Title: My new Scratchbuilt aircraft Post by: Sumeet on May 24, 2015, 02:12:57 PM Hello all,
It has been a long time since I have been away from RC and RCI. Luckily, I got a chance last week to start all over again in RC and built a plane. The Specs are: Wingspan: 40" Length: 30" AUW: ~550grm It was powered by: 1400KV 210W Brushless Bell type Motor 30A ESC 4 Micro Servos 1500mAh 3S 20C Lipo Maiden flight went all good. It was mild wind with strong occasional gusts. I hand-launched it myself and it went off. Once, an strong gust landed me in an Stall. The Plane handled the condition very well though and came back in control in just about 1-2 seconds. I also could manage to land it nicely. It was flying on Half throttle for most of the time and I am amazed how powerful this power system is... Anyways, Here is the Maiden Flight Video and some close shots... I hope you people will enjoy these... www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG-esJj7vks&feature=youtube_gdata_player Title: Re: My new Scratchbuilt aircraft Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 24, 2015, 05:46:46 PM Well done and welcome back {:)} {:)} :thumbsup:

@ashok baijal: Indeed, It requires a large flying field. It was very turbulent that day and My piloting skills are still on a very beginner level. So, Its better for me to stick with larger fields for now. But I am sure the plane itself can be flown in a smaller area with little wind. Thanks. Cheers.
