Avíos Super Tucano from HobbyKing

Описание: Got one of the first Super Tucanos out there but not beeing used to foamies of this type I did some mods and added some stuff before first takeoff:
-Added 5 layers of water based Polyurethane
-brushed all bare foam with thin Epoxy
-Installed 900mAh Li-Ion backup receiver battery
-Added a layer of Cold Weld over the nose gear box and also added support as recommended and filled worm gear drives of landing gears with grease.
-replaced alen wing bolts with thumb bolts.
-replaced landing gear compression springs with 5.5mm diameter and 0.8mm wire diameter springs.
added a set of wing bags, stabilizer protectors and canopy protector.
-Lifted electric distribution board by 1 1/2” which makes plug in of wing harness much easier.
-added satelite receiver for redundancy plus altimeter for automatic landing gear retract and cel voltage meter.
-painted the under side of the outer wings black for better visibility.
-for endurance testing I installed 15x6 and 15x9 AeroNaut props with best flight times of 16 minutes using 6500mAh Lipo packs.
Have flown the Tucano in winds over 20mph and no issues.
The bird flies surprisingly well, let’s see how it will last.

Special thanks to Wilfredo behind the lens!
