E-Schwing Corsa build log

This build is using the e-schwing fuselage to simply make an electric version of the Schwing glider (a Schwing Corsa here), not a hotliner as this fuselage was primary designed for.

  • CG at 99mm – (58gr lead added in the nose !)

  • 1 x KST X08N MG V5.0 HV – elevator
  • 1 x PTK 9497 MG-D – rudder
  • SunnySky X2220-III 1400kv
  • FrSky G-RX8 & R9 MM (for redundancy)
  • ESC 40A (w/ UBEC 5V)

Test result of this outrunner 1400kv… My watt meter reports 45Amp at 75% with 11×6 blades. Which means more than 500 Watts. The traction is huge.
