Here is my Neocat that I maidened today. Mods include the tail mounted HS-125MG elevator servo and rudder servos on the inside booms. The flights went very well. Weather wasn't too great, 10 to 20 mph winds though. Power is good with my Scorpion 4025-10, but I think I will end up going to 8 cells from 6 to make full use of the motor. As it is, the system puts out about 1,500 watts (motor is rated at 2,000) with an APC 12x12 prop. 51 amps. I wish APC made a 12x14 though. Tried a 13x10 as well, but ground clearance is at a minimum with this prop and the speed wasn't as great. Anyway, here is a pic. Hope to get more flights in tomorrow with the better weather!
Any video on the horizon?
I was about to but the neoplanes version, but my Fiance somehow found one at the last minute and surprised me for my birthday, so I am curious to see how this one flies despite the fixed gear. I wonder how the plans compare to eachother? (nitro vs. neo)
I bet on electric this is pretty sweet!
