I have built this plane three times so far and have to say that this is the best build for the time. An IPS dual and a 3s pack and this thing is like a missle. It will climb like its on fire and does what ever you want, come to find out it will go from lvel flight into a full outside loop into a inside loop. this plane is great...again this plan is the best easy build ,easy flying plane there is.

Heres tiled plans! Enjoy!

Plans changed/switched per TOG's request...same plane.

I just learnt how to tile and I do it every chance I get...

Good tell me how to tile.

Anyway the Bird Dog go's brushless. Just a little thing thats been eating up my nights for the past week of so. Its a 20mm diameter outrunner 20 turn about 3/8" thick total in a GWS 100-D gear box turning a GWS 9070 prop and it draws almost 1 amp at full throttle. I'm using the new Pheonix 10 brushless ESC. The gearbox and motor weigh in at 26 grams and it puts out the same thrust as a IPS A on a 9070. Best part, life of the motor should be in the 1,000's of hours.

No I just bend the wire so it sits even with the horn and then bend a L into the horn and run it long so it doesn't slip out. Do as I say not as I do type stuff.

Yeh I think I'm going to like that micro brushless setup but I don't think I have enough gear in it yet.

Just had to post the picture again.

Starfox9 · Dec 13, 2003, 10:02 AM

Looks good...im pretty sure i did it the right way im just gonna check with my friend to get the directions he told me...very easy. Do you leave the skin on the outside? I just got myself some 3M and i love it!

Couldnt find Probond at the LHS, who is it made by, so i bought Zap.

Vyceroy · Dec 13, 2003, 10:52 AM

probond is not something you will find at the LHS Starfox .. Lowes .. Home depot .. Wal-Mart
any of those have it ..

Cheesehead · Dec 13, 2003, 01:49 PM

Zap-0 odorless is good too.

Thatovalguy · Dec 13, 2003, 03:02 PM

All low temp hot glue except for glueing the 2 fuse sides together.

Just got back from flying and flew a hole hour with one 600ma 7.4v lipoly on my new brushless motor.
