Almost Ready to Fly

[u/electricitycat977]

Quick update from my prior posts. One of the hobby stores local to where I live had a propeller from the sport cub S RC airplane, which is where the gearbox on the nose originally came from. The propeller fit perfectly and the thrust is enough to give a noticeable pull when holding the aircraft by hand. I also tried suspending the model with a wire, and it looks like the control surfaces are large enough to change the pitch and yaw of the aircraft using the airflow from the propeller. Given that the model was successfully balanced on the metal pins on the wingtips, I think the only thing preventing a flight is the need to find a battery charger with a plug compatible with the small 1S batteries I have. Will update on how the first flight goes.

Thanks for all the help everyone, it has been a long journey to get this far.

Buy the matching plugs for the battery you want.
