Have ordered a VOLANTEX Phoenix 1600s glider kit
Shaun Walsh replied to Neddy's topic in All Things Model Flying
The spec for the ARTF version shows a 2212 1400kv motor turning a 12x6 prop with a 2s battery. If you are going to use the propdrive motor with a 3 battery you will probably have to drill new mounting holes in the fuselage to mount the motor, the battery and motor combination will be heavier so you will have to move the battery back to get the cg right. Also you need a 7 inch prop which is pretty small for the size of model. I would prefer to use a lower kv motor and a larger prop, at least 10 inch possibly 12 inch. -
True. The only way to get a correct colour is to measure the colour of the original with one on these. https://www.xrite.com/categories/portable-spectrophotometers/ci6x-family

If you can get hold of a number of colour photos in digital format and download the photo editor program "GIMP" which is free, you can colour correct using say a black tyre or the white of the roundel as the reference. you can then read off the measured l*a*b* colour space numbers using the colour picker function. You could then contact your preferred paint supplier with this information and they could recommend their closest matching paint.

Not sure what the current rating of the original motor is. I replaced both the motor and ESC when I uprated my Riot.

I've a sinking feeling that his relationship is about to go down the plughole. She won't be overflowing with thanks.

I suppose breakfast time is a bit early for a good sprout and pickled onion vindaloo.

Wouldn't 90 degrees of downthrust make it a rotary mower?

Given that a replacement would cost just over £60 it's probably not going to be cost effective to get someone else to fix it. What is wrong with it?
-
Either way will work, over the top of the leading edge of the wing or over the top of the tailplane trailing edge.
-
As a last resort you could mix in a little bit of down elevator with the throttle. I've done this with one model and it's quite effective, just don't overdo it.

As the Ruckus is a low wing model, shouldn't you pack the leading edge to reduce the incidence?
