Thanks for the build and flight video. I saw this plane on motion rc and was going to get it but they sold out fast. I'll try when they get more in.

Hi Rodney, nice build and she flies beautiful. I have the blue one waiting to get started, so really glad to see your results. I have two observations: your motor could use more rpm. I think this low kv performs better on 8s and almost 2000 extra rpm would make a big difference in climbs. Or, change the motor to a 6s with higher kv, 400-450. Also, if you make that wooden motormount. Try to keep it low, and cut the top of the firewall so you can slide the batteries all up front, over the box or maybe even above the motor. The motorbox (side to side), can be used to strengthen the side walls of the fuselage. Moving the batteries forward that much would cut ballast weight too. Hope to see a follow up video! Good luck!

Saw the thumbnail for a second thought, and thought it was a real plane flying without a pilot

Thank You! I tried to get this one but they had sold out. Been looking for either a build or maiden video on this plane and I find both in one stop. I appreciate your wrap up at the end, I was wondering what battery and prop you ended up with. It didn't seem like the 6s was giving you much, especially if you were at full throttle most of the flight. And 12s would be overkill. Just looking at it, 8s might be the best option even if I have to add weight. Anyway, I enjoyed your video and will subscribe so I can watch the Stearman build.

@Noncenx the plane flew scale on 6s it had enough power to climb out ok. Straight and level it cruised at just over half throttle. Speed controller and motor were only slightly warm 4 minute flight used about 10 percent of the battery

Very nice. What wood have they used for the fuselage sides and formers - looks like thin ply?

[@RodneyFlysRc]

@RCGDL yes thin plywood

Nice but electric
