2013 was amazing for a starch building....
Built n flew FT Nutball and FT Flyer with the help of senior members....

But as per a senior flyer suggestion....I needed a trainer model to learn to fly ....
I need to learn as soon as I can so instead of building a model, I decided to buy one and learn to fly

So after doing some research ....I decided to go for a AXN floater.

One of my friend from Chennai had a AXN Floater Air Frame (slightly damaged and wing tip cut).(attached the pics)..

I will be enforcing the model in the best possible way  I can think of, using 1/2/3 mm CF rods n  tubes.

Pic 1 > wing parts
pic 2 > damaged fuse....hot water treatment should fix it
pic 3 > fuse with the canopy
pic 4 > motor mount.

I have already have the following electronics

> Turnigy 9x  tx/rx
> 4X 9 gm servos
> 30 amps OEM ESC 
>6/4 props


Now I'm confused with which motor I should be using for this model as the weight will be increased

Senior members please suggest a good motor for my model along with the source to buy if possible.

Awaiting help and suggestions

Although I am not an expert but if the plane can handle a 6x4 these motors would be good.

get a axn floater motor 2150 kv. it can run on a 20a-30a esc
or get a turnigy 22826 2200kv motor. this ill give you enough thrust, but you may require a 40a esc.

Thanks for your suggestions nitesh and aniket,

however the motor mount on the plane is for 22 size motors....will 28 size motor fit in ?

@nitesh...I have 30 amps esc...so NTM 28-36 would probably burn my ESC

you are right.
use this motor http://rchobbyaddict.com/product_info.php?cPath=53_90&products_id=424

Today i started the re-building of AXN Floater.....

joined the wing tips on both the wings using bondtite clear.

please note in pic 3 the wing tip joint has a little inward bump (marked in red)....will that change any major flight characteristics?

in the 3rd pic above.... the wing tip joint has a little inward bump (marked in red)....will that change any major flight characteristics?

Nope..just put a tape over it

All the motor sugesstions above are too powerful and heavy for this model.

You need only a 2805 2200 KV equivalent motor with 4.5x4.5 prop on 3S or 6x3 on 2S and 18-20 Amps ESC for this model.
