Finished a new hobby project...

I bought this older ARF (almost ready to fly) kit a while back. One is supposed to be able to assemble and fly in about 4 hrs. Ha! It was so poorly designed that I decided to redesign it to make it not be a lawn dart. 2 months later, it is done. I added new features like flaps for landing and retracts. Changed the design in areas to make it more reliable. Plus a pilot for effect. Can't wait to fly it.

That’s brilliant how does that motor work ?

@Barny52 Hello Barney. The motor is a 3-pole brushless type using an electronic speed control and a 92mm ducted fan. The battery is a LiPo type at 14.8v. It puts out quite a bit of thrust and you can feel the suction at the inlets. The air also cools the motor and speed control.
