"Uncle willie's" ME 262 Elec plans
Hey all
I recently got a set of "Unlce willie's" (big ebay plan guy) ME 262 E plans in the mail.
The design is based around the Astro 035G motors with a span of 55" and a fuselage length of about 40".
In the process of emailing uncle willie, I mentioned the small EDF thing and lo and behold, he included a reduced set of plans for a 262 with a 36" span. The fuselage is still going to be about 10" wide - - but . . . .
Im guessing I could possibly pull off an AUW somewhere around 3 to 3.5 lbs very easily but likely much lighter . . . anyone think I can get a set of wemotecs with speed 480's running - like 10 - 12 cells - to pull this beast off the ground??
I have never messed with these before and therefore have no idea what they are really capable of..
thanks
Phil

RE: "Uncle willie's" ME 262 Elec plans
We are just building an A10 63" span with 2x Wemotec mini fans 2 x Krontrontic Fun 400's, 22cells. sping air rectracts. estimated weight 95-100 oz, should give an excellent performance. We have flown brushed 480 motors in Wemotec minis with disappointing results.
I sold a bunch of old IC motors and other modelling junk on ebay, fantastic prices acheived and put the money towards the Brushless motors.
