78'' Extra

I put two more flights on my EF with the VVRC 40cc. The motor's idle is spot on now and it's pulling better. I just ordered a 20X8 carbon prop for it. See how that will work next week.
 
I tried a 20x8 and it was not enough prop. See if you can get a 21x8 instead. This motor in not supposed to go over 7k rpm. I am at 7100 with the Mej 21x8. I want to try a 21x10 when I get a chance.

The 20X8 brought the motor to life. WOW, it now has great veritcle climb and I'm 4K ASL. I can't imagine what it would be like at sea level.

I made me a carbon fiber landingear, it came out pretty nice i think, 100 gr, and stiffer than the aluminum one:D, we´ll see how it holds up.

Of course i vill share, its not that hard.

I started with making a plywood template, shaped as the landingear.
Used that to cut a foam block, than you have to cut it so it vill be 30mm at the top (where i mounts to the fuselage) and like 15mm at bottom.
