I just picked up a F-18 Sport in Germany. Was an offer i could not refuse. Complete with Behotec C50 electric gear and servo's. It will be powered by a evoJet B220ex which will be limited to 19kg for now.
Specs:
F-18 Sport by UR Modellbau (1.79 span, 2.60 length)
Behotec C50 electric gear with trailing oleo's
On most surfaces 20kg savox and futaba's on the rudders
evoJet B220ex with 19kg
Grumania pipe
3.6L tank (keep it light)
Powerbox Mercury SRS
Weight: Dry 17kg i hope but 18kg must not be an issue
The F-18 has not flown yet and has to be finished. I will modify the motor location to move it forward. Normally there is a large amount of lead needed in the nose, i want no lead The plane can handle the weight but it will fly better without.
The new motor mounts are ready. Made from 20x20x1,5 alu profile. Feels really solid.
Next step is wiring (was done, but i wil change some things).
