I haven't planned about power setup. Once I complete with the servos for flaperons and the wire extension and motor mount, I will calculate the empty weight and then accordingly decide what to use to power this beauty. By now, I only have decided that the maximum prop diameter I am going to use is 8". As on parkjets.com, they say In pusher jets, the prop. diameter should not be more than 33% of its wing span. It will help to reduce torque role effect.

My F15 has ~27" wingspan. So, can go with 9" at max.

The main reason for choosing 8" is to prevent the prop itself by colliding with ground during takeoffs.

Foamy! please share your flying experience using your power setup once you maiden it. If everything goes right, I will follow your power system.
Are you going to program it to have flaperons on your one?

Thanks.

thanks guys.
sumeet,sukrut - yes the elevator assembly is a bit difficult. But I am going with the plans only to save addition of an extra servos as I already have the tailerons on f22. It was too difficult to make sure the two halfs wont touch the surface and have a seamless movement.
I will update the pics today.
roopeshkrishana - adding the landing gears may need either adding rudder or having a movable front wheel which would again require a servo.
The final weight (850 grams)  looks too heavy around 15 to 16oz/sqfeet. Probably painting is more heavier than taping.
Looks like mine is the heaviest in the forum builds!!. Have option for 4S setup. Lets see.

@ Sumeet,

for jets try to use prop with diameter 6", with higher kv motor this will give u better speed than bigger prop. also with bigger prop there are more chances that prop will hit ground and may eventually damage motor mount!!!

all the best

finally decided to go with emax2846, mounted the motor.
Somehow Emax 2846 and NTM 35-36 1800kv, both weigh the same (130grams).

And the best part.. Added elevator. and used props adapters as stoppers.
Used landing gear turning mechanism given by Sanjeev and it worked well.

You can take printout on decal label sheets which I dint have.

After having toiled so hard to carefully craft the bird and to get to the finishing stage, one of the toughest tasks is to overcome the anxiety of the maiden. All the best !!!

Checked static thrust with 6x4 prop,3S setup is around 620 grams with Emax 2846 2500kv motor.  ( I expected more though )
Final AUW has come to around 850 grams.
Wanted to have 1:1 thrust on this. May be next time  Sad
Will update the max current draw and power loading today.

Hello once again!

Once I thought to create a new build thread of My F15. but as this topic is about the same plane using same plan, why to create a new thread. So, I am posting the photos of my build here.

Dear Mr. Author(foamybuilder), Please forgive me if you wanted this build thread to be unique.   Bow

Here it goes...

First picture(26072011025) shows the spar inside the wing to provide a symmetric airfoil.

Electronic part is remaining to be configured. Will post more pics after I paint this beauty.

Thanks.
