Finally finished, fitted out, tuned & ready to fly.

Build Specs

I’ve fitted an 1100KV Bixler 2 motor (because I had several), with an 8×6 prop drawing 16A WOT and producing 177W

I’ve also tried a 7×6 prop which drops the current to 11A WOT and produces 126W. Just a matter to see which flies best!!

It is very slightly nose heavy (around 1-2mm forward of recommended) which should be good for its maiden flight.

All up weight 620g (including 1300mAh 70C 3S LiPo flight battery) which according to the Build specs is 20g overweight for LW-PLA but they use a 1000mAh LiPo battery. Probably means the stall speed will go up to around 25-26 kph.

Hopefully Maiden will happen on Wednesday 14/06/2023
