  • Hi bilbon63, this plane flies very well with the CG at 50 mm. If you place the CG further back the plane will be very unstable.

    Best regards

  • Hi Hallobaaaby , my Discus has a Turnigy TR 35-48-B 900kv equivalent: AXI 2826, Graupner CAM 13x7 propeller carbon, battery Zippy Lipo 3s 2200mA 20C, ESC 50 A and UBEC 3A,all this generates 390 watts and consumes 34 amp.

    The finished model weighs 1900 grams and whith the engine at 100% goes up to 45 degrees quickly at high altitudes.

    I think your engine is more than enough, but you should check that the engine weight is not too large.

  • @QS27MDQ

    Thanks alot for your reply and info!! I stayed with the 500w/45A motor. It gives good ballance so that the tail isn't too heavy, hope it will fly :) The man in the shop advised me a 60A ESC but i insisted on 45A ESC because the 60A one is without BEC. I don't think it is wrong to use 45A ESC with my motor, after all gliders don't go full gaz all the time. What is btw "900kv"?

  • @hallobaaaby

    900 kv means that the engine runs at 900 r.p.m. per volt applied, if the battery is 12v engine runs at 10,800 rpm (In theory)

  • Hi, could you tell me if you added any down or right thrust to the firewall?

  • 3º down and 3º right.

see all

  • Not a bad job at all with the landing. That's some serious wind you're flying in.

  • Hi,

    Could you confirm that the CG is right on the manual assembly please ? Because my seller said the CG is around 60mm and on the manual is around 40mm....so it's not the same :-(

    Thanks

  • @QS27MDQ

    i see :D

    thanks!!

  • Thanks for sharing! How many A is the motor? I have this discus and have to choose motor--i will get a 45A motor with a 60A ESC. Do you think it will be strong enough?
