Hi Brian,

Wow that would be awesome..!!! please let me know how much is everything going to cost?,no hurry tho as i will have the money in about two weeks to order the kit and all the extra items as i don`t have a budget like i would like to have .

I would really like this bird as light as possible so i would really like the cf tube and socket if you don`t mind.Thanks for the heads up about the fuse tubes if you say that it will not be a big deal i believe you .

Yea the shipping will be in that ballpark but glad that you are able to ship it here with not much trouble.

That`s indeed an awesome looking EEV2 i hope he could make a video and give us a flight report of the maiden?.
I have watched the videos of the EEV2 on youtube and man it`s a great flying machine you really can tell that she`s a floater i`am very excited about this project.

Thanks again Brian for the help much appreciated..!!.

Greg.

Here's a picture of the EE raffle plane in ARF form. Just have to finish the ailerons by Saturday and it's ready to go.

Get your tickets (if you're not in person) before tomorrow night at midnight as I'll be at the field all day Saturday and won't be able to accept any more online tickets.

Thanks,

Brian

Grats go to D. Scott (a local club member) for winning the EE V2 plane. He, as an incredibly gracious act) then had the plane auctioned off and the proceeds given back to the club! What a stand up guy!

Can't wait to see this one in the air!

Check this out... PBAndy goes E-power on the EEV2! He still has prop stuff to work out as this prop was a gasser prop but it's looking real good!


Great job Andy and CFA for a great E-Power setup!

Rusty,

He's running a NEU 1515/2.5D/FAI gearbox motor with a CC 85HV controller and 2x 5S 4000 packs to make 10S. I'm not sure what the last prop was but I think it's a modified 20" APC E-power prop (not sure on the pitch). I flew it and the power is off the charts! Gotta love it

The prop is a 22X12 APCE cut down to 20" diameter and with some of the large "paddle" section cut off the TE of the blade. Great pull out for a prop with so much pitch to diameter.

yup, it still amazes me every time i hit the juice... and the new one has a tad more power to weight being a bit lighter.

it's really a 3D-able hotliner LOL!!!

Guys and Gals,
Had a couple guys that had to back out of purchasing their EEV2 kits for various reasons. So, I have two extra EEV2 kits available. These are normally only kitted based on sold/prepaid orders. But, I made an exception and now have kits to sell.

They are short kits (all CNC parts, about 95% of the plane) w/plans and AL landing gear: $165 plus $30 shipping (literally the cost for me). I've been doing this for fun...NO KIDDING.

These may be the last kits for a while depending on how work goes for me.

Thanks,

Brian
