brushless micro multiplex
Well ive had mymultiplex microjet on the worktable for about a week now and tonight i finally got the guts to test fly it. I installed an Eflite brushless 400 inrunner with a collet and the stock prop. A thunderbird 18A speed control, hitec reciever and tried the 1st flight with an 11V lipo. CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZYYYY The 1st 2 flights were about 30 secs each until I got it trimmed out right then I decided the 11V was too much for me right away since ive never flown jets B4 so i used a 7.4V lipo..Way better. It flew amazing at about a third throttle and when i hit full throttle it still rocked even with the 7V. Once you get this jet trimmed right and get it tamed its an awesome flyer. It coasts in quite nicely for landings as well and is pretty tough as i had a couple pretty rough landings. Once i get this beast tamed some more ill attempt the 11V again. All in all im pretty impressed with this jet for the cost.. It was about 50 bucks canadian and well worth the money. Im hooked on jets now.

RE: brushless micro multiplex
The MJ is a lovely plane to fly. If you want crazy then you need to go on a hotter set up. I am on No. 4 now and she has a Feigao 3,600 KV motor and I get 30,000 RPM on an APC 4.7x4.2. She is so sweet to fly. I would say go for an inrunner of no more than 3,000 KV to enjoy it, enough speed to thrill but not drawing so many amps that you start to have to get BIIIIIG ESCs and batteries.

RE: brushless micro multiplex
whogdriver - get a BUNGEE!!! It will save you potential heartache. Also, the plane will fly level with the elevons in an UP position and not level. Get the bottom of the elevons to be in line with the top of the wing trailing edge.

RE: brushless micro multiplex
Thanks, I've been considering building a bungee rail launcher. Do you use one? Already got the elevons in the up position for level flight. I've read where guys set them up a little higher to climb out on a hand launch.

RE: brushless micro multiplex
multiplex realised there were people having trouble launching this plane and you can get a dedicated bungee from multiplex.
