Nexa F6f

[Ron1950]

waiting for a few parts but all going well everything fits well and the wing bolts holes are pre drilled and actually line up well... motor and esc will be fms 5060 300kv and ztw 85a esc servos are ordered so just waiting for awhile...

[Ron1950]

Y harnesed the left side flaps and the right side flaps then Y the two sides seems one servo chatters and moves on its own. With the servo tester it works fine. Could it be bad from asking too much juice from one port on the reciver?

[Ron1950]

finally finished weight is 10lbs with a 6s 4500 a 5060 fms 300kv motor it cg ed right at book value if it weighed any more it might not get off the ground

Looking forward to your flight reports. I'm a big Hellcat fan. I have the Dynam F6F. But, I'm really interested in the Nexa version.

I know, just how cool is this airframe. Post pics of the build, please and have a very Merry Christmas, Sir. Best, LB

[rifleman_btx]

Will do, and you have a merry Christmas as well.

[rifleman_btx]

Just ordered the hellcat, looking forward to the build

[Elbee]

rifleman_btx, Love the HC, looking forward to seeing your build, Sir and Happy New Year to you, too. Best, LB

[rifleman_btx]

Happy New Year Elbee brother! Absolutely can't wait to get going on it i have a power 60 setup im gonna do on it. With a 500kv 6s system on an 80 amp esc that will also have an 8 amp external bec driving the electronics. I'm thinking it should scoot along fairly well.

i still havent flown mine as we have had bad weather or high winds past few weeks...has anyone thought how to get the 4 flaps to work as one? i found a 4 into one Y type harness on ebay but havent tryed it in flight at all just wondering about any other idears on this

[rifleman_btx]

Should work fine. Mine will be here Monday

[Ron1950]

what motor will u use? mine didnt need any nose weight due to a big 5060 fms motor of corse i havent flown mine yet either lol good luck with yours. its a very easy build after the cowel and motor are fitted for the prop btw the wing hold down bolt holes are in the wing u just have to find them, i almost started drilling holes before i found them

[rifleman_btx]

I've actually found an old 5056 430kv i forgot I had with a 150A esc. I'm planning to use that vs the slightly smaller motor (500kv) that came off my crashed flex inovations Cap.

[Ron1950]

prob wont need any nose weight then as it sounds as big and heavy as the 5060. i used the fms 4 blade prob and hub from the 170mm v4 corsair and that is kinda heavy also...keep us advised on the build please

[rifleman_btx]

Will do, it just arrived this evening, very impressed with how its setup. Ready to get rolling on this project.

[rifleman_btx]

Night one, installed all servos in the wings and fuse. Joined the wings together. Tomorrow I will work on the tail feathers and hooking up the servos to the control surfaces and installing the motor/esc. So far its a pretty fun build project.

[Elbee]

Night one.

RM, Great looking airframe. Nice choice and great work, Sir, as usual. Best, LB

[rifleman_btx]

Finished her up today the motor mount was a bear, but once I got that part done, the rest was smooth sailing. Also did some soldering work instead of multiple y harnesses. Probably saved me a couple oz of weight in wires and plugs. Really excited to test fly her soon.
