I know this is an old thread, but I finily got a Little Toni from a RC swap meet new for $100 with servos.
The seller had a .61 2c that he removed from the bird, I do not use nitro on any plane I have. so I was thinking a DLE20 would be great motor for this bird.
But I have 2 DLE 30's laying around doing nothing, so Gess what guys a DLE 30 will just fit!!!!!
It came out to 8.25 pounds ready to fly, I put my 5 cell reciver pack, and 4 cell nicad pack for the ignition, in the tail after the tail former. The only led needed was 5 of the little led peaces in the wing to counter act the motor, Side CG.
I did my first really quick maden flight today durning lunch.
The DLE30 has a built in rev limitier at 10K and the only prop I have laying round was a 16X10 APC (prop speed of 95mph). So this prop at 10K was great! But I got a 15X14 APC comeing in the mail!!
And Im sure It to will spin real close to 10K if so thats a prop speed of 135mph, and with the thrust of this set up it should come real close to that speed.
I can say she is as fast as my stock GP Rifle, but my goal is to have a gas powered bird thats is close to 150mph.
Also I did kill the motor off durning landing, and it was a great landing plane at this weight.
Sorry it was such a rush I had to shair!
Wow, thats insane
