| Here are all the components : |
 |
| Graupner C261 9 gram servo Decased Graupner R600 6 channel receiver
Schulze Slim 18be with custom aluminium cooling plate (outdated
and replaced with better controllers) Speed 400 4.8 V Race motor
with all the water cooling things and flux rings 7 x 700 AR cells,
unmatched unzapped |
| Before building I tested where the CG would be with components
just sitting in. I easily came on 112 mm measured from the back
of the boat bottom as plans suggested with some cells/motor movement
however not considering the hardware weight. |
 |
Floodchamber
The boat comes with factory installed floodchamber plate. However
I found some holes at the step and edges. So I mixed LF2 epoxy (as
described on my Kiwi Pico buildup) and some cotton flakes and sealed
the holes. |
 |
| Next was cutting out the back opening for the floodchamer. Nothing
beats DremelÄ |
 |
| By the plans one 2 mm hole on the top on the front of the chamber
is enough. |
 |
| Nope, it is not enough as I found on the first runs. One 3mm hole
on the bottom is needed about 3.5 cm from the wing leading edge
in order to get the trapped air out À thanks Lars! |
