Wings Maker J-11B

[Goose10]

I am seriously looking at this after the deep joy of kitting out my Sea Vixen and Vampires with upgraded electrics and ducted fans; could I be hooked??

Regardless, am thinking of sticking in two Turnigy Plush 80A ESCs (with UBEC) with two Change Sun 12 blade 70mm fans and two Cyclone Power CS480-2800-32EDF motors.

Two questions:

1. Anybody experience of this bird as it looks large.

2. With the ESCs in mind, is it simply a case of using a Y-harness to connect the ESCs in parallel; I understand also that one of the UBECs will have to be disabled by cutting one of the red wires?

Regards,

Phil Nic

There have been reviews of the Wings Maker models in the mags over recent times. The general consensus seems to have been that they fly very well, although I do not have one myself. With regards to the ESC's your way is the way I would do it.

Thanks Tony.

Took the plunge and parts on order; it is a well made kit and I do like the way that the wings etc fit extremely well into their respective fuselage slots. The wings especially have double notches which key in very securely although I may CF stiffen just for sanity sake.

I am also painting the beast with Styro paint, camo green top and light grey underside , just to be different an also aid with orientation when flying.

Not sure on undercarriage as I bellyland/handlaunch so may fit servos for these regardless in case I want to upgrade.

Will report back when assembled with comments on flight behaviour.
