The new CC ICE HV80 only weighs 2oz compared to the HV85 at 4+.<BR>.02<BR>RS<BR> <BR>> Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 06:45:27 -0800<BR>> From: mups1953@yahoo.com<BR>> To: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Help Me Loose Weight<BR>> <BR>> Ron that's a chunk to lose. It can be done but it gets costly.<BR>> On Chris Moon's ElectricF3a Forums there is a building thread of the Sickle's from last spring. I had to shave about a pound off the Fatboy to make weight. I did it at a pretty expensive cost but I did it just the same.<BR>> http://electric-f3a.com/smf/index.php?topic=52.0<BR>> <BR>> Here's a part of 1 post<BR>> Re: Sickle build <BR>> « Reply #79 on: November 09, 2009, 06:30:19 AM » Quote Modify Remove <BR>> <BR>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> <BR>> Wow that's a big question. I think it's covered in the
thread.<BR>> Things I changed and did.<BR>> PGB wing tube,<BR>> lightest servo's possible<BR>> I shaved of 5 ounces from the inside of the fuse mostly the nose.<BR>> I changed to much lighter landing gear.<BR>> I used a YGE controller to save 2 ounces<BR>> no switch<BR>> 800 Mil receiver pack only<BR>> CF prop<BR>> I have the weight down to 10lbs 15.5 ounces.<BR>> It ain't easy!!!! Mike<BR>> <BR>> Other ideas.<BR>> Consider the smaller AXI motor info on <A href="http://f3aunlimited.com/" target=_blank>F3AUnlimited.com</A><BR>> You do not need a full size Pletty in that plane for advanced. It's total overkill.<BR>> You can drop your lipo's down to 4500 mil or even smaller for advanced too. This could save up to 8 ounces.<BR>> Maybe the new Spin 75 ESC at 2 ounces.<BR>> No spinner just a rounded nut. It allows better cooling and works great.<BR>> Wheels,pants and axles add up. Think in grams and
pretty soon you get there.<BR>> Servos. I ran 3421's MG!!!! in the ailerons without any problems. The Airtronics wing servos are .8 ounce and do the job too.<BR>> Linkages, wires all add up and need to be as short as possible.<BR>> You can drop your receiver lipo down to as low as a 460 Mil. No switch and a Jaccio light weight 6V regulator only.<BR>> Receivers come extrememly light now. I have a new Airtronics 6 channel full range that would fly a pattern plane that weighs under 10 grams.<BR>> Cut all un needed structure out of the airframe. Use light weight materials like CF balsa trays. Watch the weight of all your hardware. I have tail wheels that weight 8 grams.<BR>> You can do it.
