TommyG Welcome home to Hobby Squawk! I haven't seen anyone design a centerline tank for this bird yet. I know I haven't. Given it's size, it would be a large print, but still something that can be achieved in multiple segmented prints. Perhaps one of the other resident 3DPUP designers can chime in.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Just started building this impressive plane. Like a lot of you, I'll be adding some touches to make it appear more 'scale'. Lots of discussion on replacing the stock struts. I wondered about just modifying the current ones to have a different angle by lengthening the forward link. My engineering days are far behind me so looking for comments on the approach. I 3D printed a new link, just for fit. Pictures attached. I could print this in nylon or even CF reinforced material, but should be really easy to mill from aluminum ( if I knew how).

Maiden done ! It's a nice flying plane, no trimming necessary at all, i went with the CG at 85 mm... AUW was 9kg. Speed was good, but i did not have enough power for a steep climb or a looping, so i'll have to change things. Upside was after a 10 min flight i still had 30% left in my 5000mah lipo.. i run 2x 5s 5000 in paralell... max amp draw was 54amp for each motor. My Ramoser varioprop is 13.9, and pitch set at 14.5... i've ordered a set of 15.2 diameter props, should help the vertical performance...
Some photo's i took before the maiden..
Grtz,
Didier

Post 847 will give you an idea of what i did, and yes, i'll make some close up's when i've got my new props... hopefully next week...

Thanks !
While waiting for larger prop's, i've done 3 flights with 6s instead of 5s, needless to say the performance was very good, but at WOT i exceed the max rpm tolerance of the prop's...Well, in therory i must admit... maybe in flight it's ok....
I will still try the larger prop on 5s once i've got them, will report back...

The Bronco is complete, except for the Propeller warning decals. AUW is 19lbs and a quick CG check appears almost spot on at 85mm. I need a nice table to assemble and setup the model and until conditions upgrade due to social distancing restrictions at my flying sites she'll stay in the hangar. Hopefully a few more weeks til maiden.
