Boeing P-26 Peashooter

LNL · Mar 13, 2004, 04:09 PM

After four years, finally opened the kit and completed this
plane. It is an ARF glow kit which converted rather well to
electric. Wingspan is 71 inches, Wing area is 736 sq.in.,
weight with batteries is 120 ounces. The Peashooter was
converted with the following:
Astro 40 with 1.63G
Astro 204D Speed Control
APC-E 14 X 10 and 13 X 10 props
20 cell Sanyo FAUP 1950 Nimh Pack
Hitec MG225 Servos
This should roughly produce 93 watts per lb., 34.9 amps, 83 oz.
of thrust, 8 minutes of flying time, according to ECALC 2.
Looking forward to Spring so this plane can fly.

Here is another view -- plane's fuselage is very wide, easily
accomodates large battery packs.

You scared me; thought someone had beaten me to doing the Sterling FF conversion

That's a lovely machine...I for one would love to see some flying pics or video if you're inclined.

Here's Jeff Myers Peashooter at the Melbourne, Florida electric event held last December. This should wet your appetite.

Kelvin, those are nice photos of the Peashooter in flight. What
type of power system in the plane? Battery system?

how about some info on the plane (man., dist., ect) I've got a AF40 lay'n round that should be in something, preferbly ARF. For awhile I've been contemplating a P-26 also, popular choice of late it seems. Keep us informed how it goes.
