Title: One more stunt flyer joins the e-ranks.
Post by: keith varley on December 11, 2010, 11:53:55 PM

Here's the evidence of my labor for the last few weeks.An E-Sultan , built up of balsa ,covered with silkspan and dope, and loved to death. It includes the components recommended to me by the designer Norm Whittle---an Axi 2826/12 ;an Ice Light 50; a Will Hubin fm90 timer with remote start button ; and a Thunderpower 5s 2600 mah V2: Now all I have to do is learn what wiring details are needed , with plugs and switches , and how to program the timer and the E.S.C. Any help would be appreciated. I understand that Norm Whittle is writing a simple instruction manual on this topic , which should be a tremendous help to us who know nothing about e-stunt.  This plane weighs 62 ounces R.T.F.   Keith Varley
Now lets see if I can get pictures attached.

Would like to see picture of cowl in place from the bottom,  details of air outlet.  What size is the spinner ?
Does Norm sell plans ?

allan Perret reply:     Better to ask Norm if he sells plans.I understand that an article and plans will soon be published in Stunt News.The spinner is 1 3/4" dia.
Now to try to load the pictures you requested. Keith

Keith,

This is very cool.  Maybe you should build my next plane for me and just keep it in Canada.  That way I could come up and fly F2B. 
CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks very much Phil .Actually it's a bit safe and conservative .I wish I had the ability to come up with paint schemes like you do.At the last Regionals I did vote for your  plane , and at the next Regionals I'll probably be voting for ELROY.  Keith

No I didn't.It's just front mounted. I read all I could from many sources and decided to go with that.There is room for rear mount if I do change my mind.Keith
