New spring wings...


Recommended Posts

Picked up two epp models from one of the local club lads.

Hobby king Hummer...this is my third and a RC Factory Crack wing.

Looking forward to some quiet sessions with the Hummer in the new year [emoji41] 63ebb8322a8514a708c4675836163750.jpg8f7edbaaa63534a0bc8fd6eab478ca12.jpg

Crikey! I almost blew 40 quid on a motor for the Crack wing.....I couldn't see many 2202 motors for sale at less than 35 quid so opted for the slightly heavier 2203...much more choice in this size and just over a tenner.
Got most of the parts together for both of them bar props and two sub 6g servos for the crack wing.....it's not really my thing but I'm going to build it up anyway.... it's the Hummer I'm really looking forward to flying again...such a good bit of kit [emoji41]

I've been scratching my head for a few days trying to find some 7x3.5 EP Pusher prop's for the wing....I was under the impression that a pusher set up had to have a pusher prop rather than a tractor prop in reverse?.
There's lots for larger power units but not a lot for lightweight electric pusher set ups.
After some research a reversed tractor prop will be fine it seems..so I've a slack handful of GWS high speed jobs ordered....
I wasn't really keen on building this smaller one up initially but I've got almost all the parts now and it wasn't a big investment.
The servos turned up along with a new radio combo so this is the easy option to get my thumbs back in tune with the limited time I have.
I really want to build up the hummer super square and balanced how I like but I don't even have a bench or table I could use to do that on right now.
I think a new bench is in order.
Oh that's my little finger next to the servo [emoji50] [emoji851]4fc977a8c7d65938581d246304c5a05a.jpgfe17a30f9c12795bc73b3eb025a6ffd3.jpg

This one is ready for its maiden and I knew the stock Scx24 lipo's I had lying round would find a use....350mah so somewhere in the middle for weight and size,

I may have underpowered it slightly with a 1400kv motor but it will still fly I'm sure 🤓

Spent some time setting the tx up,end points,sub trims,dual rates with expo and a throttle cut.

Originally I'd imagined the STD 6ch Rx  that came with the tx would fit the wing fine but after putting them side by side its a no go... got a tiny 4ch fs2a version that fits the job better...needs the pins soldering  on if your not wiring direct and I heat shrank mine in some clear red I had spare,

Took a couple of days assembly waiting for  the glue to go off properly while it's kept square and flat.

Itching  to fly it 😎
