The Speedy is the plane I designed for the original "fastest foamy" thread on RCGroups.com.
I designed this plane to be strong, easy to build, and to go fast.
** Make note that most motors will need
the shaft reversed, and may need modification to do that.**
**For those who are not comfortable modifying the shaft here is a good 3mm shaft with the groove already at the end of the shaft that fit the motors I suggest below. 3mm shaft
The specs:
Wingspan is 26"
Length is 21"
Flying weight 10.8 oz's (3s setup)
Recommended power setup:
This setup will get the Speedy to go
around 90-100 mph
Motor: One with a high kv from 3000kv to 4000kv
Here are two that I recommend but the shafts will need to be modified in order to flip them.
Prop: 4.1x4.1 to 4.5x4.5 APC style or equivalent
I have been able to get the Speedy up to 138mph using other power setups but it made the Speedy much heavier and is not recommended for novice pilots. My thread on RCGroups.com covers the other power setups I used to make it go faster.
The assembly of the Speedy is very easy
due to the interlocking tab and slot construction.
The hinges are pre-beveled and even the grooves
for the carbon spars are milled out.
