Well I finally completed and maiden the MegaJet II this past weekend. It was rigged out just like the original MegaJet. I used a HobbyPartz Monster 15 motor (950KV), 60 amp Volcano ESC, 2200 mah 4S BlueLipo with a 10X3.8 prop. While it had enough thrust for verticle take offs, it could use some additional speed. Planning on dropping down to a 9 inch prop with a 5 or 6 pitch for the next launch. It currently pulls just short of 40 amps on the 10" prop giving it an output of 550 watts. That is just 2 amps short of the rated maximum for this motor.
Kept the first 5 flights mainly level with the occasional roll. Jet has plenty of up and down using the current elevon configuration but lacks a little in the roll department. Next build I will either seperate the functions or possibly add ailerons onto the existing servos.
Bad weather on Sunday left it and it's smaller counterparts in the hangar. You can see maiden in the attached 5 minute video.
