Are you fully healed and building again? I have luck with 2212s on everything... can't go wrong for 7 bucks either.

Trying to get back into the swing of it, its a lot of up and down as sitting for any length of time still bothers me, so I just kind of pick at it a piece or two at a time, not rebounding from injury like I did 20 years ago LOL.

Amen to that. I build standing up. Works for me.

Not sure why I didn't post any pics of the finished Bush Hawk but here are a few. It is going out for a maiden tomorrow morning along with the Super Bandit, the Foamtrix and the S600. Going to be a busy morning. On this one the top hatch area I covered with a thin piece of some kind of plastic so that the edges wouldn't detiriate from opening and closing and stuff. Also did the same thing with a hatch on the bottom. I struggled with where and how big I wanted the ailerons to be and ended up cutting small ones more out toward the wing tips. We'll see how that works out. It is 3 channel, ailerons and elevator and I expect that it will stand up to some bashing around LOL! Wing struts were unnecessary but I had them on the original so what the hey, they look ok. 30A ESC, 2212 2200Kv motor with a 6x4 prop and it will balance out with anything from a 3s 850mah to a 3s 1500mah. I am going with a 1500 for the maiden. Hopefully I get a good maiden out of it.

Bush Hawk doesn't look so great anymore lol! Tore the entire front of it off. The 2212 motor was perfect, no problems there. I suspected that those tiny little ailerons would give me a little trouble, turns out I had very little to no ability to make a turn and in my attempt to bring it down caught the landing gear on some rocks which ripped the whole front end off. Promising flight so I will rebuild and try it again with much larger ailerons.

Weird, I would have guessed that was enough aileron. Come to think of it, on another plane like this, the thick bottom seemed to interfere with airflow to the bottom of the aileron, so basically only one aileron was working. When they finally got low enough to catch air the plane would snap, it was like having the most ridiculous expo set up ever.

Yep that is what it pretty much what it was like. Should have put a rudder on it at the very least.
