SP 2 RC - Cygnet - Update

55.4k Beefy  9 months ago

Hiya!

So it's been three months since I posted the last update and I'm happy to tell you that Cygnet has flown IRL


8x6x3 propeller, 1100kv 2217 motor, and a 1380mAh 4S battery.

But unfortunately an airframe failure totalled the entire plane, the right wing separating at a height of 250ft. The entire wing was foamboard and I didn't expect Cygnet to be 1kg.

I'll be redesigning the entire airframe to have a steerable nose gear, and better wing spars.

The plane flies great, and I'll be building a new one again.

See you again in the next 6 months 😂
