Holy Bat smoke! Has the world almost come to an end, or did I really just order a plane with a spinning mustache

Yep, I did http://www.tdmsoftware.com/majewski/...mig3plans.html we'll see what shows up in the box, and I'll probably be asking lots of "newbie" questions...

Hey Todd-

I'd be tempted to go with the 16/15/5 recommended for the plane.. The Mega's are awesome motors, worth the money and they can be had for a reasonable amount..

The 16/15/5 is an 1800kv motor. On something like a 6x4 prop you're looking at 150watts and about <20Amps..

I don't think the wing on the MiG is going to allow you to do "slow" real well.. Of course it will slow down fine and I'm sure it will fly well in slow flight, but it's not going to be a floater, is I guess what I'm trying to say..

*edit*

I'm not sure what prop I'd run on that, you'd want much more than a 6x4, I was just using those #'s.. Might want to contact.. umm.. let me see if I can find him.. The guy who designed it is a regular here on RCG..

Tram thanks for your thoughts!

I'm thinking I'm going to change the planform a bit to increase the wing's area. I've also been looking at a couple ways to reduce the build's weight. Maybe I can save 3-4oz and lower the overall wingloading. And with the lower weight of a 1320mah vs a 2200mah battery, I should be able to reduce the weight sufficiently to allow the plane to fly slower.

Todd:

When you mix up your epoxy, remember to throw away half of it before you start glueing.

Why is that?

I'll be interested to see what happens with it.
