See how manageable the model parts are? The long wing part measures 2.150 mm, and the shorter comes in with 1.641 mm without winglets (to be produced yet).
Here you can see the huge 16.000 mAh 6s LiPo battery packs Matjaz chose for his flagship. The seemingly small YGE 120 HV ESC stays cool thanks to the plastic tubing, which brings fresh air from the hollow nose cone. With our motors current consumption of 75 to 78 A, long flights are guaranteed even without thermals.
As allready mentioned, the wing is built from styrofoam and abachi with plenty of carbon reinforcements. The finish is epoxi with glass fabric, painted with two component colors. Each wing is made in two parts with round composite joiner. The central joiner is custom made in epoxi carbon.
When it's time to decide which electric power train to choose, it has become a no brainer for us. Just call Andreas Reisenauer, tell him your model data and expected performance and in no time you have a dead on solution. This time we got the following proposal:
- gear box MotorChief 1:5 with motor Scorpion HK-5020-700KV
- folding prop Freudenthaler RFM 24 x 12 with 90 mm middle part
- 12 s LiPo (Matjaz went for two 6s, 16.000 mAh packs!)
- YGE 120 HV ESC*
Needles to say, the field measurements confirm Andreas's predictions: the motor consumes 75 to 78 A at 44 V and turns the prop at very strong 6.800 rpm. The start takes a really short roll distance and climb rate is as comfortable as it gets.
* A short piece of plastic tubing from the hollow nose cone to the ESC works wonders in hot summer days!
Very early in model design we decided to split the fuselage in two parts for easier handling and transport. The parts are still voluminous, but the handling is decidedly easier... Here you can see the Freudenthaler folding prop RFM 24 x 12, still missing the spinner. And so, if one looks closely, a mighty Reisenauer MotorChief propeller flange with M10 fastening screw can be seen. In the front part, the huge 16.000 mAh LiPo accu packs and the YGE ESC have more than ample space.
