Mini Drake Flying Boat

Got this from Hobby King... comes in a flat pack, gonna have to really glue it up old school!

RCG Thread
Manual




Based on the original 1951 Drake.

Recommended bits:
    AeroLite or MicroLite
    Micro Control Horns
    Linkage Connectors
    1811-2900 Motor
    MultiStar 10A ESC (pre-BL Heli) (6A would be fine too)


Random RCG notes:

  • use two (2) #16 rubber bands to hold my wing on.
  • The CG per instructions is on the main spar for the wing. It should balance there when placed on your fingertips. 
  • Construction Notes
