RE: Sweet V Assembly Thread
Lets see....what's left.
I used a 500 mah LiFe battery by ProTek. Been using these in all my race planes last few seasons and very happen with them. I cycle them about 15 times before first use as recommended on the A-Main hobbies site where I buy them. My ninja's typically use about 30 mah per flight. Did some banging of the stick constantly with throttle on shut off for 5 minutes and used about 45 mah so feel comfortable there is plenty of margin.
Battery tucked nicely into area by one of the servos. You can get an idea where it is in the picture showing me cycling it in the plane.
JR 921 Rx may be a little on the big/heavy side but finished ready to fuel I am only 63.2 oz. Does not include wheel pants and I still need to add a little lead tape to get it at starting cg of 2 1/16" from leading edge.
921 also means I can get 11ms response instead of 22ms with Rx like AR7010. If there is anytime I will notice the difference it will be in this. 200 mph means 3 feet covered in 10 ms.
Also the AR7xxx I had in there gave me no throttle response once for no reason I could figure out and with something like this, if in doubt, its coming out and I had a 921 that's been trouble free but was not in use.
A little lead tape on port wing underside wing tip to help with lateral balance. Guessing it will need more but will trim following methods described at Dubb's site.
Oh yeah, add the nice graphics from Kirby's Custom graphics. He has Ninja and Sweet V loaded into his design software and many existing designs. This is a variant of I think a Randy Smith design.
I've used him for my IMAC stuff as well. Great to work with. Use Rapid Tac liberally and squeegee patiently and turn out pretty well except where the leading edge wing yellow section was long enough and there is just enough of a compound curve that I didn't do as nice a job getting that to be smooth as I would of liked and ended redoing some of the outer part of the panel.<br type="_moz" />
