Indoor Plane -- Small and Light Plane with Brushless Power

[GleM]

I wanted a small indoor plane made of EPP, with ailerons, easy to transport, and with a brushless motor.

I found a small EPP kit and bought other parts from various sellers.

Sakura Kit 417mm Wingspan
Eachine 1104 4000KV 2S Brushless Motor used in small quads
Special prop adapter to mount prop using o-ring
Prop 5030
E-Flite 200 mAh 7.4v LIPO
2.5g digital servos (not linear servos)
Small 6A ESC
FrSky v8r4-ii small receiver

62.7g with battery.

I made the motor mount using the thinnest plywood I could find.
I had to reprogram the ESC for the motor to start reliably.
I had to make my own cable to charge the battery (only one JST-PH connector) using a standard LIPO charger
No Landing gear for now. Will hand launch.
Carbon stripe on bottom for landings

Looking forward to a maiden flight tonight!

Looking great! Did you, by any chance, record that flight (https://cargolution.com/en/transport/)? I'd love to see it.
