might be OK if you just wanna cruise around.would need 4s for any speed.

Really?! On a tiny wing weighing 700g? I doubt it will be a slouch...

But Perhaps a 1800kv motor would be a good comprimise between speed and efficiency on 3s. (Or run that NTM motor on 4s) There just don't seem to be many small 1800kv motors out there.

Wow that is a beast. 400W from a 28g motor?!?!?

Aw crap... dont say that... I've just ordered 4 of the RS2205 motors (well they came with the kit).

They are still decent motors, just not as good as the new ones. If they are the newest 2205 i think they actually improved the motor shaft after so many complaints.

At least if you need spares (c clips ping off, motor mount snapped or bearings) i have plenty for you. ;D

Has anyone built and flown theirs yet?

Jake Bullit · January 12, 2017, 10:44:33 AM

Flew mine LOS this week.It was really windy so wasnt`t easy to test.Only did one battery ,had plenty of power,I didn`t go much above 3/4 throttle .
Will give it a proper test,when the weather calms down and I can get the goggles on.
Heres a snippet of the flight which was about 8 mins total,not sure how much of the 2200 battery was used as it was to cold to hang about.
Take off was .....interesting :laugh:

It looked pretty stable in the wind to me.

Is it a 2200 3s or 4s?

Jake Bullit · January 12, 2017, 07:47:45 PM

That was with a 2200 3s and 6x4 prop.

Glad I bought the kit version now

Billy_boy_2010 · January 14, 2017, 09:18:02 PM

Good link gt40

Yes me too. Can't wait to get mine in the air. Just need a damn ezuhf rx for it now!

Russ · January 15, 2017, 09:43:18 PM

I have had the kit version now for about 3weeks! I must get round to building it. Mine will be a simple setup, I have ordered the new runcam swift 2 fpv cam so will have basic flight pack voltage

Billy_boy_2010 · January 15, 2017, 10:06:24 PM

Mine's half built I'm waiting for some servos and I'm ready to rock.

I really want to rock on 4s but the 2200 4s which will fit is only in stock in Oz only.

Russ · January 15, 2017, 10:13:59 PM

I have a couple of turnigy 9gram 1.6kg pull metal gear servos do you reckon they are up to the job on 4s batteries?
