Bored on a Friday evening... FT Goblin build

[CarolineTyler]

I seem to have cut some foamboard

Such a tease...

 

[CarolineTyler]

Such a tease...

All cutting out done, all foam removals, creases and relevant paper removals done. It's half nine now and I'm tired.... No building till tomorrow

 

[CarolineTyler]

I'm no tease...

Coming along, minor pause whilst the 3D printer makes the firewall and control horns.

 

[CarolineTyler]

Finished...

And flown this afternoon - it was absolutely brilliant!!!!!

Some test footage from its second flight - Shout out to John, the resident test pilot!!!!

It was a wonderful flyer, making the nose with its double curved front was a pain!
John liked it so much I am now making one for him!!!

 

[quorneng]

That is truly excellent!

 

[CarolineTyler]

Thought I would weigh this bird.....352gms dry weight. 103 gms over what's listed on the plans. Damn that heavy foam.
Also put a 6x4 triblade prop on the motor and measured the power output. 123watts and 10.2amps which is just a tiny smidge over the rated 120watts and 10 amps for the 2205 baby beast V2 motor. This should unload a bit in flight I believe.

Now that's the true spirit of the hobby!

It flew so well, it earned its colours. Super speedy red on top and white and black on the bottom. I've ordered a custom vinyl "Goblin" text in white for the wing.

Should look something like this...

Now with Goblin graphic added for real! Rather proud of this one.
