RC Models for UNDER £50 / $65 - Teksumo Flying Wing - Part #2

Welcome to part 2 of the RC models YOU can buy for UNDER £50/$65 USD. In this episode you'll meet the Teksumo flying wing. These things are #AmazeBalls fun! The FULL SETUP details are below, press SHOW MORE to see them. 3S Turnigy Teksumo Setup: ----------------------------------------- This is my base setup after trying lots of different motor & prop combinations, this setup for 3S works out well for flight time & power on tap! My Teksumo's have been modified with several extra carbon fiber spars in them to strengthen them up, a good idea considering how much abuse I give mine. Also it's sensible to strengthen any model that is going to go way faster than originally intended. The carbon fiber rods that I use are these ones https://goo.gl/DMV2T1 which are 2mm thick and 50cm long (just over 19"). MODEL: Turnigy Teksumo Wing (modified) - http://goo.gl/gwXjhD SERVOS: The Corona DS-238MG (which has 4Kg of torque!) transformed this model http://goo.gl/zAA4cO OR you can use the TowerPro MG90S servos here https://goo.gl/7TVsaV instead. Note: You can use plastic geared servos, but expect them to self-destruct with the more powerful motor & propeller combination! MOTOR: The Turnigy D3536 1450Kv is my go to powerhouse for my Teksumo's which can be bought here http://goo.gl/D7ys5X or here https://goo.gl/InIf8h PROPELLER: For the 3S setup I use a 9x6 APC propeller https://goo.gl/6rBF1c ESC: The propeller + motor combination causes a LOT of current to be drawn, so anything less than an a 80A is not suggested, I use the 100A Turnigy Plush https://goo.gl/eOOejI BATTERY: You'll need the extra nose weight & higher battery capacity, I use a 2200mAh Turnigy 65C 3S but any 3S 2200mAh battery should be OK. RECEIVER: I'm using FrSky with a Taranis, these are cheap & work very well V8R4-II http://goo.gl/QxlMMu TRANSMITTER: By far the best transmitter on the market, the Taranis Plus http://goo.gl/pqaeAc or if on a budget the FlySky FS-i6 here https://goo.gl/Lvx6yd is amazing value for the money ELEVON MOVEMENT To the MAX! (they're like air brakes lol). Seriously I run my servos on 150% movement, but do expect hyper-stalls to happen, so keep yours to 100 or less! 4S Turnigy Teksumo Setup: ----------------------------------------- My 4S Teksumo setup is exactly the same as the 3S setup, but with a smaller propeller and a 4S battery instead. PROPELLER: 8x6 APC https://goo.gl/BN2GWL BATTERY: You'll need the extra nose weight & higher battery capacity, I use a 2200mAh Turnigy 4S but any 4S 2200mAh battery should be OK. FPV Setup ----------------------------------------- The Teksumo because of it's docile flight characteristics and normal cruising speed makes a great FPV platform. If budget is a concern for you, then something as simple as the Eachine MC01 All in one camera is a good choice, I cover it in detail in this episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLc9sQTh_Yo and it can be bought here https://goo.gl/w58gMK However personally I prefer a RunCam Swift (amazing image quality) I bought here http://goo.gl/rHhNw1 and using a video transmitter like this one http://goo.gl/3nXxLW If you mount these to a small piece of balsa or plywood, you can velcro them to any model you like. Oh and antennas, but decent ones. I use both these http://goo.gl/Ro6YeO and these are cheaper https://goo.gl/yyD5ZJ (both work very well!).
