Arctic Fox Profile
« on: December 29, 2013, 11:32:04 AM »
I finished my new electrict profile. I test flew it on Friday and it flew pretty good but needs trimming. It is powered by an eflight 10 motor and a11.1 volt 3300MAH lipoly with RSM esc and KR timmer. timmer set for 5and 1/2 minuts and lap times are 5.3 seconds with a 10X 7 electric prop. The picture has the landing gear a screwgee because i Have not put the two screws in to nail down the gear . It still needs paint and had to add 1 ounce of weight to the nose. Will fly it at our fun fly on thursday.

If you don't mind me suggesting a few things. Why don't you sand down the back some more to take some weight off the back. try to get it off the rudder and elevators. That should help some. Then move your speed control and timer as far forward as possible. I see you have room so use it. With electrics I always try to shift the weight around as much as possible. I try at all costs to avoid adding anything. Save some more weight by not painting the fuse. Sand it smooth and put a coat of clear on it and then maybe a few stripes or designs using monokote trim sheets. Maybe this will allow you to take that ounce out. another option would be to move the motor forward a little.

I would move the battery as far forward as possible.  Using a bigger battery will also add weight.
