Gws Mustang II



decided to build a custom made firewall instead of the stick which is used to mount the motor which i feel is flimsy. take note that the epoxy glue dries very fast, thus do not waste time applying too much or else the glue will dry without the firewall in place. luckily the firewall offset the motor to the right.
the vertical and horizontal stabiliser are 90 degree to one another and the wing are also inline with the horizontal stabiliser.
the built was more precise with the aileron. rudder was slightly to the left, due to the push rod not bend at the correct place, however problem rectified using trim on the controller. elevator was slightly off between the left and the right due to the hole drill not align, but rectified by just bending the rod.
with the use of dremel tools, more precise holes can be drilled. the firewall can also be easily sand down to a precise fit.
maiden the plane with dad. flew really well and fast. need some down trim and left trim. other than that, able to fly 10mins+ with a 1800mAh 3S1P lipo. CG is at the tip of the wheel well nearer the bamboo stick.
