A colleague pointed out that I should get a battery sooner rather than later, so I don't waste my effort if the battery can't provide enough juice to lift off. So I ordered one: Li-Po 5000mAh 20C, 30C for ten seconds. That's 100A continuous and 150A burst. Doesn't sound feasible! We'll see.
I got the upper tail fins finished and fitted. They're mostly for show. They may help in forward flight, but I'm no aero-engineer. I'm working on gut-feel!
With as much as possible fitted and two lumps of metal for "some other stuff", it weighs in at 2kg.
carbon fiber, aerogel parts?
ReplyDeleteMostly balsa at the moment, fins are polycarbonate. Have no intentions to use carbon fiber, but you never know, that could change. Never heard of aerogel. What is it? I'll have to Google it...
