Guys,
I have four TP 45C 4S 5000mAh packs and want a decent airframe for them. Prefer 4S but am not opposed to 8S if something surfaces.
I'm not looking for competion so the added weight of 5000mAh doesn't concern me unless it throws the CG way out.
I fly turbines mostly and want a prop plane to experiment with gyros and just to have some fun flying as a change of pace. In the past I've had an osiris and a miss winds bipe and enjoyed both, but both are a bit large for 4S and too small for 8S.
Thanks for your input.
I have one of the Splendors - which is a 6 cell setup - BUT in weighing some of my five cell 5000 ma packs - they will work - with more prop and a 46 motor.
We have flown it using the 635 rx/ gyro setup -
and now without it and with linkages cut way back on throw more expo etc..
The plane really works -and may be just what you are looking for. very little couple -
Son Guy also has one of the latest Jesky FAI birds -Pletenburg motor etc- 10.5 lbs all up.- plus we have both flown a fair bit of pattern- so we do a bit of comparing on what does what .
Gyros can do a great job - properly sorted out - got five models using em -just to see -
-They DO really provide stability - more than one might imagine
they also can cause funny reactions on some high g maneuvers as you return to stable flight - it is a lot of fun.
