Cessna Cardinal

[9600baud]

Hi all,

here comes another No-Cal, this time scaled down to 75%.
It's very fragile. At the maiden flight I realised one wing was warped and I had to fix that. After that and a bit more of down thrust it flies nicely and I'm happy

Wingspan: 305 mm / 12"
Weight: 2.3 g without rubber
Rubber: loop of 27 cm of 1 mm²

Here is a short video:

Cheers

Nice build, what did you do between the 2 flights. it slowed down and flew better, less rubber?

Thanks!
The motor was the same. It was 900 turns for the first flight and 1000 turns for the second.
To me it the speed looks quite even but you might have a better eye for this

Great job.

Love all that use of heavy iron to build this ultra light small model!

Many folks don't understand how important having well defined datums are to a nice finished project.
