Ion 1950's Futuristic Flying Wing - Pt8: Radio Gear & Hatches - By O.F.W. (Peter) Fisher

The Ion Mk 20 is a great looking flying wing from 1957, designed by O.F.W. Fisher and English designer and owner of Performance Kits. He was often known as Peter Fisher. The Ion has a 33" wingspan and was originally a free flight model powered by a Frog 80 diesel engine, however in this build it will be converted to 2 channel RC. The original design had elevons, used to give some reflex to the wing and they could be used to adjust the trim. In this build series these elevons will be servor controlled.
The plans for this build are available from Derick Scott at www.model-plans.co.uk/perform...
The link will takes you directly to where the plan listed, but you need to email the owner of the website, see details on the homepage, to get the plan. He provides a very good service.

Hahahaha, that sounds good, not finalises the design you, have to get my thinking head on and see what tissue I have!

Well you're nearly there. Very nice work as usual and can't wait for the maden. Going through my workshop this week I found quite a few 7.5cc and 10cc tanks from when I did a bit of CL team race. See you on the next. 👍

How can the Flysky FS-iA6 receiver work with a 3.7 V 1s LiPo? The voltage range of the receiver is specified as 4.0-6.5V. Will the 1s LiPos only utilize the receiver's voltage range of 4.2 to 4.0 volts after they have been fully charged or will the FS-iA6 receiver also work with a voltage below 4.0 V?

[@MarkRobinson555]

The receivers will work at voltages below 4v, but there is very little current draw so battery can be used mainly in the 4-4.2 range, and just replace the battery after a few flights. Not sure what the final battery will be yet
