@Matthewdupreez - perfect trainer for that motor. However, it is not a slow flyer.

that's fine i've got a big field... can it fly as 3ch or only 4ch?

You could fly it without the rudder, the turns will just look a little sloppy

aaah i meant rudder.. elevator.. and throttle for 3 ch.

It has no dihedral so you could not fly it as a 3 channel

ok cool... how many sheets of foam does it use.... i'm guessing 2 or 3
Yes, it'll work perfect!
You can fit it on two sheets if you attatch them together on the long side. I used one sheet of maker foam (30x40) and I was able to fit all the parts on it. However, if you are cutting it out of 20x30 sheets it'll use three.
It should work as a 3 channel RET if you add enough dihedral, but I would recommend making it a AET and if you need, you could use one servo on the ailerons. I did it on one of mine and it worked well, but you have to route your rubberbands underneath the pushrods if you mount the servo to the top of the wing.

Question:
Can I fly this on a B pack with no thrust angle? I didn't see any on the plans, and the forum search function didn't turn up anything relevant.

Yes. It will fly like a trainer and balances well with a 2200 3S

Cool! I've got one of those and a 3S 1300 with the right plug.
Like @Arcfyre said, yes - it will work perfectly! You'll probably want to shift the wing back a little to help with CG since a 1300 is on the light side.

Just actually maidened mine! It was a bit sketchy at first but flew great after I trimmed it out.

My friend might want to build one too, and he would get this motor and esc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZRCY23X/?tag=lstir-20
Would it work?
What prop should he use?
What battery is recommended?

Way to go, great maiden! I’m very jealous of your flying field, that’s an awesome runway!

Yeah, it's pretty nice!
For that motor I would build it slightly smaller, probably 85 or 90%. You can use any 6” prop. The ones that come with that motor are pretty good, but if you have to buy another I would get the APC 6x4.

Really? My emax cf2822 has less kv and is lighter, and I built it full size.

But that also makes sense in a way. Idk I'm not good with that stuff.
