That is, one servo for each elevator and also a rudder servo. Other than that, the build was stock-standard, although I mounted my tail servos right down the back end - see below.Īchieving correct CG with a big battery up frontįor those having trouble with mounting the battery in the nose and the resultant forward CG, I fitted servos in the tail - one per surface. I switched out the front nylon wing pegs for carbon fiber, not because of any concerns about strength, but because my pegs were a bit short. I was absolutely amazed to find the wing bolts all pre-fitted and lined up perfectly! I didn't need to measure, drill or fit the blind nuts - nice! The wing fitted so well I simply bolted it into place. Cost me $160 to ship it to Australia, so you can imagine how much I wanted this plane (still cheaper than a Rascal 72EG).

(Posted on ) Great Airframe Review by Tom Valueįollowing on from my earlier rant that I couldn't get Value Hobby to ship me this plane, I arranged for a US shipping agent and managed to acquire the Aviator Pro 60. Finally, it's big enough to fit in at the local flying field among all the old timers with their nitro planes. It's efficient, and will fly for almost 20 minutes on a 4000 pack. It goes exactly where you point it, and doesn't do anything odd or unexpected. It's great for mild aerobatics or just cruising around the pattern. It's not a deal breaker, just an annoyance. It's pretty small given the size of the plane, and can be a challenge to get your hands in to secure the battery packs. The only other knock I have is with the battery hatch. Get rid of the stock wheels and wheel pants and put on some 3.5" foam wheels. The wheels seem really small for grass and look a little funny for the sale of the craft. It just flies exactly where you point it. With no (or very little) dihedral, it doesn't self-right at all either. It doesn't just recover instantly like a foamy will. For anyone familiar with heavier nitro birds, this won't be a shocker, but if you're used to small foam airplanes this will be new. It stalls predictably, but keep in mind this is a large plane and will lose 20 feet or so before recovering. A larger prop would help, but it will still take some practice to bring it down where you want it. It's a slippery airframe, and takes a loooong time to slow down for landing. Vertical isn't unlimited, but it climbs with authority and does mild aerobatics without issue.Īlthough this is a high wing, I wouldn't call it a trainer. Even with an undersized 12圆 prop, performance is pretty good.
#Fms esc 70a sbec throttle control series
I'm using a Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 4250 -500 KV motor as another user did, along with a 100A rotorstar ESC (overkill), and a pair of 3s 4000mah packs in series for 6s total. The corners of the red stripes under the wing and tail were also coming off, but those were reattached with an iron. There were only minor wrinkles in the covering when I unboxed it, which were easily removed with a heat gun. The build went well, and the prefabricated parts were done better than I could do them myself.

I wasn't expecting much for a sub $100 airframe, but I have been consistently impressed throughout construction, and now after several flights.
