The big bang of Mustangs

[Wildthing]

Also, if I go down in propeller diameter, but increase pitch, would I get more speed, and would I pull the same amps?

You need to get yourself one of these, doesn't have to be this one but lots to choose from and they are relatively cheap that way you can test each motor with whatever prop and you can adjust from there

Then one step farther is to also test the thrust with each combination so you can setup your power setup before it's even in the plane.

Kinda rushing this cause I want to go back to the DGA-6 build which will put all my other builds on hold for a while.

Ha, this is kinda how I feel! I’m in the middle of the bushwhacker build too! The mini mustang is pretty simple but it has taken some time. I got to work on the wing last night but I hadn’t prepped my servos so I shelved it at midnight.

I will be painting this one before I build it because it will make it easier to mask off and achieve the end result that I want.

OK so I decided to paint after I build, I second looked at it and think it will actually make it easier to paint after. I am still debating regarding the minwax.

If you got rainy weather it is highly suggested. As long as it is an oil based polyurethane it should work the same. Water just beads off the surface

So I have all the parts scored into the foam board and have about half the parts cut all the way out. I hope to get the rest done tomorrow or Thursday and then start cutting out the big mustang.

I’ve already tried it on scrap pieces and it works great just not fun to do.

Ok. It's taken some electronic surgery, but I've got a working 30 amp esc, 4 channel receiver and a 2836 1100kv motor. Full-sized Mustang it is! Whoots! Tonight I'm tracking down two twelve inch servo extensions, two six inch and four 9g servos. If I've got all that, then we are go for build!

How did you turn some of your lines red?

How did you turn some of your lines red?

Those are parts from FT's plans.
If I want to change a color of a line I'll hold "Shift" and then click the color from the color bar on the bottom of the window, that will set the stroke. If you just click you'll be setting the fill. Do you use Inkscape?

How do you change ft’s plans? Do you download them as a pdf and import them to Inkscape?

Yep download the Pdf, import into Inkscape and ungroup all the lines, then you can go from there.
