Hey ho web neighbours
Well, The Multiplex Easystar I bought from Modelspot arrived, and 8 weeks later I've got it out the box and built it all, and made a few small modifications, nothing major as I'm still an amateur and learning, so want to find my feet first as I'm still needing to master safe take-off and landings.
So, heres what my Multiplex Easystar looks like now its finsihed:
Multiplex Easystar foam kit
40amp Turnigy Plush ESC mounted on the top by cutting away the top to make it flat.
2700KV Turnigy brushless inrunner motor glued into the fuselage
APC 4.5 x 4.1 prop with aluminium prop mount to help with the CG over the rear.
Futaba 7ch receiver, purely because thats what I had available at the time.
Entire all up flying cost for this plane is under £100, and it packs plenty of serious punch.
When I built this model, I did some reading up on various websites and found that many had crashed and broken the fuselage, so I decided to coat the internal cockpit area with Zacki glue, let that harden, then fibre tape the entire inside of the battery compartment with a little extra UHU Por to hold in the velcro for the batteries.
I then covered the entire fuselage in Fibre tape to strengthen it and protect it from whats called "hanger rash" (Damaging it during transport to/from the flying field) so after spending an entire afternoon taping the living daylights out of it, I then covered all the fibre tape in coloured sticky tape to protect the fibre tape from disintegrating because sunlight makes it go nasty yellow and UV light ruines the fibre tape, plus it looks rubbish just covered in fibre tape, so 1 roll of yellow and 1 roll of red purchased from Avicraft and 3 hours of cutting and sticking, a-vwoala, its ready to fly
I deliberately put the ESC on the top to keep it cool because the inside of the easystar is tiny, and the inside of the fuselage before glued together isnt big enough and has zero ventilation, so the roof was pretty much the only place left, short of cutting out the bottom and making some sort of belly box to put it in, which I am still thinking about with a new fuselage if I ever smash this one up...
Entire build took me about a week of messing about and experimenting but it turned out really well, and I'm now trying to get some decent video of me flying it
