Default RE: Twist 3D 60 ARF

ennyka,

Here are some pictures of the RCGF 20cc on my Twist 60. I cut some off the cheeks, but it was not really necessary, it was just easier to work on it that way. I only use 1 battery. It is a 2000mah 6volt sony enelope battery pack. I invented my own battery eliminator in place of the normal battery used for the ignition. This helped a lot as far as weight is concerned. The one battery is located just behind the back of the canopy. I made a hatch in the bottom of the fuse just behind the wing to make it easier to get to the battery. It balanced out without adding any weight. I just weighed the entire plane, and it weighs 8.0 pounds, but my digital scale is only accurate to the 1/2 of a pound. I used 3 1/2 inch wheels and I added extensions to the landing gear because I was not happy with the ground clearance with my 16 x 8 APC prop (I fly off a rough grass field). I also split the alerions in the middle and added 2 extra servos and programed the crow feature on my radio, so there is some extra weight with the 2 extra servos also. I hope to maiden it next week some time if the field is dry enough and the weather permits. I'll keep you posted.
