Introduction:

Continuing testing motors on the same frame design with 2204 motors. 540mm

Components:

  • Dollar tree foam board
  • DSM receiver
  • 2x sg90 servos
  • Furibee 30a ESC
  • 5v 2a bec x2
  • King kong 2204 2300kv motor with 5" carbon fiber prop

Conclusion:

The dry weight came to 145g. The only difference in the frame design is the increase in airfoil thickness to increase lift. With smaller wings like this, it becomes increasingly difficult to land as weight increases.

Update 3/28/20 - The power is there, but I think it may benefit from a different prop (maybe a tri for less noise or a bullnose for more power?). It's harder to control than the others, but I'm not feeling the benefit of the extra power yet unless I can get a different prop on there. Launches are also more difficult.
