My newest acquisition is the Twisted Hobbys 35″ EPP Crack Turbo Beaver. I built it using Twisted’s “Standard” power combo:
- Crack Series 26g 1450kv Motor
- Crack Series 12A Esc
- (4) 5g Micro Servos
I’m currently running
- 450mAh 3-cell LiPos
- 8043 slow-fly propellers
I had some problems at first getting the CG set, but now it’s looking like nothing but fun. I use Scotch Heavy Duty Fastener to hold the battery on, as I do for virtually all of my planes.
The battery mounting strip is made of regular Styrofoam with Scotch Heavy Duty Fastener attached.
This original battery position resulted in a tail-heavy plane.
The revised battery position, which gives a much better CG.
