Mikey's FPV v3 Scratch Build

The slot for the prop on the plans are towards the front of the top wing, but the one that Josh is building is towards the rear. Can I also move my motor around? Will this affect the CG line?

Hi guys,
Do you know, by any chance, the total weight of the plane. I just built one and is very heavy, in my opinion.
Please, keep on track, the shows, challenges and tips are the best part of my nights
Best regards

How on earth did you get those GWS props onto the collet of the park 450? Drill them out?

Hello, I'm a beginner in RC and I've started building this plane. I bought all the above material but wasn't sufficient.

First, jelofson is right, the props don't fit to this motor. So I've drilled them out.(Surely bad for the balance).

Need to buy connector XT60 connector (male) to put between battery and ESC then solder it.
It needs also a 3 wire connector between ESC and motor.

The motor mount link is found in the forum discussion.

Add also Servo extension cables.

Just the electronic equipment weight 360g (prop included).

Printing pages and assembling them first seems like a puzzle. You must print all in A4 and then put red lines together (with should be x inches).

Best regards.

Great work guys. What do you think of using a motor like the DT900 or DT1000? Its more torquey and it would probably pair well with this slow flyer.
Question - It looks like this GWS prop this just a standard slow fly. What about other high speed/pitch props?

It seems i am in the same boat as a few others. How far forward from the trailing edge is the propeller slot?

So the only problem I had with the plane was the wing tends to warp and bend on itself. I think it is because there is no support on the wing what so ever. I built and flew this plane at the start of last winter, I flew the several times before I took couples weeks of break over Christmas. After the break, the wings got so out of shape and it became un-flyable, so I had to ditch it. But other than that a great plane! As my second plane at the time, I think I learned a lot from it!

Can we get the plans? The site is no longer available.
