FT Spitfire [Update]

The spitfire was flown!! it flies very well, very easy to control and incredibly stable, the amount of dihedral the wings have may be helping out quite well. I have flown it a little bit tail heavy with the cg 6mm back from that specified by the Flite Test guys and it is still manageable, only just.

My motor is not up to the job of carrying the aircraft properly, although it does fly OK, if the condition were a bit windier it would have been a problem. The current setup is a 1400kv motor (160w) with a 7x6 prop, which is the limit for this motor. I have another motor 1400kv as well but it is rated at 580W which is quite powerful, also it is heavy meaning I might need to remove the nose weight that I currently have.  The proposed 2200mah battery did not correct the CG enough and I used the 3000mah battery. All up flying weight for the model was 750grams, the glide slope is very good even at this weight , the wing design generates a very good amount of lift.  This would be an ideal model for the Power scale sourer.  With a small battery and some lightweight mods it would fly amazingly I think.



Thats it for now and Happy Flying.
