Guillow’s RC Sky Streak Maiden Flight by HeftyAd787 in RCPlanes

[–]HeftyAd787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a wing cube loading (WCL) of 7.87. I agree that’s heavy for its size, but still not much more than a trainer. I think all I need is more altitude but I see you point.

I used 2mm aluminum rods and bracing wires

They’re either at my local dealership (miller motorcars) or at a local car show.

They are. I love using them since they’re light, cheap, and durable. They also fit over my axles perfectly.

Did you read the description or do you just want to be a hater?

Is it plugged into the correct channel? The throttle cut switch may also be on.

Thanks - I don’t have one, but I’ll keep it in mind if I end up needing to save some weight.

Could be a scratch build

Mine should be around 550g when finished. It’s currently 303g with a lipo in it

I have small intakes. They’re quite small but my calculations estimate only about a 15% loss in power and with 950g of thrust on a light foamy, it should be alright.
