Nucking Futs - Speed 400 Pylon Racer - RC plane

thingiverse

This is a well-detailed guide for building an RC plane, specifically a Speed 400 model. Here's a breakdown of the components and electronics required: ### Wooden Firewall or Inrunner Motor Mount * Suitable for glueing a wooden firewall or directly mounting a 28 mm inrunner motor. ### Nose Section (Cox049) * For mounting a Cox 049 engine directly to the front. * High strength when printed with two perimeter walls and 100% infill for the first 10 mm. ### Electronics * **Tiny Receiver:** Required for receiving signals from your transmitter. * **Aileron Servos:** * Recommended servos are the Turnigy TM-TGY D56MG Coreless DS MG HV Servo (1.2kg / 0.10sec / 5.6g) or alternatives like the JX Servo DHV56MG (5.6g, DS, Digital, Coreless, MG, Metal Gear, HV, Servo, 1.2kg, 0.10sec). * **Elevator Servo:** * Recommended servos are the Corona DS-843MG Digital High Torque Micro Servo (4.8kg / 0.10sec / 8.5g) or alternatives like the JX PDI-1109MG (9g, Metal Gear, Core Motor, Micro, Digital, Servo for 450 RC Helicopter). * **30 mm Spinner and Prop:** * Recommended propeller is the Graupner Cam Folding Prop (6.3/2.3mm, Speed 400). * **Speed 400 Brushed Motor with a 5x5" Propeller and Brushed ESC:** * Suitable motors are the Mabuchi RS380SH for 3S lipos or the RS380PH for 2S lipos. * Recommended propeller is the KMP 4545 (4.54/5 High Efficiency Propeller Blade for RC Airplane). * **30A Brushless ESC:** * Recommended ESCs are the HW30A RC Model Airplane/Helicopter Speed Control (4A UBEC, Brushless ESC XP) or alternatives like the XXD Wholesale HW30A 30A Brushless Motor ESC for Airplane/Quadcopter. ### Additional Recommendations * For a brushless motor, a suitable option is the Emax CW-CCW RS2205 2300KV 2600KV Brushless Motor (for FPV QuadCopter Racing Motor).
