ABC STEM Trifecta Group Build

[Grifflyer]

I've got the wing built, I didn't really change much other than adding a little bit of a CF to the spar and removing some cutouts I won't need.

Here is a vid you guys can pull some ideas from, copy cheat and steal! Enjoy:

Lol - turning out bigger than I was expecting... soonest I’ll be able to maiden it weather wise is Wednesday.

Man that looks like a tight build. I think it's your best looking one yet.

 

[The Hangar]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I modded it to accommodate a swappable power pod...

Thanks!

Is it a standard pod that slides in the back under the wing, then you install the prop?

Yes

You all have been going at it at 100% throttle no looking back and I haven't even started, well technically I have I pulled out the long term plans that I have in order to find time to start building .

 

[The Hangar]

Here is a picture of my bravo and “scout” side by side. It’s kinda dark but you can see how big the bravo is. The “scout” wing is roughly the same sise as a stock scout wing other than extending the wingtips slightly.

She’s ready for the maiden! Stuck one of my transmitters (dx6i) in for a size comparison - it’s a big bird for sure!

That looks extremely nice! I'll be ordering my Charlie kit within the next couple days.

I forgot to post here, I finished the A-22.

I can't wait to maiden this one. She should rip!

Looks really good .

If you want to add to the fun factor cut in ailerons and hook them up to your existing servos

That would double his maneuverability wouldn’t it? Would double the roll rate?

Roll and pitch , but careful on hard quick banking you can stall it pretty quick

 

[Wildthing]

Or just add ailerons and 2 more servos so ailerons are just for roll and leave the elevator as elevons Most of my prop slots are done that way that way you can bank and yank at full speed and not get that stall feeling.

 

[BATTLEAXE]

Ailerons you say huh... . That does sound like a fun idea. I know that my last couple versions that given the throws they had, they would almost stall out it I wasn't watching, just lose so much speed on hard turns. If I used other servos to hook up just ailerons, how would I wire those up so I could put it on a on/off switch.

I bet if I directly hooked them up to the existing servos and they acted as elevons, a cobra maneuver would be possible. This idea opens up a bunch of possibilities...

Now you got me thinking

If hooked up to the same servo it is fun but hard turns and banking it will stall easier because it is almost like putting your brakes on, but still fun.

Now because I am lazy when it comes to mixing I will use the V Tail mixer for the elevons (on mine the standard 2 channels 1 & 2)

Then when I run ailerons with the extra 2 servos and leave the elevons alone I mix in channel 6 , Y the 2 aileron servos together and that's where they go and then also you can add a on off switch to it.

Remember you can always adjust the throws down or add more expo and keep extra in the bag just in case.
