That's just insanity right there, but you have twice the space for miniature pilots to sit in and that's not a bad thing.
I finally got to fly my Simple Cub! I used what I had on hand, which is a Racerstar BR2205 2300KV motor and a 6x3 prop on 3S 1000mAh and 20A ESC. It is a little underpowered for pulling 11-12A but it is fine for flying around on my small field. It still will do a loop even at 20% battery and over 30mph, however most of the time I am puttering along at 22-25mph at around 6A. All up weight is just under 500g. I really like the tubby belly because it can belly land without the 6" prop hitting the ground and slide to a stop.
The joke here was that I wanted to paint my next plane bright pink so I could see where it is, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to name it Peppa Cub (after that cartoon pig I've never actually seen an episode of). The fluorescent pink really stinks though, because it is more like pink powder than paint. The day after I painted it, everything around the house was turning pink, and my transmitter had pink dust everywhere in it. I tried to do a second coat with clear to just hold the paint down and that helped but I'd never use this paint again. Also, it is way more pink than I bargain for.
I really dig the slide out electronics bay / power pod. I was able to mount the flight controller, GPS, receiver, battery, and ESC (on the bottom side) and it all just slides out so I can pull the SD card out of the flight controller or use the USB port. Connecting the elevator / rudder is easy enough through the hole on top, and the servo cables are long enough that I can access the battery without unplugging them. I also like that if I hate this layout, it is like a 5 minute job to cut and assemble a new pod; no making a whole new fuselage needed.
I built the wing without any dihedral and it flies just fine on manual-- plenty of stability without it. I built the wing with 5.5mm foam from Walmart (they had a run where all their foam was 1mm thicker than normal, and the paper peeled way easy). Instead of compensating properly for the extra thickness, I ended up with double the error in the thickness, so my airfoil is semi-symmetrical rather than flat on the bottom. In honesty, it is just curved, but it feels more professional to say I have a semi-symmetrical airfoil than saying I messed up and it came out round.
Still a pretty great 4ch plane that went together easily over a Sunday morning. Hopefully with this bright color and with my transmitter now showing GPS data, I won't lose this one any time soon!
