Hi all,
I thought I'll try an RC model for a change.
It must be a model that could fly very slow because I haven't flown any RC models. So I chose the Piper Pacer No-Cal version and converted it to RC.
It's heavy (24.9 g) compared to an actual No-Cal, but light enough to go really slow.
It uses a brushed and geared 615 motor. The gears make it really screaming, which is a bit annoying. The 100 ma/h battery lasts at least for 10 minutes.
Overall I'm quite happy, how it worked out. Here is a video of the second attempt. In the first I broke the landing gear, so that had to be rebuilt.
Cheers

That flys well Alex.
That is a nice indoor flying area.

Thanks John, yes, I'm happy to have found a club nearby with that gym.
Sometimes I want a higher ceiling, that would be perfect for the free flight models ;)
Cheers
Alex
