Flyboy3 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Hi all Just about completing this model, but I have no idea about control throws. If anyone has built and flown this model any info would be well received. Thank you, Flyboy3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I cant find my original EE article. However I did do a mark 2 in "Sailplane and Electric" in the USA an I suggested 3/8" each way. I see that on my Kite Hawk which is a similar size I suggested 1/4" each way on Rudder and Elevators The Easter Eagle is very maneuverable and can be stood on a wing tip and hauled round in tight circles. I see that on my Kitehawk which is a very similar model I quoted 1/4" each way. I assume you do just mean the original Easter Eagle. The Easter Eagle senior is much bigger of course and I can quote fot that if that is in fact the model that you are building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy3 Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thanks Peter, yes I did mean the original EE. I have also aquired the following motor hoping it will be suitable.Turnigy. D2830/11 1000kv. As a dyed in wool ic man, I do not know enough about electrics yet lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyboy3 Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thank you very much EB for the info. My motor. Is a bit overpowered for the EE, but it should be ok to get it up to gliding hight. Do you think the extra weight will affect the glide ? Cheers.

Peter Miller Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I used a Speed 600 and 6 cell Nicads so your set up MUST be lighter. The extra power will take it up like a rocket. Too much power is better than too little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy3 Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thanks again Peter. Can you suggest a prop size to cool it down a bit. ? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have to admit that I am pretty clueless when it comes to motors and props. I simply phone George at 4-Max and say "HEEEEELLLLP" Sorry I can't be of much more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
