New ride almost done
« on: January 05, 2021, 05:27:35 PM »
Based on a Legacy 40, E-flite Power 15 Fiorotti active timer, I still have a few details and clear coat to go but it's coming along.

Looks sharp.  I have seen your posts on FB as well.  I am currently building a Legacy as well and I was wondering what your AUW might be and what size pack you intend to use.  In my case I will be going with a Power 25 and TP 4S 2800 mah pack.

Thanks,

Teo

Thank you. I assume auw means weight? Right now with a zippy compact 2700 4s and no clear it weighs 43 oz.  I'm hoping for a finished weight of around 45 oz.

AUW = all up weight....Guess it is more of an R/C term.  That is a great weight; I am thinking that mine will come in around 48 oz or so.  The lighter the better.  I have made quite a few changes to keep it light but I do not think that mine will be as light as your.

Nice job.

Are the 2 white scoops functional at the nose? It looks real sharp. Great weight!

Thank you Donald, yes the scoops are functional and in pic 2 you can see the exit scoop  on the side of the battery hatch.
