Prop Recommendation for Ehawk 1500

[basher]

Hi,

Any recommendations for prop size for the ehawk 1500? I would like to use aero-naut props together with the stock Ripper motor and 40A ESC. Thanks...

Haha, the e-hawk should not be overpowered. I learnt the hard way, used a axi 2212/26 with a 9x7 and the wings folded in a shallow dive.

the wings folder because u dive it. not the prop la.

its a glider not a warmliner or a hotliner.

one of my good friend had a omei glider and put power pack motor. zoom straight up it went.. then told him relex and dont dive. refuse to listen, dive the bugger.. end up with a pile of trash at the end of the day.

some people just dont listen enough. never never dive a glider.. you are supose to fly it down smooth and nice.

i find the stock set up is a little under powered, do u feel so?
the ehawk 1500 is a real beauty, i used to fly the 1.4m version and when the 1.5m came out, i sold mine and get it.

Hi Mathieu, could i ask which part of the wings failed? Did the CF joiners give way?

Thanks!

[Mathieu]

Hey Gecky, the CF didnt give way but the balsa cracked through it. I do agree with fuse, in hindsight i made the plane do something it wasnt designed to do. Just be careful when using more powerful setup than is required.

Thanks for the info Mathieu!

Change the 4mm carbon tubes to aluminium RODs. Or you might wanna skin off the wing and mount 2 aileron servos in the wing. I screwed my 1st Ehawk1500, its my 2nd one now. 1400kv motor on 2s 2p 1000mah serial link(4s) Its a rocket ship But I hate the v-tail controls. Servo horn can only put on the 2nd hole max...

Hey Raven, could you post some photos of your mod? Did u keep the torque rods?
I'm trying to mod my for wing mounted servos as well.

I had a lot of problem with the aft wing mount. Had to use a lot of epoxy to create a base flat enough to mount the securing plate. Broke the original laser cut plywood and had to re-fabricate a new plate...

I din know glider wing will fold. I dive my EZ Glider many times and nothing happen, the glider just pull up back nicely.

Think the Elapor foam from MPX is tough

Dont compare an apple with a orange. You aint see what is call a dive yet. Speed of EPP planes and Fully moulded Carbon Fiber/Kevlar planes are worlds apart. Ez glider 300mph? NO WAY! I think 30mph also got problem

Knowing Fuse for so many years, he is one of the F5B class pilot. I think he knows what he is toking about.
