South Point Races

I just put my pj nose down onto leccy scale and zero the reading, fired her up and I get around 650g of static thrust.... no wonder they accelerate vertical my PJ is only 360g all up!  :D

My twins almost ready for her maiden, just need some props :/

She looks a bit goofy but I can live with that.

[Pasty]

the motors look tiny  :o

[hexo]

Its got motors on it?  :o  :+  :P

[g.collins]

thay do look tiny, whens the first flight then.

they're 2830's of around 1300kv, on 4s each motor with a 7x6 prop should kick out around 300w power, 700grams of static thrust and a pitch speed of around 90mph.

On the scales last night all up she comes in at 1200g so she has around 1400g of thrust on tap, thats better than 1:1 power to weight ratio.... should be plenty for blatting around.

I need to sort some props and then shes being committed to air.

Sounds like you have your formula sussed out, when will it be committed ?

[Pasty]

looking at the weather it might be sunday, if not I'm away next week so will have to wait.

Very nice :) Pretty fast when you nail the throttle too :)

[Pasty]

I like the sound it makes once its spun up a bit... rips the air :), check out around 1min in.

I have to say that I'm really pleased with it, she flew really solid yet very nimble with it, it'll fly slow and pull its skirt up reasonably well too, nothing got hot or over stressed even after a few minutes of being blatted around pretty hard and its good for 10-12mins on a 2200 4s.

By the way it flew I can see it'll be fine carry any extra weight too, FPV gear, bigger flight pack, airsoft rapid fire gun, bombs.... you get the idea... oh and as she handles the wind well should be good for the unlimited racing.

[Pasty]
