Silhouette 3D from Great Planes

Silhouette setup as recommended by GP - fooling around a bit. It flies like it is filled with helium ! Using HXT 5gram servos from HK and 11.1V 750mAh LiPo. My flying skills do not do this foamie justice, it is pure magic to fly.

use a turnigy 1050Kv motor with hobbyking 15-18A esc TRUST ME and corona metal gear servos. better than GP's setup.

@mrfourtysevenman Thanks for the comment. Are you referring to the Turnigy 28-30 1050kV motor ? I have one in my RichModels Firedragon, it is a powerhouse. Where do you get the Corona servos from ?

[mrfourtysevenman]

@innervoid375m yes. and this is the servo.

@mrfourtysevenman I've never noticed these servos on their website before. Will try them.

[mrfourtysevenman]

@innervoid375m okay but DO NOT put 6 volts into these. they are already very fast and responsive for anolog servos. do you have any tips on how to strengthen the elevator? the side of the elevator that is not connected to the servo flexes. im thinking of making it have 2 elevator servos.

[innervoid375m]

@mrfourtysevenman I've noticed it too, and used fibre reinforced tape on the top and bottom of the involved elevator half, along the oblique edge closest to the rudder, up to the hinge line. It improved but is still present.

@CYCO274 its a 11x4.7 slow flier prop i believe. i also use a wooden master airscrew 10X6 but not as good for 3d but still good.

[CYCO274]

@mrfourtysevenman what prop would be good for that set up?

Nice flying. Great flat spins.
