  1. This was my solution a 50x50mm fan from Maplins set over the ESC The yellow line is the control rod to the rudder.
  2. I had the same problem with ESC cooling so I installed a 50mm PC fan from Maplins on top of the ESC just to keep the air moving around. The nice thing with these fans, they are rated at 12v perfect for a 3s set up.
  3. She looks so cool and floats ..... looks like power is more than adequate...... nice
  4. Try and set the ESC half way between the motor and the battery otherwise you might get timing problems, and don't forget some cooling holes to keep the battery and ESC cool. On my Mk 1 I ended up with 100g of lead in the nose, Mk2 only needed 30g as I did as you have and moved the EDF unit as far forward as possible and stuck the battiers (2No 4s 5000mAh) in the nose.
  5. Yep added about 100mm on the wind span and increased the cord by 10%. don't think it needed it
  6. Excelent project and love the light weight design, I too have trawled the internet for a kit or drawings for the V1 but could not find anything so built two from scratch. See you tube links I say two as the first was true to form and crashed in spetacular fashion just like the real thing. The second is still flying.
