Multiplex AcroMaster - Building tips

Hi madflurry,
does the CA hardens very fast?
For the front reinforcement, I guess I'll have to skip it cos I've no experience with glassing and neither do I have the tools, but will take note of the nose weak point. Guess I've have to be careful how I crash the plane

Glassing the nose and motor mount area is not for you to withstand crashing lah. It is to prevent the torque generated from the motor to rib off the nose in mid-air especially when you are driving 14" props and doing 3D moves.

Thanks CoolMX for the knowledge, fully agree. I haven't done any glass because too lazy, and my place is kinda cramp. Wally asked me over to his place to do the glass, but I just couldnt find the time and wasnt feeling well over the weekend also.

Just checked my amp draw on GWS Eprop 12x6, this prop was tested out by leon and it doesnt flex or vibrate that much. THe draw was a mere 27amp at full trottle with 6amp ½ trottle, very satisfying results. Will try APC 12x6 prop tmr, hopefully not able 35amp at full trottle.

Think my 1800mAh/3S/25C Flightpower lipo is going to work great if the amp draw below 30amp

Just bought a set of wheels today, rubber material that sticks supre well but not very spongy..... wheels are 80g total... making my all - in weight at 1.1kg .. still satisfactory....

Tried the 12x6 APC prop ... ½ trottle 5.5amp ... full trottle 29amp ... very very happy man. Wonder how much trottle for leisure flying .... worried if need more than half trottle to maintain altitude then 1800mAh FP might not last very long.

Leon, William, Ronnie, whoever flew before .. pls be at field tmr to help me out with maiden if all checks correct. No lesson tmr cause I handed in my exam project

Some shit splattered out from Leon I guess when he helped me maiden my AM after which I flew 2 successful flights and landing.
This plane makes the pilot looks good.

As faulted by Leon, my motor thrust was too straight after showing me the vertical climb not being upright, because I put 2 washers on the screw at right side of moto mount.. bad judgement call of mine during building, but it has since been corrected, yet to be tested.

Also want to thank Leon for making me realise some theories about motor thrust!

I must thank each and everyone for making this wonderful event happen!

Sorry I missed it Mr Bun!

Congrats on your maiden So when you moving on to Rolling harrier and hug the lampost like Alfian kekeke?

Haha. Thanks!
Do what that pro crazy guy do? Maybe in 5yrs time, meanwhile I have a long long way to walk before I can fly

[leonlio]

don't need 5 yrs to shed that pair of fat wheels.
