Default RE: ModelTech magic 3d

Here's a couple of shots of the power system. The battery I stuck in for the photo is smaller than the one I plan on flying. I tested it this afternoon, and I got about 6 minutes at half throttle with the 2150 3S pack. I know that if I want to fly aggressively, I will need a larger pack.

I had to mount the motor 1.25" off the firewall to get it to balance. If I go to the larger battery, I just need to remove a spacer.

I also put on bigger tires to help it balance. The stock tires are very lightweight.

I guess I have plenty of prop clearance.

Still planning on a maiden this Friday....
