will it fly?
hey, sorry to be a noob but i have a 16t motor, pusher prop, other basic stuff needed, and styrofoam insulation, and the big 7.2v battery packs. is there any way a setup like that would ever leave the ground? ive tried making a few foam prototypes with no success

Since your in my neck of the woods..... i have some older batteries and motors that would probably help you, they are just sitting in a box and i'll probably never use them, shoot me an e-mail and let me know if you want them, yes, for free.

with the set up It should work in a glider 2 meter or smaller type example aspire hanger 9 but it sill will be slow and slugish
with anything now lipo and brushless but that cost $$$ night and day difference

RE: will it fly?
no not much luck, my furthest flight was about 50 feet and barely got 6 feet off the ground, still seems underpowered. I havnt had much time on my hands lately but hopefully get something going again soon, i want to look for a different prop set up, a puller i guess? i dont know what its actually called but propeller in the front. I just want a fairly small, slow flying plane for now. but not as slow as the last one..
