EZ Pint Jet A.1

AgentC submitted a new resource:

EZ Pint Jet - A 2-channel EZ plane, inspired by the Pun Jet

An EZ sized version of the FT Pun Jet, obviously a much simpler design!

At roughly 40g, this will take both v1 and v2 power packs.

Great little plane! I just put one together. I'm waiting for another EZ pack for it. I was surprised at how well it glides without the power pack.

Any pics of the best way to route wires and install the FC?

Nice!!!

Installing the EZ Pack:
Attach the motors first, get the wires into the fuselage (if the wing and fuselage are already glued together, you could route then via the canopy or else just make tiny holes in the fuselage for them to fit through.

Then connect them to the EZ Control Board.

I kept the board attached to the Freighter plate/panel and glued that in at the bottom of the fuselage (the cut lines marked in green on the plans).


The board then sits snugly in the gap in the wing. If you're adding LEDs, I'd attach them onto the wings, feed the wires through and connect them to the board at the same time-frame as the motors are installed.

She spent a few weeks basking in the sun/wind/rain on a neighbour's roof until I finally was able to get her down today.
Canopy needs to be repaired (retaped) and one of the winglets needs to be re-glued.
Otherwise she still flies!

I tried making this hut I haven't flown it yet because I think I have the props on backwards. When I put the throttle up I feel the air being pushed forwards and not behind the plane. I wanted to make sure I was correct or what I need to change because the props are a pain to take off; any tools or ways I can get them off without hurting my fingers?

 

[AgentC]

So you're going to have to switch the props, as well as inserting them the other way around (A goes into blue, with the A facing the front of the plane, and B goes into Red, with the B facing the front).

Removing and reinserting the props with your fingers is possible, but it does take a bit of finger-pressure on the first go. It helps if you have strong nails... Otherwise, carefully remove them with needle-nose pliers.

You only need to switch the props, keeping the flat part where the motor shaft goes in facing forward, and round part facing rearward.
