RE: Extra 2X2
Hi All
My 2x2 has flown. I built it with an OS140RX to keep it light so I could use it as a backup Pattern and backup IMAC model.
I put ALL the servos up front and used a bell crank pull pull for the elevator. The model weighs 5.4kg with a lipol and 300g of nose weight.
I took out the lipol and nose weight and replaced it with a 340g 6V 2400mah nicad.
How does it fly?...............beautifully!!!
It will fly F3A and IMAC. After flying it around to see how it rolls, loops, snaps and knife edge looped, I pulled vertical did a 2 of 4 and positive snap in opposite ..............easy!
It balanced well behind the recommended cg range. It will fly inverted hands off. I would prefer it to be a little nose heavier, but at this light wing loading it doesn't have a nasty bone, so I'll leave it.
Cheers
