Threw this together at #flitefest from the remains of the goose, after it got taken out in combat. It flew amazing after I bought a #flitetest power pack, until that plane hit my prop. The flying wing is well beyond my skill level to fly, so this is its new home.

Making sure it won’t blow up in your face another matter, and watching how [Christoph Laimer] puts his motor to the test is instructive. You’ll remember [Christoph]’s giant 3D-printed BLDC motor from a recent post where he gave the motor a quick test spin. That the motor held together under load despite not being balanced is a testament to the quality of his design and the quality of the prints. But not wishing to tempt fate, and having made a few design changes, [Christoph] wisely chose to perform a static …read more http://pje.fyi/PRZbQw

This last week was SEFF, a week of electric-powered remote-controlled aircraft above 1700 feet of Bermuda grass in the middle of Georgia. [Damon Atwood] has been bringing his 16-foot-wingspan Emmaselle to SEFF for a few years now, and this year we’re getting a great video of the flight. This is, or was at one time, the 3rd largest electric RC on the planet. It’s flying on 11S, and is absolutely beautiful in the air. Speaking of electric RC meetups, Flite Fest West is going on right now. Flite Fest East will be July 13th through the 16th. Here’s the link …read more http://pje.fyi/P1zByZ
