Coast Guard Build Thread












Hurricane EP550 body and .30 Funkey fuselage with wheel retraction driven by 2 servos.

Steps:

1) Retraction system , waiting PIC burning for slow retraction and LED lighting.

2) Trex 600L motor too tall. Have to put back my 1000kv BL. Then have to gear up with 16T / 50T front gear to achieve HS ~1900.

3) The tail hub have to trim at the link ball lever.

4) Swashplate may hit the fuselage on highest range. Need to trim 3 slots.

5) Battery weight better bear on the frame rather than on the fuselage, as the fuselage is not yet mounted secure enough to the main frame.

6) Hurricane EP550 seems a good fit for the .30 fuselage

7) Thinking of putting some seat and pilot inside.
