3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

[Luchnia]

No flyer was just told about it by one Tony one of my buddies in that club. Its the Soggy Bottom RC club. Field is on One Mile Rd in Clarksville VA

What time does the event start and end?

Starts at 9 and runs sat and Sunday I believe.

Made up some prototype landing gear. Glued on a tail wheel mount. Got wings mounted and checked incidence (0 deg). Mocked up with surfaces, servos, and engine w exhaust to check CG. Will be moving the tail servos forward one bay to get CG close. Weight sans ignition, receiver, battery, fuel tank, control linkages and covering and misc. hardware is 7.4 pounds. A bit disappointed with that.... oh well. Getting closer.

Great to see some progress - looks good! I have been having a blast flying mine. I have about fifteen flights or so on the RCGF 26cc and truly enjoying the setup.

Anybody ever consider or heard of someone airfoiling the tail feathers? I had some good memories with my 40 sized version until I sold it cheap to a buddy. I'm really digging this build, maybe this winter......

Thanks guys. I have not heard of anyone airfoiling the tail surfaces. But that probably doesn't mean much. @BalsaDust would probably know more.

Your getting closer.

 

[Alky6]

Your getting closer.

Thanks! And so are you-- Looking forward to that maiden on your 50cc!

I had read in a couple of places where guys had airfoiled these mojos some. I know the guy that built mine airfoiled his, but I don't know if he has flown his yet. He doesn't do 3d so not even sure why he built the plane anyway. I have no clue what he plans to do with it because he is more into warbirds.

maybe he should give it to you?!?!?
