Brodak SV-11 ARF

(1/3) > >>

Don Jenkins:
My inventory of competitive planes was getting low due to some recent unfortunate events, so I decided to put together a Brodak ARF SV-11 to have something to fly. The quality of this kit was surprisingly good and it only took me about 3 weeks to complete.  I did make a few minor modifications, including a new ball link control system, DuBro hinges, an adjustable trim tab, an access hatch on the bottom of the fuse to make it easier to work with the electronics, glass cloth reinforcement at the wing joint and some epoxy around the landing gear plate.  I'm using an Igor Burger system with a Cobra 3515 and an APC 12 X 6 F2B pusher.  I am so pleased how this plane flies, I started putting together another one I recently obtained.  This plane is N-30 legal, so now I have a Saturday contest flier!

Dietmar Morbitzer:
Nice plane,
what battery do you use
and how much does the plane weight?
Dietmar

Don Jenkins:
I use a HobbyStar 3000mAh 5S (10.5 ounces), the plane weight with battery is 65.5 ounces.  I have about 25% of battery life remaining after a 6 minute flight.
