I already have a new prop & slot wing built and ready for the maiden tomorrow. It's the Combat Arrow:
This is based on the original FT Arrow which is supposed to have the F pack, could be run on the A pack as well I am sure. I had built the Arrow before and tried to fly it back in the day when I couldn't fly and it didn't go well. I had the throttle to high to fly as a noob and like any noob you forget your name once the plane is airborne. I could have throttled back and had a wing to play with for longer then 45 seconds but it's the way it goes.
This time the Combat Arrow has the same motor as I had in the Spear, just smaller, similar in size to the 22. Has the folded wing, not KFm so it might be able to take some hits along the LE. It is a bank and yank AET as opposed to elevon style, the tail is attached with 2 CF rods short coupled back to the elevator/Vstabs. The prop slot was widened to 8 1/2" from 7 1/4" to fit a 8" prop nicely. There is a hatch in the top of the wing to house the Rx, and the fuse is basically a power pod type box glued to the bottom to fit the battery, ESC, and firewall. I did do a glide test on it and balances right on the original marks from the plans, which makes sense. The plane in flight balances on the wing not the fuse so it doesn't matter what you put on it as long as its even on both front and back.
I liked the size of the FT-22 with this same motor set up for speed and handling. This may be the same weight as the 22 but a little more drag... maybe. The 22 had the intakes and some extra stuff to make it look like the real jet fighter where this is bare bones machine, no frills. Only the essentials. It wont get a pretty paint job before I abuse this one to see what I can do to make it better. The only thing I would add to it now would be a sacrificial nose for looks and impact absorption. Maiden will happen tomorrow. Stay tuned
