I think he's talking about the 4s he used in the Goblin.

That's right, I remember how long that lasted

Nope - that was my tattu 4s. This one I’m talking about is a Ovonic pack and it’s a bit bigger.

It's not a mini either so the crash would be an epic yard sale.

Haha - well it satisfied my need for speed - that’s for sure! It was fun while it lasted, but that wasn’t long...

An edf racer would be cool, I might try it next weekend with an old 50mm edf power system from a flyzone l-39

@BATTLEAXE I checked out the @Sero 's racer build that @BS projects inc. posted and I was thinking it would be cool to do a speed wing! I already got the wings cut out, but that shouldn't matter, right? I just peel the paper off the inside and then fold over, correct?

Yes, you can use a hot iron to flatten the foam on the edges, or a razor blade, or sand it.

Do I want a sharp trailing edge or a little thick?

Yea peel the paper from the LE to just behind the spar by about a half inch, you still want the back half of the wing to be rigid to hold it straight to the TE.

Remember the wing profile will change so the openings in the fuse will need to be changed as well to fit the rounded smoother profile

 

[BATTLEAXE]

Got the wing cut out, going with zero dihedral. Reinforced the spar with skewers on the top of the spar and pop sticks on the both sides...

Could really use your help on this one if you guys could give it a minute or two, much appreciated, Thanks
