Ep 46A Building the Hobbyking Laser Cut Stick

Follow

HK offer laser cut kits from a company called elerc.com. They call this one a big stick but it has a 1m wingspan so its not that big. The negatives are the instructions are terrible, I didn't like the way you are supposed to do the airlerons and the undercarriage is too small both in size and wire diameter. The positives are it goes together nicely and flies great. I did make a number of modifications (see video narration) and not all are required. For the undercarriage gets some 2.5 mm piano wire and use that instead of what is provided. The instructions list the CG as 1920cm from the top of the head?? Mine balanced at around 30% of the wing chord back from the leading edge and it seem fine. Not recommeded as a first build unless you have a more experienced friend to help and advice but otherwise fun to build and fun to fly.
