Superbad's JR Forza 450 build

[Superbad]

Did a few mods to it today see if you can tell what was done

Before and after

[Graham Lawrie]

New tail and blades:)

[Superbad]

There were 5 things done

[Graham Lawrie]

Boom supports, servo rod:)

[Superbad]

Has the stock tail control rod for now got to make a trip to the LHS to pick up some stuff to build the new one
Als still have to move the ESC back under the battery tray

[Graham Lawrie]

Looking good Jesse:)

[Superbad]

Thanks Graham
They dont make a Carbon fiber Tail boom for the Forza 450 so I made my own HEHE

"Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius"

No carbon fiber boom available, so you solved the issue yourself. Nicely done, Jesse!!!

[Superbad]

The nice thing is it is stronger than the thin Stock aluminum boom . So one more less crash Item Im hoping
It also helped with the cog problem by putting some weight on the tail . The stock boom 16.5 grams the carbon boom is 24.2 grams and then the aluminum strut mount I add is 2.9 grams so gained about 10 grams on the tail
It is now tail heavy with the ESC on the side of the frame

[Lee]

Sweet.
Look forward to you thoughts on flying.

[pvolcko]

Some shrink tube on the skids?

[pvolcko]

What's the plug end hanging out there? Normal or did you add a governor sensor?

[Superbad]

Its fuel tubing on the skids
Yes that is the plug for the phase sensor I have not hooked it up yet just added that plug so it will be ready to go

[Superbad]

Ok been a while sense I have said anything on this Bird
I finely got to fly it and MAN this is one Sweet bird
On the maiden with the stock tail boom and tail blades It had a slow tail wag with the carbon fiber boom and the new tail blades that wag is gone with out changing anything in the set up
I put 3 packs on this thing and was singing it around like it was my 130x Just acting a fool It took everything I told it too and that is just in idle up1
at a flat 75%curve ungov. my ID2 is set at 90% but dont see a need for it tell I change out the pinion witch at 16.00 I think Ill hold off
I Know its harder on the ESC But I think If I hook up the GOV. in the K bar it should be ok
