They look great Christian - nice one! By the way, did you build another Nimeta after the first one had the accident?

[Nimeta]

@Mike: it was an Major repair.
From the first one we only used the
vertical fin,the Engine, the framework with the controls and the Winglets.
We Build an new fuselage and the Wings are from an eta- so 2 fuselage and 1 pair wing.

@ Eric: can you give me the weight of your elevator?
I think my elevator is a Little bit heavy-
So i think about Build an mold of it and Build
An new one with CFk.

Hi Antonia, Progress is slow at present. Gradually feeling better and I'm slowly getting my strength back. Still acquiring all those little bits and pieces that I keep finding I need to finish the 25.

Hi Christian, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you with the weight of the tailplane, mine weighs 198 grams.

Hi Simon, Bother, you'll be able to keep an eye on my progress now!

Best regards

Eric

I've just been doing some calculations for the up and go motor electrics and have found using Ecalc, that the AXI 4130/16 fitted with an Aeronaut 14x9 four bladed folding propeller will draw from the 7S battery arrangement, via 10 AWG cable, just on 60 amps which is the maximum allowable current for the motor.

If I go to 6S then there's not enough power to take off and with 8S there's a possibility of inadvertently burning out the motor if I let the current exceed 60 amps. However I will have telemetry to monitor the current being drawn by the motor and hopefully my co-pilot will keep an eye on that for me!

Originally I was going to use XT-60 connectors but after running Ecalc I have now decided to upgrade to EC5 and XT-90 connectors which are both good to 90 amps.

I have also learnt that using a 7S battery, that I will need to include an anti- spark arrangement to save any damage to the connectors or the very expensive ESC - however this is quite easy to achieve with a small link and momentary switch or I could use the ready-made XT-90 anti spark plug and socket arrangement.

Will do - Thanks for that useful piece of info Simon.

[Antonia]

Congratulations Christian, she sure looks beautiful. How did sls launch go? Was there any tendency for her to nose over until the elevator gained authority?

Hi Antonia,
I need 3 attempt.
The probleme was that the elevator deflection was too little,
the grass was weak and damp and my throttle conroll was extrem sensitiv.
So now i have gas curve and i think it works good.
Her some mnore pictures but no flying pictures availible.
regards Christian
