I think it is personal preference and where you want to see the detail. I haven't done a lithophane in a while. I personally prefer doing them laying down, however quite a few people suggest standing them on end.

Thanks! I hope to start doing videos again in the future.

@@WindCatcherRC Talk to you offline I'm curious how you did the text & titles. Pretty cool. The yelling over the motor running was quite hilarious. You really need a David Clark aviation headset/mic for your action scenes.

"This is your captain speaking: we are now going to test the Gens Ace 3s 2200 pack". Sorry, due to budget cuts within the airline, we no longer provide any beer to hold".

I purchased the Turnigy Thrust Stand from Hobby King. It appears it is no longer available.

Your drone design has a lot to do with which motor to choose. I can not say for certain if this will work or not for your drone.

This was not my model. I think the plane is still flying at the club.

For this video I used what I had available which was a Sky Power 45amp ESC from Heads Up Hobby. Unfortunately, Heads Up is no longer in business. If I had to do this test again, I would get a name brand ESC like T-Motor or Castle. I am working on getting some electronics in stock over the next few months.

@@WindCatcherRC , con uno de 40 A podría usar en este motor ?

The 10x7 on a 4s should be okay. I recommend using a watt meter to be sure you are not pulling too much current. Also watch your temperatures.

The ESC I used for this test was a 45amp made by Sky Power. If I did this again, I'd use a better name brand like T-motor or Castle. There are others too.

This was not my plane. I don't know much about the engine. I'm an all electric guy myself. I took the video at one of our local clubs. I suggest getting on some of the facebook groups or RC forums and ask for advice from those who are more educated about these type of engines than I am. Good luck!

This was not my plane. It was owned by a club member from the Adrian, MI, club. I don't know if he still has it or maybe you just bought it. haha I have to say it was beautiful to see him fly it and hear it run.

@@WindCatcherRC it ended up being wrecked and not repaired not very well I pulled the engine off sold it I'm putting a saito gas radial on it, and am in the process of doing dual elevator and repairing it better

I honestly don't know a lot about liquid fuel motors. I am an all electric guy. I really enjoying seeing what other people do with gas/nitro stuff. All that being said, I think the motor they used on the PT-17 in this video was a little under powered. The plane had enough power for level flight, but not enough for acrobatics. I hope that helps.

Wind Catcher RC thanks and that feedback is good.

Thank you for sharing and thanks for the updated information on the wingspan. I'll correct that in the description.

Good luck with yours! I hope it works out for you. Let me know if you need EPP foam. :)

Thanks for sharing that! What is the software trick you mentioned to do tapered wings?

iCrash are you following my flitetest build log on it? Will post today in that spot

I'll take a look at it. That will be an interesting thread, I'm sure! Thanks for letting me know. Go ahead and link it here in case other people are interested too.

actually, I couldn't plow as deep as I needed to because the tractor tires were slipping in the wet clay. It is supposed to go down to 14". I think that day I was getting between 6-8".

Yep, that is going up after the house and pole barn are built out there. :)

this was in Michigan in February. It was a nasty day! I could hear the hail coming. I had enough time to go back into my house, get my iPhone, and then start recording.

For a receiver, there is no problem to have an antenna attached or not. A transmitter is different, if there is no protection circuit to attenuate the power you can burn things up. The only time you need to worry about no antenna on a receiver is when there is an active amplifier between the antenna and receiver. Unless you are running a very specialized custom build you do not need to worry about it. As far as I know all of our FPV receivers are passive, which means there is no amplifier between the receiver and antenna. Hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks RKRC. I made version 3 of this prototype last week and flew it on Friday. I am working on the video right now and hope to have that up by early next week. I made the ailerons twice as wide and now I feel it is perfect. The plane on low rates is mild and easy to fly for anyone with some experience. On high rates it loops tight and rolls nice. She slows way down for easy to control slow passes. On a 1300mah - 3s battery I can get about 7-8 minute flights. Overall I'm very happy with the latest version.

Sounds perfect!
