Matt Halton Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 My new Buccaneer for pusher motors, scroll pics from the bottom to top to see the build process, still finishing her up now, just created the boundary control dummy air ejectors from an old microwave meal plastic carton, cut into small triangles and let into pre cut slits in the wing, 20 per side, took ages lol, other wing tomorrow. Weathering up and adding panel lines too. Model weighs just 16.5 oz currently, that's with the motor, ESC, and 3 servos, will use a 2200 3s for motivation, getting there! Hope you like, build started in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Halton Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks guys. Glad you like, am still working on the other wing. Just finished the second 20 boundary layer flow ejectors and now onto more panelling and subtle weathering. Never ends does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Halton Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thanks Ade.Well more news. Set up the radio now have working flaperons, plus did motor testing. Full power onto scales shows 900 grams on a 3s 2200. The model weighs 700 grams with the battery on board.That's on a 6x4 prop but with that power have some leeway.Another modeller suggests trying a 5 x 5.5 prop which will give more speed at less throttle plus less torque.So will likely change it before testing.It's a small machine at 25" span.Edited By Matt Halton on 09/12/2017 12:43:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Halton Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Spinner stayed put too which was good news Here's a video showing the power and control testing.

Matt Halton Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi guys. I built this small pusher jet over the winter and finally got a test flight. I've got some video and photos. Intend to now build another but bigger with 2 x 40 or 50 mm EDF units. This model has just 3 servos including flaperons. I hope you like!!
