Hi guys,

just received my new Gold Wing RC Sbach 342 V3. here forhand the weights of the different parts:

Fuselage (incl. canopy): 1058g
Wing l/r: 398g/380g
Carbon Wing Tube: 54g
Rudder: 75g
Elevator: 160g
Wheel Pants: 84g (both)
Carbon Gear: 88g
Tire: 58g (both)
Spinner: 55g
small pats: 170g

TOTAL 2728g = 6.02lbs

my goal: Weight-Thrust Ratio of ~1.8...~2

...more information after my vacation

cheers eJets

Very cool. I am going to convert the same plane. Deciding between Redwing rc,Goldwing,Slipstream,etc. Next month or so.

If it helps, Im quite happy with my 30cc Redwing RC Sbach (73"). It has PLENTY of power, but I think I'll prop it up a bit more from the 20x10. Todays flight showed 50 amps and only 2200 watts with 6100 rpm. Flew great, but just seems like it needs a tad more "punch". Maybe the same prop on 12S instead of 10 would do it. Maybe Im just a power hungry fool!

There all the same btw.... All ok planes. Have the MX2 57 / 73 and just about to take delivery of the 89'30%... all electric !!

Laine... I can understand if you feel its a little underpowered... I run a 5525 - 225 Scorpion on 8s 5000 40c on my 26% MX2 GW and get 69 Amps on a 22x10 Xoar prop giving over 200 WPP. Has`very good punch out ( not crazy ) from hovering on the deck. Next E project will be more... MUCH more..

Yeah,I assumed they were all the pretty much the same plane.

Now I'm not sure if I want the MX-2,Sbach,or MSX-R or all of them.

Thats a cool plane but I could not find any pricing on the Linked site. Also is it possible to convert it to Electric?

Yes its perefect for electric. Go with a Scorpion 5525 motor / CC 1ce 100 amps ESC on 8s 5000 35c lipos and 22x12 Xoar prop...one more thing.... HANG ON !!!

What kind of flight time are you getting on that 8s 5000 setup ?

Also,does your 26% MX-2 have any bad habits?

I get about 8 Minutes of 3D and lots of WOT up lines and fly buys etc. About 6-7 on the 4000 set up and its prefers the lighter setup. No bad habbits at all. Hardly any wingrock in harriers and very solid hovering plane. I am using Power HD servos and feel they let the plane down a bit as its not a great IMAC plane for the size.

Thanks

BingWing, did you have to add any weight to the nose of yours to balance it with your setup?

Thanks for the info. i was also curious about the power hd servos,I'll go Hitec I think.

No mine ballaned perfectly. I refuse to add dead weight. Think its just a matter of planning what to use prior to bolting it all together but sometime its just needed. Im going Hitec for my 30% as had fine results with Power HD but going back to what I trust more now that my planes just get bigger n bigger ( and more $ )

...I really hate extra weight for balancing. I'll do everything to avoid it.
As I am planing on a Dualsky XM6355DA-11 Motor this should not be an issue...
