Scratch Built Foamies - READ BEFORE POSTING

[Gabe]

In an attempt to better organize the plank forum, I've moved all the posts regarding foamie kit planes such as Parkzone models to the Parkflier section.

Let's keep this section just for scratch built foamies.

Thanks all!

Now go fly!

Don't forget the pics.

[akphill]

LOL guess I did forget something

[19000rpm]

That's better. Nice work.

So, phil, what motor, ESC and battery are you going to use?

[akphill]

Going to use the eflite motor 470 brushless and I have a 30 amp eflite esc
The battery will be a 3s 850 mah 15c out of the 250 heli
If it works I will get a bigger battery say a 1000 mah with 20 or 30 c rating
going to try a 11by 4.7 prop I think should of had a 10 by 6 prop but all the lhs had in stock
Just have to see

[19000rpm]

From what I seee in the picture I think you'll be able to go up to at least a 1300. Lots of wing area and plenty of motor and prop. Looks like a fun plane.

[akphill]

Cool
I think 1300 should be ok also
Have to see if I remember how to fly a plank haven't flown one in 15 years lol

[19000rpm]

It'll come back to you quickly. Like riding a bike...
