RE: WANTED PLANE THAT WILL HOVER
OK- since no one else has done it - I will mention an inexpensive combo you can do
you need only the blue 1/4" thick foam -some 1/8 x1/4" spruce and some clear duct tape for the model - stick with 300 square in area - make it 30" span and 30" long.
done right -it will be under 4 ounces ready for equipment.
use the GWS 350 motor and their 5.3 -1 gearbox - 3 mini servos -a mini rx and most importantly two high discharge LiPo cells about 1200 ma.
the wing has an overlapped spruce spar - 1/8"1/4" spruce on edge overlap about 8" out
this wing is sturdy .
use the spruce as a motor stick and a rear fuselage stick
the exact profile means nothing - just look at them all and do a neat clean setup .
all up weight should be 10 -11 ounces -this will hover nicely on a 10" prop - try a few .
here is a pic of one of mine -
plans are available for lots of models but the weight is all important - once you hit over 12 ozs -you will work the motor pretty hard to get performance .
3 cells will give instant performance and a hot motor .
