@BillCranford 4 ай бұрын

Dual rates help with about 8mm of throw in each direction for launch, 5mm for high speed 40% expo 3/4 throttle have a friend give a good level toss at a 25 degree up angle. Be ready to give a little up and right to fight the torque. A failure to launch can be repaired as I’ve done it like 10 times but if you put this in at full speed it’s going to be pieces!Good luck :)

@andykular3756 4 ай бұрын

I run mine on 6s but lose the servo action when going high speed. I get servo control back when it slows down. Also your motor will burn out. The esc will be fine, but the magnets on the motors will wear out on 6s

i ran mine on a 6s quad batt and a 7x5 all else stock. if you start running into torque roll issues move out the servo horns. I had trouble going to anything below a 7 in diameter prop since most of it is covered by the cone. Before you tell me ill blow up my spedo ive flown over 100 packs through with a 8 x 8 on 4s and 20 with the 7x5 6s setup. All on the stock power plant.

Hi I find the stock prop abysmally inadequate and a disaster waiting to happen so I'm not going to even bother using it and frankly you would think freewing wouldn't go down the same road FMS did with exploding prop adapters it was the main cause of catastrophic mid air explosions of the assembly usually resulting in the mounts and nose being destroyed Any suggestions on the prop adaptor and prop to use would be appreciated

@BillCranford 6 ай бұрын

I never even used the stock 4 blade. If you have 6s batteries I’d just go the same route I did. The stock motor and esc handle it fine.

I have a similar setup. Except on 4S, 7x6 prop, no sure of the motor, think it's around 1900kv. IIRC I clocked mine on GPS at 163mph (263kph) in a dive with a good tailwind. I would say yours is of similar speed. Ridiculously fast. I think yours is a lot faster than 140mph.

If you had telemetry or a radar gun, you may be surprised! In my opinion, that is faster than 140 mph. Back in the early 1990s, my brother designed a foam/balsa plane powered by a Fox .36 glow engine running a 9X8 prop. Your plane appears to be going at least as fast as ours and our plane did 150 mph.

@BillCranford 7 ай бұрын

Thanks! I do have a skyRC gps unit I plan to put in it. There’s no room in the battery bay so I’ll have to take the wing off and tuck it inside the rear of the fuselage. I was being conservative with my guess, I agree it’s probably closer to 150mph.
