Good use of hot glue and parcel tape! Good luck with the maiden.

Liam B. · January 04, 2014, 08:34:53 PM

Its "plastic reinforcement" ;D
Cannot wait to fly tomorrow!

Nothing atm, the vid'll be LOS to capture the crash!

Nah, in sure you'll be fine, but I have to say the adrenaline does kick in when you take the goggles off and the pane is nowhere in sight.
Happy flying buddy

Liam - make sure that prop is on the correct way round. Writing should face the front! :o

It'll seem like it is still pushing air in the right direction, but you'll have nowhere near the same amount of thrust!!!

Well spotted Tim :)

Liam B. · January 05, 2014, 03:26:21 PM

Swapped it around so the apc prop was correct!
So it flew, I had to take off with a tail wind to avoid a road! It's very underpowered, I fought to get it up, then landed!
Thought at one point I'd have lost it after the wing pushed a wing over!

My old hawk Skye suffered the same way.

Stock - it has plenty power.

But just the weight of a go pro made it fly like a dog!

You will need to look at a different prop/motor to get some oomph into it.

Yeah, going to keep this prop and put a 2200kv on!

rob.thomson · January 05, 2014, 05:37:28 PM

Yup.

Annoyingly, the pusher config makes it difficult to increase prop size much!
