Hi subbu,

i hv put in some pics as u wanted it..Try to put in some velcro so that the wings dont move at all.

I had a weird accident on my easy star.

Easy star was abt 100ft in the air and the wings just came out  ;D. The prop disappeared, wings were flying to one side and the fuselage just rocketted down to the ground * bang * but no harm done i was in the air within 10 minutes.. ;D

Hope these pics help you decide on hw to attach the wings on the fuselage..

Cheers

Atul G.

hey guys test fitted everything and everything works very good the only thing is that if the plane is underpowered i am using 2212/10 bl and at full throttle it doesnot even move forward in the ground though i have not taped the bottom another suggestion could be to use the bigger mammoth 222w motor from sai uncle will post details a little later

The Easy star uses a  small prop becuase of the mount position , you cannot use a prop more that 6 " hence to generate enough thrust you need a high KV Motor like the 2212/06  with a 30 amp ESC 2212/10 cant work.

just curious, won't it be ok to mount the motor on the nose of this plane?

Pikle6

hey sai uncle actually in the previous pics if you see i have used 2212/06 but i thought that it would be tooooo overpowered for the plane hence i used the2212/10 anyways will change it back to 2212/06

hey guys testing it tomorrow with the powerful 2212/06 and just a little info the planes wingspan is about ten cm more and the plane has a lot of cf embedded into it thats the reason the planes weight is around 600-700gms

hey guys my fear of this setup being underpowered vanished as soon as i attached the landing gear on the plane and this plane shall take off with the same setup i.e 2212/10 (though it was not meant to be a pusher motor  ;D ;D)
