Squirt resurrection
Built this 5-6 years ago, flew maybe three times with balky engine and taped on hatch. Yanked engine, parked it, and it gathered dust. Recently pulled it down, and mounted a VA .049 MKII to it. Then I decided that needed to go somewhere else. So after running in the AME .061 and deciding I like it (25.5k on a 4.2x4 and throttles nicely), fitted that up today.
- drawing it in CAD now, MK II with built up wing and a couple of other tweaks
- added LG
- A/E/R, now adding throttle servo
- current weight 8.8oz, missing servo (8g), 250mAh smart LiPo (14g), tank (8g), and Rx (3g), so figure finished weight will be about 9.9 – 10 oz.
17.5” span, 6.25” average chord = 110 sq in.
