Son is already helping with his first plane. He is already wanting to go fly it.
One of these is going to be a trainer for him, then once he gets good enough it will become his. |

I nosed my Scythe in really hard last month. No damage at all to the wing. I did break my 3d printed camera mount, but that was the only damage. I have my rates really high, and I came out of a roll upside down. I tried to correct but ended up doing a full roll instead of a half, then no more time to correct.
Here's the video:

Ok guys I need some help.
My build plan is to use .... Emax 2204 2300kv motor 12 amp esc 3s 850mah battery Props are what I'm having issues with. I have a ton of 4" props I am planning on using, same size as my quadcopter. Am wanting to use spare parts if at all possible. With this set up am I looking at smoking the esc? Or am I good to go? I do know that the esc has blheli on it so I can tweak things there as well. Thanks in advance guys |

^ I have the same set-up as you are planning. I'm using a 5x4.5 DAL bullnose prop. My esc is a 12a but not bl heli. It all works fine and goes like stink!! Use 9g metal gear servos. Plastic ones will strip.

Awesome.
Yeah planning on metal gear digital servos Ok now I need to find somewhere to purchase a motor mount. This motor didn't come with the metal "x" for the mounting. How would you guys suggest mounting the motor to the formica plate? Need to figure the placement for the receiver, and motor mount. Them should be able to fly! Really considering soldering the servos to the board |

Yeah I have been looking for a few days now. I can find canted mounts, but nothing flat. I was able to find a carbon mount and that will be here Friday. I am finishing up the checkering tonight and then finalize a few small things and then just wait for the mount.

Here's the thingiverse link I found using a quick search for "Scythe motor mount" on that site, in case anyone else needs/wants it:

How has everyone’s luck been with 3D printed mounts? I used an abs firewall one time and melted the thing.. are you guys having any heat issues?
|

I have a guy I work with that has a printer and is going to print one of these off for me. I will run some flights and get things nice and warm.
My initial thought would be to use a little tin foil to reflect the heat away |

I printed that same mount in ABS, and it snapped during the test fit... lol... haven't tried printing it with PLA yet. Was my first ABS print with my new printer though, so maybe I mucked something up...
