Message:

[QUOTE=Calum;2167466]When I started this build, I did it with a friend who would be building the 81" mosquito at the same time as I am building the 71" mosquito. We have been collaborating on the  two builds at the same time. The drawings are well made but you do have to do a lot of thinking to interpret all the details for the build. 
I have not been as active in the build as I broke my arm last summer and it was difficult to do constructive work. However the work does progress and i will be able to update soon.
The 81" mosquito does have some differences. Notably the engine nacelles are much longer, this gives more room for engine and fuel tank installation. The wing mount is different and the fuselage nose area is different to accommodate the clear front glass.
The rudder is attached differently and the ailerons have three hinges. The fiberglass engine nacelles on the 81" mosquito are full shape unlike the 71" nacelles are half shape. Other then those points the construction is very much the same.
we have some pictures from the 81" build if you require some more information let me know.

i JGN
thank you for your interest.
I finally balanced my mosquito with 700 grams of lead with the carriages fully retracted.
I motorized it with two 4-cell ectron motors with 13x7 three-blade propeller, 4-cell 5000 50c Gens battery.
I haven't painted it but I used the oracover for the finish so as not to weigh it down too much and hopefully it flies well.
as soon as he finished he posed some photos with a video of the flight.
I thank you for your availability and I wish you great flights.

Re: 71" Brian Taylor Mosquito Build

I will have to remove the cowlings, but I believe my motors are Turnigy L5055B 600Kv units.
I originally conceived this model to have a nice scale power system, scale in terms of what you would expect a full size Mosquito to fly like. I am really pleased with the performance, but I am going to try two 6s 3300 mah batteries in place of two 4s 5000mah as electric motors always perform better using higher voltage to increase hp as opposed to using more current which increases heat. I think I swing two 14" x 7" x 3 blades on this model.

Lino, I am not sure what the all up weight of the Mossie is, but it would be in the same ballpark as yours. For this reason, I always keep "power on" all the way down to touch down. Mine is a very stable airplane which is fun to fly even in wind as it penetrates quite well.

I am considering going 6s at some point but as for now it is a great flyer!

hi
can you tell me how much your model weighs?
if it needs more weight it means that the model is flying upright now.
mine should weigh about 6kg.

I am running 800KV on 4S and 14x7 props. I have the same power combo in my TF DC-3,which flies great in that config. Unfortunately, I find the Mozzie just doesn't have the same pull as the DC-3, it flies rather sluggish by comparison. Also the Mozzie is about a pound heavier than the DC-3 with a few inches shorter on the wingspan but much more wing area.

I am thinking of going to 5S on the mozzie for that reason. I'm curious to know what your power specs are.

I also tried this but it was hard to get even coverage.

Thanks.

hi
sorry my english i am with google translator.
I wanted some important information from you:
I have finished the electric mosquito 71 and now I have to balance it, unfortunately I realize that it needs 650 grams of lead at the tip to level it is this normal? weighs too much about 6 kg.
how did you do it? flies well despite the weight?
thank you

I have scratch-built a 78" Mosquito and it flies really well.
My thread for it is here:

mine comes in at 13.5lbs/6.16kg, which I have mentioned on post #194
