I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Recharging the battery. You can see the new prop and pull-pull rudder. Like yesterday, just as the battery was finished recharging the wind kicked up. I tried to fly anyways and had a 20 second wild ride before doing a nose plant and breaking the prop.

I tried a 5" prop that I think came with the motor. Regardless, it seemed to privide more thrust and I had less trouble flying upwind and was able to climb fairly high.

Got out to the field again this afternoon. I didn't time the flight but I think it was about 5-6 minutes.

The RC club president showed up with his gas plane and gave quite a show. After he was done I tried to fly again but the breeze was too strong and I couldn't fly upwind, even at full throttle.

I got about 5 minutes of flying on the 300 mAh pack. If I power the radio directly from the battery rather than the ESC I should be able to run a bit longer before the low voltage cutout kicks in.

Lowering the ESC low voltage cutout to 3.5 volts worked. I also learned that the radio will cut out the motor if battery voltage drops to 3.8 volts.

The One Nite 28 motor RPM was too low for flight. The ESC low voltage would kick in if I opened the throttle too wide. It looks like I'll just have to lower the low voltage protect, time my flights, and kill the motor before the radio dies.

Went flying today but the wind was too strong for the lighter models. Here is the SIG Cub getting tossed onto its side.

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.

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.

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.

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.
