High Quality Plan Sets for Radio Control Aircraft
Henry Struck's 1937 Benny Boxcar
Scaled to 108 inch span
Page 25
For the first flight a 2200mah 3S LiPo battery for motor power and a 1450 mah 2s LiFEO4 for reciever power were used. An 18-10 APC electric prop was used but a smaller prop will be used later.
The Boxcar left the ground at about 40% power and climbed well at less than half throttle. CG was at 45% and as you can see in this photo of the model in a glide the elevator is neutral.
The in flight photos were taken by Doug Barton. Now it's back to the workshop to finish making the molds for a fiberglass cowl.
