Hi all
Info on my scratch build.
Took 9 sheets of FT foam board.
CG 2.5 inches from leading edge.
Present airframe weight, without 2 wing retracts or battery, 1970g
Power train:- 2 Sunnysky R2207, 1800Kv motors. (6s)
2 Gemfan 4.0x5.2, 3 bladed props.
2 Turnigy Plush 32, 40amp ESC.
6s Battery. 2, 2200mah 3s batteries in series giving 6s. Combined weight 360g
or 2, 3300mah 3s batteries in series giving 6s. Combined weight 566g
Freewing Electronic Retract for 5.1mm Diameter Shafts - Type C
I have done a couple more mods.
Firstly, I have removed the 2 retracts from the wing as the plastic mountings have broken and replaced them with fixed wheels to try out. I think that the cold weather combined with a waterlogged grass runway they have broken. I have also made the front nose leg retract shorter. (see pics)
Secondly, I am experimenting with different batteries for weight and flight times. Hence the 2 sizes of battery.
Also once painted I hope to fit strobe lights, 3D printed cockpit and missiles as my first A 10
Hope this info is of some help.
I am willing to submit the STL files of the ducted prop units if wanted.
