Electrifying ZagNutz

The prototype ZagNutz went from glider to electric in about 1 day.  A foam mount was made to hold the motor and it was hot glued (what else?) and zip tied in place.  More slicing allowed for the 7 cell pack in the nose and the RX and ESC were moved to the rear.  It was all taped up, CG checked and a dinky little 5 X 5 prop was put on.

After several false starts and crashes, she finally got airborne and the fun began!  Fast and very maneuverable it was handful to say the least.  I ended up fiddling with the C of G (forward) and she settled down quite a bit.

Just a few "electric" details to fill in on….. The motor should be mounted with just a little thrust differential like in the picture below…..

All manner of reinforcement has been tried.  The coro and a some hardwood glued to the bottom surface seems to work just fine.  If something gives way, then just re-glue it with hot glue or epoxy.  The angle is exaggerated a bit, but just make sure it doesn't point the OTHER way or you'll be disappointed in the climbing ability of your Nutz

Have we got a deal for you!  Try this CorroHatch ™ on your next ZagNutz and change batteries in just seconds compared to all the fiddling and taping you have to do otherwise!

You should be done now… go fly.. .have fun!
