RE: 51

RE: 51

Z,

Thanks for that. Ya I can get balsa and things here, but I think the ply will be alot sturdier.

RE: 51

Z,

I meant that I needed a motor setup with at least 83 watts (.55 pounds) to give me 150 watts/pound. I have an electrifly 100 watt motor just sitting around which will give me about 180...

RE: 51

Jay,

Im building a 1/2 scale of the 51 inch (25.5 inch wingspan),...

RE: *Throttle Issues With First Electric*

You should also have a good watt meter. This will help you see if you are indeed getting all the power out of your motor. They usually go inline between the battery and ESC. My watt meter displays...

RE: reactor ep by great planes

I think I would pass on the reactor and other Great Planes Electrifly products until they get their act together. I was following some threads about the following Electrifly balsa ARF planes: yak 54,...

RE: GP Eagle 580 (Matt Champan cap 232) 50"

Looks like a nice airplane. I noticed you have the newest Electrifly Edge 540 too. I was curious if the Matt Champman Cap use the same XLC (eXtreme Light Concept, using carbon fiber) technology as...

RE: Tightly coupled rudder after repairs

I doubt I'll be able to get/measure the verticle CG, but what I was thinking about doing is trial and error raising and lowering the battery in the fuselage until the rudder is no longer coupled, or...

RE: Tightly coupled rudder after repairs

That's a great idea, I hadnt considered the "vertical" CG. It makes perfect sense considering the repairs that I made: mostly higher up towards the canopy. I'll make some adjustments and try it out....

Thanks for the welcoming :)
