Foamy Rc Electric Trainer Plane, Building and Testing Part 2
Dmerc00 (Dave) and son (Jon) take the Trainer plane to a high altitude release of the glider in part 2 of video series. This time the plane is modified with a new tail horizontal stabilizer and a mod on the glider release as well.
Mini Magnum Reloaded - the small version of the Magnum Reloaded.
Weight with 120mah 2S battery is 53 grams.
I use either the E-flite or HK Nanotech 120mah batteries.
CG is about at the main wing spar or a hair behind it.
Also I have to put the battery leads behind the wind shield above the cockpit or it will be too nose heavy.
Plane: Mini-Magnum reloaded Blue/Yellow 24.95

The plane is then taken to the field for several test flights and modifications
including changing CG, center of gravity, and adding a glider launch assembly under the fuselage. More to come on the glider launch later.

Once the quad was built Jon decided to implement the battery alarm and we tested this function at the field. The beeping got more rapid as the voltage got closer to the alarm voltage level he had set in the KK2 configuration.
