Title: RCI 6th Sweepstakes : Mini Floater Post by: vishalrao on July 11, 2015, 10:22:51 AM This is based on the Whale (http://"http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/rci-6th-sweepstakes-the-whale-light-weight-slow-flying-foamie/") design but modified slightly to include a function landing gear. The Whale was a success but I felt that it could do well with a landing gear. This however would mean forgoing the low cg design and use a conventional design instead. The fuse construction will be same as the Whale due to it's simplicity as well as light weight. The same wing will be used as of Whale.
Started the build yesterday... Fuse ready... Title: Re: RCI 6th Sweepstakes : Mini Floater Post by: vishalrao on July 11, 2015, 10:24:38 AM Motor mount fixed, electronics access door made, Motor/ESC fixed...
