Matt Halton Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I designed this in 2004, built 3, 2nd was too heavy, this one is very light with a built up cap stripped rib wing, runs 3 servos, two for ailerons to provide flaperon mixing, powered by a 2200kv pusher outrunner and 2200 3s battery. Ready now to air test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Reynaud Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Even more impressed with the Lightning in the background. Has that one been finished and flown yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron evans Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 A super looking model Matt, one of those types that's looks to be doing a ton sat on the car roof. Good luck with the maiden, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timo Starkloff Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Great, you captured the lines of the Lightning and Bucaneer perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Halton Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Thanks everyone Awaiting weather now. Also toying with a very light (mostly wood of course!)4th build..But twin EDF's.Not large though.The Lightning is from a Green Air kit ( can't get them anymore ) Not my build but will be my finish Thanks for your positive comments.The Bucc should go well with a weight of 700 g and motor thrust of 920 g..I wish someone would produce kits.
