have you checked the clearance for a 17 inch prop? I fly my first with a 14" and I know there are days where I cut grass with it.
Don't want you to end up building the prettiest lawnmower in Utah....
Matt,
Thanks, I have not got that far yet. Right now the motor is mounted. I was possibly thinking of a 17 inch prop due to the lower KV motor I am using. I know The diameter will be somewhere between a 15" to 17" prop. The diameter will also vary on the pitch of prop I use. At this point, I need to focus on completing this model. I am out of town until Sunday, I plan on getting a great deal done next week. I will continue to post pictures as I continue to finish this plane. I am looking forward to completing this Ultimate. I already have a covering scheme picked.
Have you heard anyone using flaps for the top or bottom wing? Has anyone have any issues with Aileron flutter, besides using one servo and bellcranks?
Thanks,
Tom
