Hi,
Anyone know if Aerotech is considering an RMS system based on this size? Reason I ask is I had a large model that flew fine to about 900' on the F21-6 but eventually
crashed when
I messed up on the parachute packing. (Don't ask)
Being a BAR I did a good construction job but did
everything the hard way. I slathered 4 coats of bondo
on the sanded bare body tubes. Had to sand like crazy
between coats. I fiberglassed balsa fins where I just
should have used plywood. I had a complex stenciled paint
job with no stickers and decals.
I am now reprising the model and am going to have a bit of
a time trying to get it to the ideal weight of 540 grams.
I quasi glassed it and have to sand off some of the
Environ-Tex lite epoxy coat to try to get it to the
appropriate weight. It is partially finished with the
24mm engine mount in, fins mounted and epoxy fillets in
place. It is actually a bashed Estes Mean Machine with
larger fins so I can paint it in an American flag motif.
This time I had a stencil cutter so vinyl stars so no more
stenciling the stars for paint!
Now if Aerotech had an RMS 24mm X 96mm engine coming down
the pike I'd have more engine choices to get this beast up a
bit higher.
As an aside, I liked the model so much, I am building a
version with LOC 2.51" tubes for 29mm that will take up to
an I motor so I won't need to worry about power there. :)
