56" Foam Board FPV airplane
Here is a look at my new foam board FPV airplane. It has a 56" wing span and a 9.5" chord. That adds up to 532 sq in of wing area. The total length is 44". The Hacker A30-10L V2 motor and I'm running it on a 3300mah 4S pack using an APC 10X5 prop. It is pulling 465 watts at 35 amps. The total airplane weight with flight pack and GoPro is 4 lbs. It should have plenty of power to pull itself around pretty well.
The building techniques are from Ed with Experimental Airlines. My design is a spin off of Ed's AXON. I decided to put the motor in a tractor configuration to help quiet the airplane down a bit. The main idea was to build an airplane that could carry my GoPro and have a descent duration with sufficient power. I was also looking to build an airplane that was fairly quiet and stable. Equipment: Motor - Hacker A30-10L APC 10X5 prop ESC - Jeti / Hacker Master Spin 44 ESC Battery - Hyperion 3300mah 4S Servos - (3) Emax 12g ES08MA Metal Gear Sub Micro Servo Castle Creations - 10A BEC 12 volt regulator with LC filter to power the video equipment Tiny 5V Regulator to power the 5V camera Camera - Fat Shark 922 NTSC 5V camera Video TX - 300mw 1280 with home made V antenna RC link - Thomas Scherrer LRS UHF with 8 channel receiver (custom dipole antenna)
