So the update, the jet is finally working great with the modifications , the best mode is to make the internally connected flaps with the horns glued to the upper under flap skin this definitely has better symmetry and make the flaps much stronger than the original setup, so maybe when you building a new voyager do the surface supports and the flaps with internal linkage.

Did the maiden flight on my Voyager today. Just curious, did anyone have an issue with the main wheels that came with their Voyager? I notice the left main wheel on my plane does not rotate freely. Initially thought that the bearing were bad, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Hi
I strongly recommend the improvement mentioned in #139.
Also check that you reach the needed movement of the controls by the servo travel of 100%.
Be carefully by the wingtips they can be damaged easily during handling and transportation.

So I have a set of Savox SV-1270tg that are pretty comparable to the 1230’s. I will run those. I have a Smoothflight ARXL for control and a SW220b for power. I ordered a digitech UAT and some batteries so I should be pretty well set. Still debating on a set of lights and smoke system.
I am planning on doing the carbon tube set from gator RC unless there is a reason not to.
anyone got a line on wing bags?
what length servo horns give the best results?

I have wing bags that fit the wings perfect and the tube, I think that they made by redwings will check them tomorrow, make sure that you have at least 3/32” gap between the surfaces and the wing tips I have a problems with that and make the flaps pushrods internally don’t even try to make them the manufacturer way this almost cost me a new jet, end up lending with one flap halfway stuck on a short field, just got the new pipe today so I’ll will post some replacement pictures.

That looks great!! The 300 size engine is interesting to me. I have a sa 220b from an other jet that I sold. Im going to try that first. If I’m not happy, I’ll upgrade later.
I ended up ordering a set of Revoc wing and stab bags for it last night. The are pricy, but I think worth it for this one.

Hi,
- Savox 2290 (50kg) on rudder / flaps and savox 1270 (35kg) on the rest.
- I use a 5l fuelbag (150gr) so no uat needed.
- Ar smoothflite 16 with jeti REX3, Rsat 2.4 and Rsat 900.
- Electron retracts with GS200.
- Zavonix afterburner.
- 2 unilight bars on each wing and unilight 30mm spot in the nose with cooler with a 2 channel controller.
- Regarding the turbine, I haven't decided yet but will probably go for a kingtech k235.
- one 3s 3800mah life from kingtech for the turbine and two 2s lion 6400mah batteries from ar boomarc for the receiver/whole system.
- 16pin wing connectors from rc struik and mr30 connectors on stabs/ rudder.
- All carbone bars.
- Aluminium wing, stab bags from revoc.
- Savox 2290 (50kg) on rudder / flaps and savox 1270 (35kg) on the rest.

Decided to up my game a little. I went with Brushless servos. 2290SG on flaps and rudder as suggested above and 2270SG for the rest. I'm still going to stick with my 3200 Lion receiver batteries. I will probably run something similar size for ECU. Now to decide on lights and smoke.

Wingtube Alu is around 985 grams
The 40mm carbon is 590 gram (at 2meters long and has to be cut to correct lenght)
So (for now) I guess around 500grams less weight due to carbon tubes all around

Voyager Lazy Afternoon Flight
Hey guys,
I was out at the field the first time with the Voyager in 2022 last monday with the new Swiwin SW240B installed. Flies amazing!
Here is a video of the first flight of the 2022 season:
All the best from Austria
