Slow flyer for small area 4

Slow flyer for small area - Slow flying easy build

This plane is a very easy build and will fly slow Super as is at 100%, however, I have found the more you scale it up the slower it will fly. My last build was at 170% and it was perfect. Also, anything over 115% you can use a standard swappable power pod from flitetest. The way I do it is to print out a power pod but not cut the tabs, finish the build with battery, then use the power pod to set CG. At 170% that is 5.25-5.5 inches back from the leading edge. Then when I have that I just cut...

What power pack?

 

[sundown57]

at 100% scale, I liked both the A pack and the f pack. they both seem to perform about the same.

I think i remember this one... didn't it end up inside the enclosure at the school playground? or am I thinking of a couple of others?

 

[sundown57]

All together I build like 10 of these. I put 3 of them inside the enclosure. Plus one at a 150% scale. I hate that school more now then when I went to it.

Do you have a new place to fly?

 

[sundown57]

no that's the only place there is around here. we have very little open fields.

 

[BATTLEAXE]

Is it close at least or is it a drive to get to?

 

[sundown57]

it's close to home, like 5-minute drive, we live in a very rural area what lots of trees. there are just no open spaces at all.

You know what you will like about that plane you were asking me about last night... I can fly it in my back yard. And for how big it is that really surprised me when I found the testicular fortitude to do so

that's what caught my eye was the large wing surface, I was thinking it might be a slow flier.

Today I ran it at 30% throttle in the breeze on 3s. Runs really stable at 45-50%. The fun happens at about 70% on 4s though

 

[sundown57]

im gonna start building it this week. I should have a few evenings off , things are slowing down again finally

 

[sundown57]

i think buzzbomb is off tonight so we might be flying combat in real flight

I gotta get me some of that sometime, might improve my flying skills.

Does Buzzy fly full throttle on the sim all the time just like when he flies for real?

 

[sundown57]

yup we both fly straight out. but it's not the same as real life.

 

[Matthewdupreez]

would you recommend this plane as a trainer once scaled up to a c power pack size, how much would i need to scale it up?

 

[Monte.C]

Love that plane! Something along the lines of a Clancy Aviation Bee with the great big wing chord. Wow.
