Nice !! is this the 5 servo version?

@Trooper101st

No, just the 4. Landing gear just slows you down......

hi just bought one airframe only and upgradeing with Cyclone Power 'Red Velocity' 4300Kv (750W) 64mm edf but cant find cg position on instruction can you help

[MrSketchyP]

I have done exactly this conversion myself. Make sure you use a 30C to 40C or better still 35C to 45C pack of at least 2250mAh capacity. The pack you use makes or breaks this conversion. DO NOT bother with a 3s pack as it does not do the conversion justice. Try to get a good quality / light 4s pack.

I am using a 35C to 45C 2250mAh 4s pack and I get 3 mins of mixed flying. However this is an absolutely nuts 3 mins. Choose your pack carefully and it will fit straight in the standard place with no mods. Remember you must fit an uprated OPTO ESC of at least 60A and a separate BEC (cos the standard ESC is pants and does not support 4s). You will not believe the performance change. Unlimited vert if you keep the weight down. I'm registering ~800W and ~1200g of static thrust.

[MrSketchyP]

As for the CofG position it is at the standard setting of 225.0mm forward form the TE of the wing at the fuselage / wing intersection.

One more thing is, if you have the ability with the receiver you are using, take out the Y-leads while you are at it and hook up each servo to a separate channel, you can then utilise flapperons (advised with the increase in weight and therefore higher landing speeds) and also mix the elevator / aileron channels for some crazy flying.

Good luck.

Thanks for quick reply ,I am changing the y leads as the ones fitted stopped working when i was setting up the elevator

[MrSketchyP]

You said it ;)

Quality maiden flight. Camera work's a bit sketchy, as usual.
