Thanks, dick. I'll give them a try. I ordered an 11-7 vess last night too. I still don't know what prop size or pitch to run but do far out of the Es the 12-6 has been best but for a motor that big Im not sure if a 12 is enough. But I liked the power and the flight time and my esc never got hot but I'm over speeding it do I've got to try a 12-6 wood and see if I get the same results.

Hi and thanks for the advice. I do like Giant Cod but had almost decided on this Motor
https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/s...dproduct=18225 And being fairly new to electric not sure if GC had an equivalent. I don't want high power as I'm hoping to build light and run on 2cell LiPos. I have plenty of time so would rather get it right than rush it. Mike That looks like a good motor, may buy one for spares. |

The 3026-890Kv motor has a broader range of acceptable props and speed vs. vertical climb capability over the 3020-1110Kv. My software rated the 3026-710Kv size last of the three. At any rate, motor calc rated the 3026-890Kv as #1. Any one of the ones would be a beast in the Fun Cub, very fast horizontal and straight up as well. Dick |

Maiden flight
Maiden flight today. Temp 70 degrees Wind gusts 5 to 10 mph. Takeoff was very smooth and straight at about 1/3 power, required no trim adjustments. Flaps are set at about 80% and when deployed the FC looped so I think I will reduce the flap deflection and add in some down elev. Mix. The landing on pavement with no flaps was very slow and very easy to control. The flight was short about 5 minutes, want to change setting and go back when the wind is less.

I used Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Spray, Metallic Yellow (Gloss Protective Enamel) which worked out pretty good on the foam. You can find this at your Walmart Store.

49er Fun Cub
I thought my FC was a little plain and common so I fixed her up a little with a little SF NFL treatment.

Scorpion 3026-890Kv motor Turnigy dlux 55A esc with SBEC APC 13x6, 12x6, or 11x5.5 Eprop 2200 Mah 35C or 2650 Mah 25C One thing to consider on the Scorpio motor is that it is heavy, about 205g. Others on this forum use motors in the 100-150g range. CG will need some help. Also Amp draw is high (40 amps) compared to the HiMax 3516-1130 (I use) at 28 amps, so flight time will suffer. Dick |
