CRASH TEST HOBBY Albatross 46 Ailerons

The 46" Albatross with ailerons is a great flying low speed 4 channel plane.  It has a new wing that is cut from a heavier foam.  Ailerons are already attached to the wing making it simple to build and fly and one of the toughest planes on the planet.  It is designed for the sport flyer who wants a durable more aggressive slow flying plane.  It is a great plane for FPV.  The airfoil used on both wings is amazingly efficient but still able to carry a load of FPV gear and a larger battery.

The pod raises the motor above the front of the wing and gets it off the nose of the plane. The  pod motor should be mounted so it is aimed parallel with the top of the fuselage but points at the LEFT front corner of the fuselage to compensate for prop torque.  The motor can still be mounted on the nose where it should point down and to the RIGHT for those who like the nose mount. 

The pod is a single light weight straight grain wood post that should be put in behind the front dowel for the wing.  The simplest way to install the pod is to poke a hole for the pod with a Phillips screwdriver and pushing the point of the square pod post down the hole.  We are only using a top and bottom screw on the 2812 motor to secure the motor to the pod.
