RE: CMPro Lancair
Finally got my electric Lancair flying. My early flights were not too fun, since I set the CG at about 72mm. Keep in mind that I have no fuel to add into the nose, so it ended up being quite tail heavy. I repositioned my battery and ended up at about 67mm. The plane now flys excellent, and is everything I hoped it would be. It is very fast and climbs like a rocket. The plane is not light, but lands fine with a bit of speed on a hard surface runway. Full throttle is not needed often, and I can get about 10 minutes of sporty flying using a 5-cell 3700 mah Li-po. The 4120/14 AXI outrunner pulls the APC 12X8E prop at over 10,000 rpm static. I removed the front wheel pant after a couple of rough landings due to the rearward CG, but it is back on now. Here are a couple of photos.
