Hey, Tim,
I was experimenting with a different way of flying the ultra light EZB. My record attempts earlier this year were made with a relatively large, high-pitch prop, using thick motors. This week, I wanted to try the other end of the spectrum, using a small, low-pitch prop, paired with a long and thin motor. This model uses an 8" 90 mg motor stick as opposed to my current 6" sticks that weigh between 70 and 90 mg.
Prop and motor info on the 32 minute flight:
- 11.75" x 18" prop
- 11.3" x .33g motor (~ .024" thick)
I enjoyed flying this model. I like the way it cruises and descends. But the long and light 8" motor stick was very prone to bowing at launch, even using the thin rubber and launched at relatively low torque of .06 in-oz.
I'll continue playing to better figure these things out.
