Maiden video was interrupted by other people talking so I decided to post the second flight. -SunnySky 3520 780kv -12x8 APC prop -80A ESC -4s3700 battery
I've had it out 3 more times since this video. I have the CG 1/2" behind the aft "limit" and it flies great. Still moving the pack back a bit at a time. It's pretty solid on all positive G maneuvers but it will tumble pretty well when you go high rate on the elevator. Lands nice and slow and gentle with flaps. I'll do an update video next time I get out and show more of what it can do with these mods. Yet it still flies like a trainer when you just cruise around. Super fun and super happy with it. I have some drawings of my mods if you are interested in them.
I have a hat that has a gopro mount on it. With the this and earlier videos I was using a gopro 8 with the most narrow view field it supports. Recently though I experimented with a cell phone mount that attaches to the gopro mount on the hat. In general the phone has less fish-eye and also can do 2x zoom. I tried the 2x zoom on the latest video of the Deflatlon. Not perfect but works pretty well. This video was the first cell phone test at 1x with the Deflatlon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wRJd1FX7i0s.html
Nice plane and flight, maybe You can help me with a question, I bought a kit of the seagull swift trainer it’s 63´ wingspan from gator rc , dou You think I can use the same set up that You have in the cadet, (sunny sky 3520 780 kv and 80A Esc?’…thanks
I think it would pull it around no problem. The Kadet is right at 5.4lb and it pulls it around with authority. The specs on the Swift say 5.5-6.2lb. So if you are able to keep it light closer to 5.5 I think it would perform great. Even if it was near 6lb I think it would still be a solid power plant.
