Multiplex Merlin OR Multiplex Electric

Whats the "Multiplex Electric"?

[giskard]

Maybe means EasyGlider Electric? If so then it would be easier to fly than the Merlin. I'd go for the "pro" EasyGlider though with a brushless setup as it'll be more efficient.

Flown it this weekend!

saturday - fine weather 32 degrees C no wind what so ever, flew great. i am a first time flyer, it was my first throw taking off, and landing. Turningy speed controller motor beak doesnt work again after 5 miniuts of flight though. first one i got stoped working in the living room when setting up. (need a new one). Great day topped off with beers and burger in the pub afterwards.

sunday - windy weather 25 degrees C, motors not efficient enough, plane thrown and goes back even with full power on motor, brought down with a heavy landing. bit inside that holds the motor forward broken,(easy fix bit of glue and balsa to strengthen it, easy). canopy came off. front bit that sits above the motor split/snaped (damn) hot glue will do this fine. rudder, EP foam hindge bit snaped and hindge at bottom came out, aw well. glue and maybe another hindge to fix. so all easy fixes, lucky though. i will be buying a more powerful Brushless motor and speed controller.

Buddy Box warning! if your guy next to you with the main controller is letting you land, make shure he turns his motor off on his controller straight after you do. because the motor can not spin around and starts smoking and gets very very hot. half melts the EP foam, (its noting but i wouldnt like anymore EP foam to melt) cant see under the motor, must be melted a lot under there too.

any questions just ask.!
