If the Bushwacker does not survive the flight attempts, I recommend building a simple disposable/sacrificial plane that is easily repaired or replaced. And if it protects the motor/prop when crashed, that's an added bonus. There are several I have experience with, I'll be happy to show you...
As a general statement to produce the same power a high kv motor will spin a smaller prop faster while pulling a higher current(higher current=lower battery life) compared to a low kv motor that will spin a larger prop much slower and with a much lower current draw but at a higher volt...
an underhanded compliment if there ever was one. But it’s a claim not strictly limited to the final spacecraft. With a project as far ahead of the technological curve as the Shuttle was in the 1970s, nearly every component and system of the legendary spaceplane required extensive research ...
After a while of changing the trims, CG, and motor angle, you will get your plane flying great! Thanks a lot for reading this, and hopefully I made enough sense for you to understand some of this! If you have any questions, please ask. To see more of my planes, check out my you...
Inside the plane you'll find a true micro 4 channel FM receiver, two micro 9 gram servos, and a 7 amp electronic motor controller. This is a system so good you'll be able to fly many other electric park flyers with like the Mini Blue Maxx and Tubby Cubby park flyers. Don't ...
L is the lift force, which in level flight equals the weight of the plane. CLis the coefficient of lift for the wing, V is the airspeed, and A is the wing area. When we move to a higher elevation, the air density decreases as we saw earlier. Since the weight of the plane, the ...
We can now add these known figures into Thrust Calculator. By the fact that you can verify thrust it becomes possible, to estimate the general power of the airplane in advance. This will give you more knowledge about your plane and the power characteristics to make your first flight less ...
However, remember that it's the battery that powers the plane. The motor is just part of the transmission, it has to be capable of handling the power from the battery, and 'geared' to turn at the right speed, but it isn't where the power comes from. Return...

(WCL explanation and calculator: https://www.rccad2vr.com/aeronautics/wing-cube-loading) I drew a plan view of the wing in CAD to get an exact measurement. The AUW is with a 6S 6000 mAh LiPo (and a few telemetry sensors ). Page...
