Mini Avispad (90%) Build Log
Tweet
I have the following electronics:
Motor: Turnigy 2826 1400kv
ESC: Turnigy Plush 40A
Batteries:
2x Turnigy Nanotech 950mah 25-50C
2x Turnigy 2200mah 20C
I wanted to build a plane using Coroplast that could fly with the 2826 motor and carry the 2200mah battery.
So, thanks to Sanjay Rai Sir and Girish Sir, I decided to make a 90% AviSpad.
Proposed dimensions:
Wingspan: 42 inches
Chord: 9 - 9.5 inches
Length of Fuse: 33 inches
I want to try and keep the All-Up weight of the plane (including a battery of 180g) to not more than 800g.
I have 3mm and 5mm coro. I plan to build everything using the 3mm coro, except the spar and formers for which I shall use 5mm coro.
I request experienced members to please provide tips regarding how I can keep the weight down.
Will try to post a detailed build log as I go along.

With 2200 mah battery, 2826 motor will be under powder, also with 42 inch wingspan requires more pull, use 2836 motor,

Too heavy. The 48" wing with servos, pushrods etc should be 220-240 g
