do you think I could add a bigger fuel tank later on? I know you'd have to re-arrange the battery and receiver but could it still be in a safe position protected by foam?
oh. nvm the tray does not fit...
You could but there really is no reason to.
When I said you would get 8 to 10 minutes flight time at full throttle that was at full throttle. In an average flight you spend alot of time at near half throttle. 15 plus minutes of flight should be no problem at all.
Granted I only flew mine 16 times before its final demise, but all 16 flights where plenty long and I was ready to land, you can only fly so long and you need a break. There was plenty of fuel left after each flight. In fact in the approximately 85 flights I have had in multiple aircraft I have never ran out of fuel.
Believe me that tank is plenty big. Get a good flight in, land, take a short break, refuel, go back up.
Thanks for the info. Are the flaps precisely controlled?
Sorry, can't answer that one. I never did install a servo for the flaps. I flew with the flaps down the first 2 flights and found the airplane very difficult to handle and I left the flaps up from then on.
