Heavy D Swapable

by yachik | April 9, 2013 | (6) Posted in Projects

This is the second build of the Heavy D.  Which was based off the old foggey style.  With the wings stretch to 42 inches and the fuselage stretched to 30 inches.  This was built as a beginner plane to learn to fly on.  It ended up being a moderate characteristic in flight.  It is set up as a 3 channel with a hobbymate (Ebay special) 1450KV with a 8X6 SF prop.  Craigslist Dynam transmitter and receiver 2-9gram servos and flies on a 800 milliamp lipo.  This is 3 sheets of Dollar Tree foam board.  Top of wing and fuselage are covered in packing tape.  The owner and pilot is a 12 yo and has been flying for 3 mos.  In this video it shows him in nice loops and some flat style turns.  Will post more as weather permits.
