You were born an original don't die a copy.




Here it is ! I have started building my first rc plane the ft old fogey. I have already build the body and the wing . My target wieght is under 600 gms. I am using emax Cf 2812 1200 kv motor with a 9*5 prop and a 1500 mAh 3s lipo. Had some trouble finding plywood so building the firewall out of plastic and would be using bicycle spokes as the push rods. I am using the flysky ct6b does anyone know it's range ?

Motor 2822 or 2812?

Bicycle spokes as pushrods? Not jhadu teelies with wire from gem clips for the ends? Much lighter...

Range?
Look at you model from 200 meters away.
In flight would you be able to see which way it was going? Much less control it?
Doubt if you’ll ever be more than 100 meters out. The radio’s range is far more than the pilot’s...

Construction looks nice. Keep us updated!

When in doubt, check out alternatives.
Like titanium, steel, aluminium, hardwood, ply, balsa, depron, thermocol.
All you have to do is a pull test.
If you can pull the motor out, you need a stronger firewall!

The Fogey looks fine!
You could use kitchen cutting board plastic. That's quite strong.

In your other thread about firewall material, you said
Will 5mm depron do the job or would have to make it out of wood ?
I am using the emax cf2822 motor with a 9 *5 prop.”


In this thread you say cf2812, 1200kv with 9*5 prop.

The cf2812 is 1534kv, not 1200kv and needs a 7*4 prop, not 9*5.

Pl verify which motor you have, and use appropriate prop.
Specifications attached.

@knvshrm,
So you finally found some material for the firewall. Hardboard!
Strengthen the holes with a spot of superglue (after removing the screws)

1. Check if prop saver is on backwards
2. Push the prop assembly close to the motor body, not at the tip of the shaft
