well , ive always loved how this plane looked , maybe its also cause of HAWKS that made me wanna have one of these planes ... Anyway , looked around the hobbyshops , and they didnt really appeal to me ... so , if you want something nice , get it done yourself!
as this is my first build , im going to take my time ...
and i did take some info out of viper's dreamliner build thread! really helped alot! with the detailed pictures etc.
setup:
-64mm cyclone metal EDF fan on 4s from Skyhobbies 1.5kg static...
-4s 30C 2650 turnigy batt.
-85amp turnigy esc ( you'll understand why later ). + a BEC from the batt to the switch as the damned switch needs a seperate power source...
-Nav lights, gonna follow viper's method on this one.
-Landing light seperate from the Nav lights so that i can turn it on and off
-landing gear ( gonna have to take the F16 one , or that one from aerosmith , havent bought this yet ... any ideas? ).
-HS65 servos , 2 for elevons , 1 for canards and maybe 1 for rudder...
-AR7000 , probably gonna have to use a Y harness for the switch and nav lights.
yes , i did calculations for my own ducting my objective in ducting was making the airflow laminar rather than turbulent ... more than all the extra calculations of area etcetc ... so the inlet is like 100% of 64mm's area ( including lip ) and the outlet is around 85-90% of the area.
the important stuff from HK's HC isnt here yet , last check shipped to singapore already via EMS.
