Hi everyone, I'm new to this field. I'm building an RC plane. The motor I'm using is Avionic 1350kv. As per it's test results, it provides 790 gm pull when using 8x6 propeller. My model weights around 650gm. Can I have a perfect flite ?

Live your dream and wear your passion



What type of model are you building? For a typical trainer model the ratio of T/w can be low.
However, your setup has more than 1:1, so it should be good to go at half the throttle.Thrust to W ratio depends upon several factors, especially the Aerofoil/ wing design.

For a trainer plane, the thrust ratio is definitely more than enough. Grin

Nice framework there in your plane buddy.  Smiley

I agree to the earlier comments. With your setup you shouldn't have any problems if it flies within a trainer portfolio.

Edit: Do you plan to post a build log of your build?  Drool

Don't add finish (ie, weight) now. Wait till after test flight.
Remember a golden rule: Simplify and add lightness!
Best of luck.

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



Thrust thrust thrust!

Forget this obsession!

Look first at wing-loading & wing cube loading! Consider the type of model - glider, trainer, aerobatic, pattern, 3D, scale

That will tell you how your model will behave in the air. Accordingly decide your thrust/weight requirement

@ Sreekumar VR
As Sanjay sir said, do not worry about the thrust
 If that plane is built well, it will fly well.
Some of my smaller planes used to fly excellent with a T/W of 0.75
Fly it first
Do check the wing loading.
Please post your plane's dimensions and AUW weight.

Well, looks like your plane will be a Hotshot. It will need atleast 60-75% throttle all the time. It will be fast. The wing loading is quite high for a trainer.

There you go:
The plane will fly fast and be quite aerobatic in nature. You'll have to fly it these are only predictions. Make a new one if you area beginner. Probably a FT Old Fogey.

What airfoil is it?

I used 2mm balsa used for fuselage, and wing frame, covered with paper coated thermocol sheet, (sanded).

I am asking about the Airfoil.
Please tell the Airfoil type.
You made it by hand but you may have used some shape for reference. I want to know that shape. I.e CLARK-Y,  NACA ¢¢¢¢ etc.

Well,
Looks like a symmetrical Airfoil.
That plane is a fully aerobatic sport plane. Will be very agile. With throttle, the speed will increase and to gain altitude, you will need to increase AoA. Completely opposite to a trainer.
It also looks as if you did not do the research before building the plane. If you would have, you wouldn't have put a symmetrical airfoil.
Can you make a bigger wing? With a flat bottom Airfoil perhaps?
Or build a tested beginner plane like the FT simple Cub or the FT old Fogey.
Keep the plane for later. Perhaps, when you are more experienced.
Regards
