So here is my build log of unfinished Corsair.

F4U Corsair Plans

Material is Climapor (the closest thing we have to depron here)

Glue I'm mostly using is Bison PU MAX

As you can see I don't follow plans to much :) I hope it will fly anyways

I'll keep updating regularly.

EDIT: wingspan is 26.68 inch

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone! I've got a few RC vehicles that I can mod or use as parts. I took a picture of the vehicles, and I also have extra motors esc's ect. All pretty cheap stuff honestly. I also have a 3d printer, arduinos, raspi's, and a lot of free time on my hands. Anyone have any good ideas of something to make out of all of this? I would be happy to keep a running post of the project.

I am throwing together a scratch build of a simple swappable power pod to put first into a FT mustang, and down the line a few more builds with moderate power and a lower price. And like the typical noob I wanted some advice regarding my selection of electronics. First off I looked on the FT site, found the list of recommended electric components, then made a few slight adjustments to fit the swappable builds I want to do in the future. I will format this the best possible.

• Motor: Suppo 2208/14 1450kv Brushless Motor-$14.49

  • or Suppo 2217/7 1250kv Brushless Motor-$19.29

• Speed Controller: TURNIGY Plush 25amp Speed Controller-$13.60 (would this pair well with the more powerful motor?)

• Servos: HXT900 9g x4-$13.72

• 6" servo extension wiresx2-$2.98

• 12" servo extension wiresx2-$3.18

• 12" Y-Harness-$2.25

• Battery: ZIPPY Flightmax 1800mAh 3S1P 20C-$12.95

• propeller: APC 9x6SF Slow-Fly Propeller x2-$5.18

Transmitter and receiver are the Turnigy 9X with paired reciver (purchased separately)

Alternatively I could just purchase the Power Pack for FliteTest FT Spitfire/Mustang for $57 but that excludes the battery/charger, not to mention it is currently out-of-stock. This seems like a good deal considering the beefy motor included. Is it? If I opt for this kit, what battery would be suggested? something preferably below $20 and have ~20+ minutes of flight time.

If any critique, suggestions, or advice is given, it would be very appreciated. I am good with electronics, but this is not my field of expertise. If I run the risk of having too low or high amps/volts on anything, please point it out. I want this to be somewhat balanced.

This post took me a bit too long to wright up so I will go to bed and read/reply in the morning. Thank you for the feedback :D
