fiber glass stinger 64

it's heavy but i did change servos for bigger and metal ones and i done 2 layers of fiber glass and paint and litle bibs and bobs that's my first project on jets trying to experiment and its hard as a rock so hopefully will last long and will fly fast but to be honest first weight shock even me i will know for the future not do the same mistakes many thanks for your help and advice

Originally posted by klaw81 Ok, for a start an almost 1kg jet that's restricted to a 64mm fan is going to need some decent hardware to make it go fast. But I guess you already know that. I'm assuming this is the EDF you've already bought: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4498 The best motor I can see for the job is this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11161__HK2836_EDF_Outrunner_3800kv_for_64mm.html You're going to need a decent ESC to keep up with the motor. This is a decent one at a very good price: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18005__HobbyKing_Red_Brick_50A_ESC.html Finally, you're going to need a battery that can supply the juice you need to keep all of this in the air. I would recommend the nanotech batteries for peace of mind and high discharge rates. I'd probably go for this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11916__Turnigy_nano_tech_2650mah_4S_25_50C_Lipo_Pack.html The above setup should 1:1 thrust or better, which should make your Stinger whistle along quite nicely. Make sure you have good ventilation to the ESC and battery - keeping temps down in the Stinger compartment can be a challenge sometimes.

thanks a lot i will try it

Kool plese keep us updated

Wing loading on the glassed Stinger will be high, keep the nose down, keep airspeed up when you're flying and just be careful when you're coming in for a landing andstay out of its path when its landing, it will come in hot. Final approach, feel it all the way down, keep the wings completely level, flare and let the rear wheels (or rear fuse) touch down first but whatever you do, don't let her slip to the right or left.
Sounds almost dirty but just like the "Discovery Channel Mambo", any landing you walk away from in one piece equals another visceral flight (or mambo).

hope that my stuff comes finally 2morrow and then i will give some updates desperate 4 speed flying bud i allready got plane called ghost its really fast but never got gutd for it it's to fast for me nee to start with this updated stinger let u know shortly
