New Fuselage for Lighting Wing


Haven't flown much lately so:

After so many modifications to my Lighting wing, it was getting way too heavy for the little 1908 motor that came with it. So I scrapped together a fuselage, shorter, wider and deeper, to put my 30 amp ESC inside. Mounted 2212 2200kv motor with 6 inch prop.

Used a plastic spoon to scoop air into the vent for the ESC.

Unfortunately, the motor mount angle is way too high and it just climbs with acceleration so will remount the motor mount at a reasonable angle. The flight was short so I finished out my batteries flying my trusty wing.

I laminated the outside half of the wings so with the 3s 800 lipo, laminate, 30 amp ESC, it is around 380 grams, about twice the original specs. But the original has floppy wings and can't do a decent roll so this version should really rock and roll.
