Scratchbuilt EPP P51 w bungee mounted motor
Finally got my P51 flying again - it was just getting so heavy I had to move up to a 2217 950kv motor w 9" prop. Now lots of power and still get 7+ minute flights on 1800mAh battery. The motor mount is held on with hair bungees so when I have a hard landing the motor just gets pushed out of the way - less damage - as I hit stuff frequently, trees, goal posts and nets and the ground occasionally. The wing is also held on with chopstick/acrylic/bungee and is pretty damage proof. I use a chopstick through the fuselage, acrylic standoffs and hair bungees. Not pretty, but effective.
The plane is getting ridiculously heavy for a foam plane, AUW 750 grams, but it flies nicely and looks great in the air. I am just going to have to sling it faster for takeoff.
