Re: Maidenfest 2013 Sucks to be me on Maidenfest day but yesterday I was able to maiden my Cap580 ( barely used by it's previous owner Roger), completely uneventful, beautiful flyer with only minor trim adjustments. Three nice flights but no blenders on the first. ZDZ120, ripping the 28-10 Mej -oops ( need video for other thread before I increase that to a 28-12 lol ) Powerbox setup with 8711's on 6.6v 30lbs Sod farm is sporting some extremely thick grass as they get ready to lift the sod, pants off on the plane too! |

Re: Maidenfest 2013 Pilots debrief: Polaris XL This is a quick debrief of how the maiden went! Model balanced according to plans on the step of fuse - Take off required full up on grass to comp for drag of the hull - Plane flew very smoothly and no trim was required flew hand off right away and really groved along at 1/2 throttle. At full throttle you could see the wings do a tiny bit of flutter in a dive. Its a flat plate wing a good thing to remember. Obviously has lots of power with this setup - I used the recommended control throws and I would say this bird would make a good trainer. On high rates this model would roll much faster much the way I want it to fly. Delta like this when stalled just hang nose high and leaf wobble till power is applied. Add a camera on nose for FPV or movies would be a great choice and or the foam would make for a good night flyer full of LED lights The model is stock! took about a week to build with Epoxy, Gurillia glue, Spray 77 glue requires a 28" extension of wire between motor and ESC and some extensions for servos Model: http://modelaero.com/Merchant5/merch...tegory_Code=AM Package #2: Larger Motor (2810-9 with Master Airscrew 3-blade prop) This package provides higher performance using a Suppo/Spinmax 2810-9 motor weighing 78g. It has a KV rating of 1350, which means that it turns more slowly than the 2212-6 on a three cell battery. The best propeller we have found is a Master Airscrew 8x6 three-blade; The motor will draw up to about 30A for short periods and 26-28A in sustained high power flying. Throttled back, it will cruise at about 14-16A. Recommended ESC is 40A (with optional heatsink) or more. While the motor will work well with a 3s 2200 mAh battery of 20C rating, given the heavier current draw a 25-30C battery will give a little more power, generate less heat and may have better life span. With this motor of over 300 watts, the Polaris XL accelerates rapidly on the water or ground and can go directly into a sustained vertical climb. It’s significantly faster than with the smaller motor. Typical all-up weight is 32-34 oz. Note that with this motor, the Polaris XL can easily carry a larger battery, such as 3s 2500 to 3000 mAh. Specifications: Span: 38.5" Length: 53" Wing area: 606 sq in Weight RTF: 28 to 34 oz Wing loading: 7oz/sq ft Motor: Spin Max 2810-9 Prop: 2810-9 motor-APC 8 x 6 2 blade or Master Airscrew 8 x 6 3 blade, Battery: 2100 to 3000 mAh 11.1V lipo I used a 1800 for Maiden Speed control: 40 amp with heat sinc Receiver: 4 channel Requires 3 servos, 17 oz/in minimum torque Flight controls: Elevator, ailerons, rudder, throttle |
