Miles M39b Libellula

Postby Steve Rickett 2333 » March 22nd, 2010, 2:41 pm

Just a quick post to say that the Libellula has now completed its Over 20kg testing and is just awaiting the final paperwork before being ready for this years show season.

8 flights have been completed to date, totaling just over 1hr 30mins. No major troubles at all have been encountered. A few niggly little things, but the model handles very well and very predictably.

Specs are:

Span 130"
Weight 60lbs
Power 2 x Saito 36FG's (36cc)
Radio Futaba and 35mhz Weatronic driving 20 servos.
2 x 4600 mAh 7.2v battery packs.

Next stop....East Kirkby.
