Default ZN Line Xigris Build Thread

Hi everyone,

I am going to do a little thread on the Xigris models that we constructed this spring. This is the C1 version which I guess would be considered conventional design. The C2 version is the same fuse but swept wings and big canalizer like the Axiome.

I got two standard ZN kits on May 25, and the models were test flown on July 1. I had a lot of help namely my good friend Nedim Bek who used to build for people, and did the Mantis kit. I am lucky to have him live close by He took the fuses and did that work, I took the wings/stab and did the wood stuff. Took about 5 weeks from start to finish.

Thanks to JP at ZN Line for getting the kits to me ASAP, it was a very last minute decision to fly this airplane.

My final setup is as follows

Motor: Pletty Evo 30-10
ESC: Schulze 32.80
Rx: Futaba 6008HS
Servos: Ail-BLS451, Ele-9650, Rud-9156
Batts: TP 5300 PL V2
Prop: Rasa 21x15 folding

RTF weight was 4860 grams, but I didn't have any stickers on it

Since this was a quick build, I may have missed some pictures. Most were taken with a cell phone so maybe not the best, but should be ok
