Here is my winter project.
I started with an eFlite Apprentice and made some modifications on it.
1) Landing Gear
I changed the tricycle landing gear to a tail dragger one. I fly on a grassy field and do not wish to mow it during take offs and landings.
2) Larger Motor and ESC
To paraphrase Cpt. Kirk.."Sotty, I need more speed!"
3) Flaps
STOL rules.... that's all I have to say about that. :)
4) Woody Tail
I busted up the tail too often and became too soft. Going for wood this time.
4) Colour
Yup, new paint job. Need to look cool when going down. I specialize in single point landings. ;)
Maiden flight is tonight. Let you know how it goes. I'll try to get someone to video the flight.
Zippy.
