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.

Finished with a pretty nice result:

-   auw: 2380kg – and it is a Corsa 2.75m 😉 – the original e-schwing 88 was 2600kg in 6s configuration
-   3s lipo 2200mah
-   500W brushless
-   CG at 99mm – (58gr lead added in the nose !)

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.
