...I could surf a little to find it here on the TRF, or do the TRF search thingy, but what the heck, I thought I would just start another R.R. thread.
So I am building this Fliskit with my son, and I am building per the instructions, to use the 3 D motor configuration. I stuffed the motor mount with tissue soaked in Elmers glue, and mounted into the 1st tube, and it dawned on me, this R.R. might be getting a little on the heavy side.
So my question to the group is: Building strong and light, what kind of altitude can I expect to get from the R.R. on 3 D12's?
On my own personal R.R. I had planned on moding the mounts to accept (3) E9's...what alt might I expect? hmmmm
I do have rocsim, and plan to sim it out, but these ?'s are for the ones that have flown these combos in their RR's. I priced out some E30's, that the local Hobbytown USA has plenty of, and one flight might cost me $33
One other mod, my son wants all of his fins to match. If you have an RR, then you know what I am referring too, as the RR has (2) wide fins, and (2) narrow fins. He wants all the fins to be wide...I have a gut feeling this is going to add to the weight of the design.
All in all, I don't want to have to fly this thing on D12-0's in order to recover safely. any RR advice from the experienced RR fliers out there??
