Hai-Lee
Old and Bold RC PILOT
I have a number od 3D aircraft including my latest addition a HK Mini Saturn which was gifted to me.
Whilst I do like the concept my thumbs are really old and hard to educate even though my brain knows all of the theory. Yes I manage to crash one from time to time still!
Anyway I was cruising through my library of FB designs and realised that I have not designed a profile 3D model as yet so this is my first attempt to come up with a working design.
Parameters/features. (Updated as the build progresses)
Wing Span: 800mm
Overall length: 800mm
All up weight:
Flight endurance in hover:
Motor/ESC/Prop:
Goals: Use FB for as much of the structure as possible without adding too much or any reinforcing.
No powerpod setup and therefore definitely not a swappable design.
Servos 3.7 or 5 gram - 3 of
Step one I have started collecting the largest offcut pieces of 5mm FB that I have, (Both new pieces and old pieces which have paper peeling or other surface imperfections).
This will be a spare time project so it will progress slowly especially where i strike an issue where the solution is not to my immediate liking.
Feel free to jump in with suggestions or questions!
Have fun!
