Wow that's a big motor what size is it?Getting closer, servos, control horns, motor and esc are in. Esc is under the battery try . Next the wing and canopy can go on.

It’s the motor off his SAB KR84! 🤣🤣Wow that's a big motor what size is it?
That's what it looks likeIt’s the motor off his SAB KR84! 🤣🤣

Nope, the one on the SAB has more umpfff. This has the (I want to be a NTM) but not even close but it is the Propdrive V2 2836 2700kv motor.It’s the motor off his SAB KR84! 🤣🤣
Looks great!!Locked and loaded ready for it's maiden, it is suppose to warm up here by the weekend and be above 0 .
Little side door works great and I can fit my 1800 3S battery in no problem, battery sits about 1/3 forward of the door for balance. I think with a lighter motor if the esc was near the front (under the battery tray) and a smaller battery right up front also it could balance out no problem. A person could then cut out a hatch in the canopy area for access instead of removing the wing.
Oh, it has really good vertical thrust , it should be fun even at 1/2 throttle

Thanks, hopefully we will get it out this weekend to test. I didn't put any landing gear on it yet, If it flies good I may do a set of skis for snow.Looks great!!
I'm using the same screw pattern as the FT Mini Firewall, you can copy it off of my Spitfire firewall.Going to update the plans with the couple little fixes and repost them.
@Grifflyer Question; what is the basic bolt pattern for the radial motors you guys use. I can make a 3D printed mount for it that will screw to my existing mount so changing motors won't be a hassle.
Nice, I just added them to the first postOk I think I got everything, now the plans are not colorful like all you guys do but if you have built one or two planes it is pretty simple to figure out
Updated plans with the corrections so if you downloaded the first one write over it and save these ones.
The 3D printed motor mounts, The one is the main mount which gets glued in, look closely at it it is angled down 4 degrees and 2 to the right. Non-tapered side is the side you glue to. This mount fits the standard X mount. The other 3D printed mount is to adapt your radial motors to the main mount, it has the 16mm X 19mm bolt pattern which should fit most motors . This mount then gets screwed onto the first mount with motor attached already.
Shrubsmacker flies and flies great even in the wind. Just to bad it is cold and windy out to go up a few more times and get it all trimmed in and throws set but fingers get cold quick. Oh, camera ang slightly bumped up .
Like a Xmas decoration, hey what timing, tis the seasonCongrats!! From what you said it sounds like it flew great!! Do you plan on painting it?
@BATTLEAXE Is your Shrubby still in the tree?
