Maiden of my Spectra V2

by cableline01 | July 7, 2013 | (4) Posted in Just Fun

This was a weekend build of my own Spectra V2. I wanted to see how it look from the Sky so i strapped a point and shoot camera to the top o the plane. After the first run i found out the camera was not recording. So after having to tape the tail back we went for a 2nd run. The wooden shalfs that were holding the tail flexed to much so it was hard to controll the pitch so it was a rocky ride. Hope all enjoy.

Nice plane, Its the best FPV design out there, maybe try to balance the prop.. its vibration that's causing the jelloing.. but its looking good.

Maybe tail is just a little oversize, you dont get much from making it big, maybe just cut it smaller before adding carbon or making it more complex than it needs to be..

Thanks for the advice. I was looking at others to and thought the same thing. I am going to rebuild the tail this weekend. I also bought a OrangeRX RX3S Stabilizer V2 cant wait for that to come in. Next flite i will add all the recomdations of the group. Thanks for the imput all.

Where do you have your cg? It looked to me it was a little tail heavy.

The Cg was about 3/4 from the front of the wing. But i found out that the wooden dowls that i was using were to thin and flexed to much so i keep having to give throddle and pitch up. I have bought new ones to fix the issue.
