Aerotetris T-38 Talon 2800mm build


Hi mates!

Just received my Aerotetris T-38 2800 ¨kit¨.
First impression after opening the box is: a 2800mm plane can´t fit in that little package.
But I changed my mind after being 1h just to write numbers in each piece and pull apart them... just for one of the 5 polystyrene sheets (pic below). There will be more work that I thought classifying all the parts!

I´ll try to update the thread with pictures and building progress.

Of course, tips or advices will be kindly appreciate!

Equipment

Following Aerotetris specs, the plane is designed for 2x120mm EDF.
I´ve been thinking about this. I´m ¨obsessed¨ with scale flying, and I don´t like those jets taking off, flying and landing on ridiculous speeds. So my main objective will be to be in a weight between 10 and 12 kgs (wish me luck).

To achieve this goal, i´m considering the following options:

-Just one 120mm EDF on a 8-10 kg thrust range, with 12S
Pros: cheaper, less weight using just 2x6S LIPO pack and one EDF.
Cons: I don´t know how this kit is designed, but a two engines into one engine conversion it may be a nightmare.

-Two 105mm EDF, with 8S each, with 5kg thrust each one.
Pros: more thrust, easier installation.
Cons: more weight.

What you guys think? Maybe I´m too naive targeting on 10-12 kgs total weight?

Regards,

Alex
