Bloody Wonder MkIII - Build

[SP0NZ]

3d printed servo mounts?

Yes they are, but not my design. You can get those here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:533596. I like them, but I think I may redesign them to install a little easier.

As far as the plane though, I was referring to differences with the design of the the foam parts.

The wing folds diffrent? Has less score cuts!

FYI, for everyone else this is the David who's did the coro v-tail version that inspired me to start working on the next version of the Bloody Wonder.

David, if you can, you should post a few pics of your coro version.

It might be hard to tell from the pictures I've posted so far, but I have extended the nose and eliminated the c-fold on the front. I'm hoping that making the nose longer will allow the battery to move back more toward the CG. I'm planning on some custom 3D printed parts (firewall, battery tray) and possibly closing off the bottom and adding a battery hatch.

What would you like to see in the next version of the Bloody Wonder?

 

[David Benjamin]

Will do so...

V tail coro

Hope I'm diong this right and u will see the pic's

I saw that the nose is a bit longer. And I'm glad u did do that one thing I did forgot to say is that when I hand launch mine for the maiden it did go up I had to do a bit of down trim.

Any further progress?

Hopefully Dan will fly the one he build next weekend. He is still making a few tweaks to the plans.

David, how did you set up the receiver/mixing with the four servos? I have the dx6 which I know can do v-tail mixing, I think plugging one into elevator and one into aileron. I see you also have aileron servos and not sure how to set those up?

 

[SP0NZ]

Any further progress?

A little. Here you can see the amount I increased the nose length compared to the MkIII. I think I may have added too many variables to this equation, but I'm hoping for another "happy accident" here.

Well I've been wanting to try a vtail so I went for it. I made the nose about an inch longer and choose the size of the tail fins based on TLAR. Went without ailerons to start. Very quick build. I use a shortened power pod so fitting everything with a 1300 3s was super easy. I also did not extend the doublers all the way back to keep the tail lite.

Well between my dumb thumbs and the wind, not a good morning. Plane only wanted to turn in one direction so I figure something was off with the vtail angle. I'll wait for SPONZ to put out plans and try again.

Applaud your effort to get out there and try something on your own man! That's what puts the "TEST" in Flite Test. Mine might end up being a dud too, who knows? But, we never know until we try right.

U need to go to settings on the tx and set it up for V tail. U will pluck one in the elevator and the other in the rudder and the rx.

The angel of the V tail needs to be right if its to close it will not work if it is to far apart it will not work...I were just lucky...
