Modified Hacker - "HotWing 750"

This was part of one of those "Job Lots" which often tempts one.
The guy had started the model, fitted the motor mount, servos, control surfaces & carved out the cavities
in the wing for the e.s.c. , receiver & battery.
It quickly became apparent that with the motor I intended using it would require a lot of lead up front
to get the correct C of G.
So the decision was made to fill in the cavities and add a "fuselage" with a shortish nose to balance without
any lead.
See 3 pics below - more pics to follow.

Nice job Colin! Do you think you will be able to catch my Superwing though?

Now the interesting bit - maiden flight - 4th December 2018.
After some rapid trim clicking all was well.
Thanks to Simon Osborne - great launch, Tim Sullings - in-flight pictures.
Model Data -
Motor - HK - BL 2212/6 , 2,200kv, : ESC -BRC Hobbies 33A : Prop APC 7x3 : Battery - 3s - 1,500 LiPo. :
Wingspan 750mm : Weight - 366g ( 14 ozs ) : Power 310 Watts : Watts per Ib = 350.0 , Wing Loading 6.8 ozs per sq ft.
Apologies for mixture of units.
The model climbs vertically and on full throttle in level flight I can just about keep up with her, with the
low wing loading landing is at a slow walking pace.
Conclusion - Great little one piece fun model, the extra weight not being a problem and a benefit for flying
at Cashmoor.
