droid, Comment for image # 8746 | 22 Jun 08 14:53 | Full view of plane ready to fly, 200g (7oz) -
I used the following equipment:
2 HS55 servos for elevator and rudder
1 ELE SB03 for the ailerons
Hacker A10-9L motor
Castle Creations Thunderbird 9 ESC
7.4V 800mAh Li-Po
Spektrum AR6100E receiver
Covered in transparent red Ultracote
I used some carbon fiber reinforcements here and there in the wings and langing gear, some 1/64 ply as well in strategic areas.
It draws 4A (30W) in what I think will be cruise and 7A (50W) full throttle, yielding ~ 10+ min flights (in theory).
No weight was required to balance the plane, that was nice. I will fly it soon - enjoying it as is (assembled) for now.
