SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 22-Mar-08 23:15 | | Views : 1537 | SIG Cub that I threw together today. It should weigh an ounce, but it weighs 1.59 oz due to sheet wood that weighs 40 lbs/cu.ft! Somehwere a guy restoring the roof of a Model A is wondering why he got balsa instead of the ironwood he ordered. |
SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 22-Mar-08 18:57 | | Views : 1244 | This picture pretty much sums up how my R/C mod flies. AUW is 5.82 ounces, which makes the wing loading 6 oz/ft^2 (nearly as much as the MM Hellcat). Mostly to blame is that I have 3x110 mAh NiCd for the motor and 4x300 mAh NiMh for the radio and servo. |

SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 13-Mar-08 04:54 | | Views : 1513 | AUW is 120 grams, it was 62g with rubber FF and 92g with electric FF. I am eyeballing some undeveloped commercial property just around the corner from my house, one of the grassy lots might be just the ticket for flying this plane. |
SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 13-Mar-08 04:50 | | Views : 1277 | Rudder is attached with CA hinges and is connected to a servo borrowed from the MM Hellcat. All that remains is to install the ESC when it gets here. I could run it w/o the ESC but having throttle control and a reliable BEC voltage is worth the 3 grams. |
