Saxton F4U Corsair
Hows this for an
ambitious
project? A clubmate of mine has the
exact same plane and it weighs
32 lbs. He powers his with a G-62
gas engine, which swings a 22 X
10 in. prop 6800 RPM! I was
originally thinking along
the lines of 2 electric motors ganged to
one shaft. I have since found a
4000 watt motor that should get
me to the same power level as the
G-62, and swing a 26" X 16"
prop Direct drive! It
will use 60 - 90 cells. The pictures of the
beast are below the plane pics.
How about a 94" wing, anybody?
All of these pictures were taken on the Bethel Island Golf Course!
I think I could start my
Harley
with this motor, what do you think?
I finally got this one 2/5/02
from
a previous Ebay inquiry. Now I need the speed control. Schulze is
making
a microprocessor unit for 90 cells and it should be ready this spring.
I'm going to have to clear out some room so I can build the 94" wing.
Can
you believe this baby weighs 4 lb. - 4.6 oz.?
