Budget

Posted on by

The budget we have to start with is of £746.
With this we have to build at least one plane… and I think it would be a good idea to actually build two!
I think we should build a prototype before we start building the one that will fly on the actual competition day.

Power

First we should buy two engines + controllers from the BMFA.

  • Eflight 40amp speed controller £32.19 (rrp £72.00)
  • Eflight Power 10 motor £22.07 (rrp £49.00)
  • total: £54.28  (+ shipping?)
  • Order to be sent to <admin [at] bmfa.org> addressed to Julie Cole.
  • Props: 9×6 ??

Batteries

  • 2x 2500 3S Lipo

Building materials

Foam

I’ll look at good deals to by some EPP foam blocks. still needing to math out the volume and quality needed.

Balsa

Glue

  • Epoxy (slow + fast)
  • uhu foam glue

Carbon

  • 8x 10mm x 1m carbon tubes

Radio equipment

Servos

note: could be we can have a few standard size servos from the Thamesmead Model Club
