motor 2-4S and it peaks my interest.
It should swing a big prop.
The original Corsair swung a 14 foot prop, the odd wing shape was to get the landing gear low enough so the prop didn't dig in during rotation.
it went faster than other planes with the same engine. So with electric I need a bigger motor to swing a bigger prop, right?
Yeah, I know I can play with pitch to control the amps but whats the fun in that? If it wont go vertical using the ailerons and rudder to keep it straight its under powered!
BTW I learned to fly in Alaska, in a red Super Cub with a beefed air frame, a 180 horse Lycoming, clipped wings and floats. Tom taught me to fly before I started taking lessons, my "log book" instructor quickly realized that I had flight experience and so he pushed me harder, like landing straight in a cross wind instead of crabbing in with a tricycle setup (on the second training flight), so I floated it until it quit and touched down on one wheel kept it straight until the other two touched. We flat spun the same Cessna even though it wasn't rated for it, because he said I needed to know how to pull out of that. So I got good quick because of those 2 pushing me. Tom had let his instructor rating lapse and trained me so I could chauffeur him around the bush. A Super Cub on floats is the best fishing machine EVER!
Fast forward about 30 years of not flying, I put Real Flight view where its like Im in the plane and so much comes back and I have no problem landing anything. I switch to the view where I'm standing on the ground (rc model like) and I have crashed an embarrassing number of times.
Argh!
