Title: Air Truck - Scratch built with ready plan for 4th anniversary sweepstakes Post by: cheluvaraj on March 23, 2013, 11:21:35 PM Hi All,
This Air truck is a slow flyer. I like slow flyers as a beginner, so started building the same. This is done using 5mm caro and ready plan. slightly I made some changes to this plan.

this is what i'm planning, and suggested by the plan provider 1000 kv motor with 8-9" prop 20AMP ESC 3 nos of 9 grams servers Thanks Cheluvaraj Title: Re: Air Truck - Scratch built with ready plan for 4th anniversary sweepstakes Post by: lastRites on March 24, 2013, 02:39:17 PM 5mm Coro? What is your target AUW? Will the electronics be able to fly this bird ??? If it flies slow enough for a complete plane noob (read me ;D ) would you please share the plans? From the looks of the airframe, it may tend to be tail heavy. Best of luck!

Go for atleast 1800 KV. The prop size and servos what u chose seems to be all right. Plus, ESC will change if u change the motor. I fell 35 Amp Esc will be required. here. From the pics, it seems to have a span of about 1200 mm plus minus How much is the span and AUW? . that will help you decide the motor, prop and esc. regards, Aditya.

Title: Re: Air Truck - Scratch built with ready plan for 4th anniversary sweepstakes Post by: lastRites on April 11, 2013, 09:38:50 AM Did you use a wing spar? If you haven't flown it yet, consider using a spar (wooden, Alluminium or CF) or the wings may flap or flutter.
