Quick build "Composite" e-Taco
Well, it wasn't really that quick, but it shoulda been. Typical built up balsa wing, no sheeting. Fuse, tail, and ailerons of 6mm depron. 1/4" aluminum/carbon fiber spar down the center of the fuse.
Mega 16/15/4 geared 3:1
3S 2600 Polyquest
APC 12x6E Prop
hs-55 servos on ailerons and elevator
hs-81mg on rudder.
18A WOT
27 oz AUW
Flies great. In spite of huge gusty winds today I was able to hover, knife edge, etc. Unlimited vertical. For better pull-out from hover I plan to gear it to 2.6:1 next time.
