New Project: Axi Powered Aspire
I had an unpowered Aspire laying around so i got it down from the attic and started "playing". I wanted to put a motor in it for easy launching and to get it up to altitude easily and I had an Axi 2808 laying around so I put them together. However the nose of the Aspire is too pretty to be removed so I mounted the motor on the wing. I put it up high enough so it can fit a 12.5" prop. It is just a 1/4" basswood stick anchored in the wing root and it is surprisingly solid. I plan on making a nacelle/cowl for the protruding motor and stick because if left as is it is a drag inducing machine! I might get a bigger Axi too.
