    not keen on the kits, I'm after an ARTF. Thanks
  2. Chris Lee123
    I currently have an eflight 60 motor and a hacker a60 6xs motor along with escs and various servos. I would like an apropriate scale airframe, preferably warbird for one of these. I know hanger 9 used to make a spitfire which would have worked with the eflight 60. Can any one recommend an airframe or two which would be suitable for either of these motors?

    we all do it from time to time.

    I'll take some tonight and see If I can upload them for you. Although mine has been modified for larger packs. They go in the slot you need to cut out just under the motor then, mount the tray mount inside and bolt the slider to that. I can't use the tray as my packs are too large. The instructions for the EP kit are in the instructions for the acrowot.

Thick wing, uc and wide cowl. I've got a Top flite giant p47 with a zen 62. I've flown with several other TF giant P51s and they all leave me standing. The p51 has a thinner wing and streamline cowl, the p47 hasn't...hence its slower. Purely down to drag and design. Edited By ChrisB on 08/07/2016 20:21:30 As I said in my original post I just want to make the plane I have quicker with the parts I have. Well unfortunately as suggested a few times above you not really going to be able to....... That's only true if its already at its optimum. If the current prop have on it is the perfect size for the motor, esc, lipo and plane then changing it wouldn't have a positive affect I understand that, but I've never said that it is currently the perfect setup. I've also not said anything about wanting a lightning fast plane, I just wanted to make an improvement on the current setup and wondered out of the props listed which would make it faster than it currently is.

How many watts is your motor consuming now & at what current? Can you get more power from that motor? A bigger & or pitchier prop will generate more power but can the motor cope with the extra current.? A more powerful motor with a higher kv will help. How fast is the AW now? Most models tend to have a "top speed" above which they are reluctant to go without a lot more power to push them.... Watts 900 approx and 40amps ish. The motor is rated at 1350 watts and max amps for the motor is 57. No Idea has haven't tried the speed gun on it. Hi Chris, It sounds like you have capacity to spare. I am not an expert but you need a higher pitch prop. I would just experiment. I had a look on the net and there are very mixed reviews on that motor, especially on the HK website. I would start with a decent 14 X 8.5 e prop and go from there ( based on a you tube review). Good luck and keep us posted. Ps just ignore the doubters and have fun Edited By Rich2 on 09/07/2016 08:42:50 Edited By Rich2 on 09/07/2016 08:43:19 Thanks, I think I will try the props I have and see what happens.

    Posted by Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 08/07/2016 21:46:02: Can I ask why you want to make it faster? I ask because it might effect the options! BEB Why not. Other than because I would like a little more speed there is no reason. I just wondered given the setup and props that I have, what I could do to increase the speed.

    Posted by Percy Verance on 09/07/2016 07:40:50: Obviously, he's bought the wrong model......... So because I want to make the plane I have fly a little faster that means I have the wrong model????
  12. Chris Lee123
    I would like to make my Acro wot quicker, I currently have a 13 x 6.5 prop. Out of these which one would be my best bet to increase speed. 10x10,11x8, 12x8, 13x8, 13x10 or 14x6 . The motor is a Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 4250-500kv Brushless Outrunner and I have a 100amp YEP esc. I am using 6s 5000mah packs. I think they are 30 - 40 C
  13. Chris Lee123
    yeah, electric ARTF kits Cool, I will take a look at the manufactures listed. Thanks
  14. Chris Lee123
    As per the title, I was wondering which manufactures are good when it comes to balsa planes, not sure if it make a difference or not but I am only interested in electric ARTF kits.
  15. Chris Lee123
    I just purchased the FT Spitfire from Team Jo-lly RC and the FT Racer from Flitetest store. I'm interested to hear how your scratchbuild turns out as I think I will do the same in the future if I like these two of course. Which foam board did you use?

    With regards to the prices going up at the moment its made very little difference as far as I can see. I went to purchase some items yesterday for $50 ish from hk and they are still $50 ish dollars... I think yesterday it was 1.41 usd to the pound now it is 1.38.

    The wotawot does look nice. I flew a bi plane the other day was incredibly fast but hardly any control, i think the engine was a bit too powerfull for it. After 30+ years it died.

    I thought I shouldadd some picture of it in one piece!

    I do use the rudder quite a lot as it is, I guess that comes from flying helis. Hopefully I'll get out tonight and practice some more landings.

    Posted by ChrisB on 20/06/2016 19:20:20: Hi Chris, obviously its long gone now but did you strip everything off the old acrowot, horns, clevises pushrods etc? If you did then great, you've now got some spares etc should you ever need them in the future. If not then not but just something to think about. Its amazing how you collect odds and sods over time. If in doubt wings level! Cheers CB I stripped a few bits of but not as much as I should have tbh. I was a bit annoyed at the time and very close to the bonfire. Its the first crash I've had with either a Heli or a Plane which has annoyed me, usually I just laugh it off.
  24. Chris Lee123
    Does the Riff Raff handle grass landing OK or is the landing gear a bit to fragile?
  25. Chris Lee123
    Cool thanks for the advice, its very helpful. I'm quite lucky as I have a fairly long strip to land on so plenty of room to practice.
