Pilot-RC Slick 74inch

Under the hood of the Slick 74inch. That is, the canopy and cowl. Covers the equipment and features of these areas of the plane. Of special note are the canopy latching, wing retaining sliders, COG indication, flight stabiliser, spark arresting switch layout and motor supporting rods...

como te quedó de nivelado el centro de gravedad? veo que el regulador de 120A tendrías que haberlo montado bajo los tornillos bancada del motor, ya nos contarás los 6 elementos de Lipo que le pones, el avión parece muy Ligero, ponle Giroscopos al automático o botón de Pánico, te sacará de muchos apuros. buen avión, ni demasiado Grande, ni tan pequeño.

Centre of gravity as marked, over the joiner tube, is good. Since the rudder servo is located mid fuselage length, I had to move some weight further back from the front of the plane. So I put the ESC near the batteries. I am correcting the plane RTF weight to a measured 5.96kg. The battery is 2 x 5S 5000mah 50C --> 10S. I never use the safe mode for the gyro - too controlling. As an experienced, aerobatic pilot I find the gyro in its simplest, "stabilisation" mode is enough for me. Yes, and you are correct, this size is perfect for flying at our field. Thank you for the comment.

Hi! Where did you get those motor support rods? How did you secure them to the motor box? Are they working well? Thanks for your answers.

3/16th or 4mm Threaded Steel Rod -------------------------------------------------------- This rod should be available from your local hardware store together with the plain nuts, nyloc nuts and washers. The result is a very strong motor mount due to multiple portal framing rigidity. Method: - Drill 4mm(+) holes accurately centred over the cross-hairs lasered into the motor box face. The hole centres should match those of the motor spider. - Dowse the holes in thin CA so as to harden up the area and resist the clamping pressure of the nuts. - Accurately calculate and cut four threaded rods long enough to position the motor with allowance for all fasteners and final adjustment. Make sure the cut ends are chamfer cut/sanded so as not to ruin the nyloc nuts as they are wound on. - The order of parts on one rod starting from inside the motor box is: Nyloc nut, washer, motor box wall, washer, plain nut (including blue thread lock), [outer end] plain nut (including blue thread lock), washer, spider arm, washer and nyloc nut. The final result is a very rigid motor support that makes for a quiet-running power system.
