I am supposed to have my Infinity the Monday after Christmas. I already have an AXI 4130/20 and an 8s Tanic to install.

I had this motor in a Hanger 9 P51 with 24 GP3300's and it flew the 10 lbs quite well. With the lipos, I expect the infinity to weigh in around 8-8 1/2 lbs. If this motor isn't enough, I will probably try one of the larger 5300 series AXI's.

I will post as soon as I start on the plane.

Jeff

That motor will be too weak. I´m going for the 5320/28 on 10s2p lipo and will prop for 50 amps. Abot 1700-1800W. That will be needed for unlimited vetical (vertical snaps, etc).

Spinner size anyone?
thanks

Joe,

I am going to go with the 110. I have a 2m plane I am doing electric so I want this to be a glow plane. I was looking pretty hard at it in Chicago and I was impressed to say the least. These airplanes are superlight. A electric conversion would be great for this plane.

Andrew

Just ordered one from Russ. I am going to try electric on this one. Either a Hacker or an AXI. Haven't decided yet.

You might also take a look at the new NeuMotors. I just got one for my IMAC plane. www.flydma.com is the dealer for them. Pedro is using one in his Impact, thread here someplace.

I just picked up my Infinity 90, and it is really impressive! I have been working on another airplane, but I imagine it will be put aside for this one. The aircraft is very light, with the wood and build quality are outstanding. The belly pan is a single piece running from the wing trailing edge to the spinner. This will be nice with the one-piece wing. The wing comes as a single piece with the center section glassed. The upper cowling is fixed fibreglass. The covering is nicely applied, and the colors selected are awesome! It appears to have a good hardware package with MK style control horns.

tph1, a 2.5" standard spinner will work, but I may order the 2.5" FAI.

If you ordered one of these, you will not be disappointed! I did not receive the manual with the kit, but it is to be mailed out when it is ready. I may not be able to control myself until then.

Nice job Fliton!

Rex Rutledge

Thanks Rex, mine should be here today or tomorrow. I can't wait. What kind of motor mount does it have/need?
thanks, Tom

Got mine today. Here are weights out of the box for those interested:

Fuse with rudder and canopy: 26.2 oz.
Wing: 22.2 oz.
Stab: 6.2 oz.
Wheelpants: 1.0 oz.
All included hardware including tank: 14.8 oz. (tank alone 3.2 oz.)

This plane is a marvel of engineering. The only part I feel could be made lighter is the rudder and stab. They are balsa covered foam. If built up, would be half the weight.

The wing is built up and fully sheeted.

The fuse is mostly balsa with ply only where required. The fuse sides are not light ply as I expected.

The belly pan, integrated cowl and the wheelpants are extremely light fiberglass.

It appear in my opinion, this plane was designed for electric from the outset.

I plan to electrify and with all the radio, motor, 8s2p Tanics and speed control, this thing only weighs 7.73 lbs.

I will post pictures in a while.

Jeff

Here are pictures.

More pictures.

Sorry, last bunch didn't show. Here, we will try again.

More.

More.

And more.

Jeff,

I'm glad to see you got pictures up, that will save me alot of time tomorrow. I was planning on posting pictures also. Still have plenty of planes left for those of you wanting one.

The batteries shown are 8s2p. I am just glad they fit well within the belly pan and won't require taking the wing off to change or charge.

Jeff

Oh, by the way, I need to thank Russ at Pattern Proz for letting me have the first one to come in. Based on what I have seen with this plane, they won't last long.

He also got a Quiet Storm for one of our friends at the same time and it is a work of art!

Jeff

Jeff, a few buddies are really anxious to see a build thread going here. Do you think you can provide some pictures and a few tips along the way? I love what you have done so far with the pictures and thank you for it. Beautiful plane!

Jeff,
What is the wing area - sq inches ?

tommy s

I would be glad to post pictures of the build.

I need to decide if my AXI 4130/20 on 8s2p will provide adequate power or if I need to step up a little with the motor.

Jeff

Basic measurement shows the wing area to be right at 800 sq. inches.

I´m pretty sure you will be disappointed in that motor in an airframe of this size and weight if you want any real vertical performance. I will most likely be using the new AXI 5320/28 and a 10s lipo pack with about 4000-4500 mAh total capacity. Something like TP 10s2p (4000 mAh) or a 10s1p pack of either Polyquest 4000 or 4400 mAh cells.

I ran the first tank through a new YS 110 that is going on mine. If it comes in under 8# the 110 should be sweet on it. Anyone else have or plan to have this motor on theirs?
Tom

Tom,
My YS 1.10 was my first 4-stroke so I asked a lot of questions to all the Houston area
pattern flyers who have been flying YS engines for years and almost all of them said
the same thing , break it in flying on the airplane , don't run it much on the bench. Run
it rich for the first few tanks but break it in flying.
There is a lot of good YS information on Don Ramseys Barnstormers web site.
