SteveM | 14-Mar-08 05:00 | The Corsair is ready for her maiden, AUW is 53 grams. I will add more detail after it has flown. I have two seperate sources that say the wing area and weight are a good match to the motor, battery, and prop, but the thrust just seems weak to me. |
SteveM | 14-Mar-08 05:09 | No wonder I think it is under powered, in this configuration the HiLine Micro-4 motor only gives 15g of thrust. If I find it doesn't want to fly I can boost the power by adding another battery cell, but they claim this should work.
I should also have mentioned that the motor, battery, prop, and associated wires/switch/jack weigh 25 grams, nearly as much at the airframe. |
