Piper Pacer profile model

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
Alex

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

All right! Nice job staying out of the stall. Now to work on right hand turns and figure 8s.

Is this the same Rx we were discussing in the Microaces Master Series Albatros DV 450mm (1/20) thread?
Cut it twice and it was still too short!

  Well Done Alex that flies very nicely. I think the gear noise adds to the atmosphere.
