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

Can't wait to see it in the air. mleduc 04-Jul-08 10:49 Awesome looking with the new wheels and motor set up. I have to ask, why did you chose to modify the vertical stab to fit the plank elevator rather than do a cut-out in the elevator? Is it just easier that way?...inquiring minds want to know. I'm already planning a red, white and black scheme for mine. :-) mleduc 04-Jul-08 10:52 Awesome looking with the new wheels and motor set up.

Once the lipos arrive it will be up and away, my older Kokam 600mAh can not handle the load of the motor. I would also use carbon push-rods like my DR-1 to keep the tail lighter. I did replace the steel skid with a simple carbon rod in this revision. I can see red white and black looking very stylish for such a classic plane ! look forward to seeing your (mleduc) plane posted as well. droid 12-Jul-08 22:07 Well it flew for the first time today after the engine swap, and what a difference ! It has no problem taking off (unlike my DR1) and climbs almost straight up at full throttle. It cruises at 33% throttle and at that rate should last ~10 minutes in the FlightPower 350 2 cell. At 50% throttle it lasts in a test case (on the ground) for 6 minutes with enough reserve to land. The engine and prop act as a brake (no engine brake, prop just free-running) without throttle, and if you want to glide this one you will need a folding prop. Control surfaces move ~30 degrees (+/-) and this provides very good control, it turns on a dime and loops just fine. Landings are easy at low throttle. C.G. is at 50% of the chord, which is ahead of the recommended point (!). This plane is great for park flying and in your front yard. Please sign in to comment on this image.
