Post by: ppcruise on March 01, 2015, 11:30:42 AM

Built my second plane ever after my Spitfire crashed and I needed some parts to repair it.
Picked to build the Slinger since it's just too awesome a design (again, thanks a ton flitetest.com for the awesome design)

Here is what went into it.

Construction - Dollar Tree FoamBoard (40" Wingspan)
Original Motor - Aerodrive SK3 2822 1740kv (got burnt during testing for no reason at all)

Servos - Hextronik HXT900 9gm
ESC - Turnigy Plush 25 AMP ESC
Propeller - APC Style 8x4E Prop
Battery - Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 25C
Receiver - FrSky X8R
Transmitter - FrSky Taranis Plus
Weight - 450gm w/o Battery

Extras:

i prefer to use color tape rather than paint it
tough to fly due to low wing and takes quick turns in fraction of sec
