Okay cool thanks balsa or carbon. Im asking questions endlessly, and heres another! You are using a 7" prop? Would that 7" prop happen to be a 7x6 slow fly prop from GWS? If so, is it a good prop for this plane? Also, you said the control surfaces are 2" x 6"....is that 2" wide (deep) and 6" long?
oh and also, if i cant find the fiberglass (?) reinforced tape, will this work just fine? http://www.lowes.com/pd_213691-98-14...RL=&facetInfo= |

I may try one of these today out of DT foam. Been real windy here lately. Just one question... Where is the cg? Should I just use mac/6?
Thanks Nightstone |

Just finished the build in the pictures above . electricrc68 , I used a 7x6 prop and it worked fine with the Dynam combo . After some easy cruising around , the motor was cold and the ESC was cold .

Okay cool thanks! I will use the 7x6 then. Nice 3rd paper plane btw!!!! Looks GREAT!!!! Also, the control surfaces are extremely tight when i put them back into their slots...can i cut the slots out a bit? And....i should mount the ESC and receiver to the fuselage and not the wings just like you did on the third one yes? Finally, is there any special prop mount needed to get it onto the motor? Can't really tell from the picture, but it looks like you didn't need anything.
hehehe my 2000th question. Im full of em. |

One last question... Are you using a y cable for the elevators? I don't have one so may just go Elevons and rudder. That may get to be alot to handle though for a beginner.
My wing and fuse are built and the motor is in... Getting close. Nightstone |

I don't really understand your question about a special prop mount . Did you get your Dynam combo yet ? When you do you'll see how it all goes together . |

I would try about 35- 40% of the total length back from the tip of the nose . And be sure to trim in a little up elevator ( reflex ) .
