Re: [Paparazzi-devel] FunJet Updates

[gwen hastings]

Hi Matt,
  the hot setup  and for max lightness appears to be the 300-500w Micro 
Dan 2505 Speed and you get ahold of Micro Dan for a custom wind at 
rcgroups.com. 32 grams(also search or the microdan and funjet thread at 
rcgroups..)
the Justgofly 500T and TH weigh in at 68g with the same power potential 
and same price.. 59.95.

the 35g or so saved means more payload capacity.. or battery capacity or 
less wing loading and better low speed performance. depending on whether 
the weight savings are kept or the weight saved repurposed.

on the other end are the ebay chinese brushless motors..(which I will 
use in the moviestart where weight is not quite so critical..
also have heard that fiberglassing the funjet reduces the floatability 
because of increased wing loading)

ps just found the crystal for the unpotted berg4 dspII I have in the 
shag carpet. :) btw after careful deliberation I am going to ask for a 
medium hot wind of 400W(depending on prop used) and have been looking at 
variable pitch props(at 69.95) and this: :)
