Henry Struck's 1937 Benny Boxcar in 108 inch span
For the first flight a 2200mah 3S LiPo
battery for motor power and a 1450 mah 2s LiFEO4 for reciever power were
used. An 18-10 APC electric prop was used but a smaller prop will be
used later.
The Boxcar left the ground at about 40%
power and climbed well at less than half throttle. CG was at 45% and
as you can see in this photo of the model in a glide the elevator is
neutral. The in flight photos were taken by Doug
Barton. Now it's back to the workshop to finish making the molds for
a fiberglass cowl.
