Whiplash Ready For Launch
Syd,
Hope you don't mind a few more questions as I'm working on my Whiplash. 1) Are you happy with the control throws/deflections and the expo that you previously posted? 2) How far from the inboard edge of the elevon are your horns mounted? 3) What was your method of measuring/setting the engine thrust, (2 degrees right)? In other words, how did you come up with a reference line or point? 4) Have you tried another prop? Perhaps the 8.8 x 9.75? Thanks again for all your help. I've sanded and spot filled and really worked a long time today getting ready for primer. |

Whiplash Specs
S3HD:
The control throws I listed are working great. You need at least 30 degrees up elevator for good landings. Ric mounted my small Robart horns 3/4 inches from the edge with a slight angle towards the servos. To set the engine thrust, stand the Whiplash on its trailing edge and mount a disk on the front of the engine where the prop should be. I use a Sears angle finder to get my 2 or 3 degrees right thrust then I drill the engine mounting holes. Don't carve any more from the engine mount than you need and make a nice snug fit. With a Jett 50 you will have to carve out some of the mount just to get it in there. Just got my APC 8.8-9.75 props today and will be doing radar runs this week. Don't forget to use a sand paper washer on the prop driver of the Jett 50. Syd |
