Fly your umx spacewalker!I'M GOING MAD INSIDE! I haven't flown anything in a couple weeks now and I've fixed all my broken planes so there's nothing left to do now. I've got the shakes

I just had that idea so I went to find it. The propeller gear got stripped out at some point. Damn...Fly your umx spacewalker!
That’s a bummer! It shouldn’t be an expensive part though - probably $5I just had that idea so I went to find it. The propeller gear got stripped out at some point. Damn...
Shoot! Typical Indiana weather though...
BTW how was your visit to Washington? Was the weather nicer?I think I need to just move already...
I ended up not going. Whole trip got corona'd. RipBTW how was your visit to Washington? Was the weather nicer?
Bummer. Our trip got corona'd as well...I ended up not going. Whole trip got corona'd. Rip
Will you be coming to Indiana this summer?
Haha, true...Not really much loss if the weather sticks to its current trend
That thing is super cool!my ADHD knows no bounds. i have too many projects on the table and instead of working on them i decide to design and build a custom wing. oh ya, and i'm using a twin motor setup, with a PDB that has never worked for me before. perfect use of time...
so first thing was figuring out the motors, so i built a test platform and arrange props so thrust pushed into the table. issue was one would spin up @ 50% while the other at 100%. solved that problem but then they only worked at 50% throttle and above. a phone call and a throttle curve later and we had it figured out. both motors now spin equally and both respond correctly to the differential thrust from 0-100% throttle. what a pain...

a quick lay out of wing without the airfoil or vert stabs.

final came in @ 148g AUW using 2x emax 1106-6000kv w/ 3035 3-blade, 2x 12A bullet opto ESC, and emax PDB using a 3S-460mah.

CG is very close, probably tail heavy but we will try. when this one crashes and the next gets built the servos will move forward to help with the CG.
for a 1 day build that weighs 148g but has 360g of thrust i'm pretty tickled. we will see tomorrow when it maidens. i'm hoping for some epic pancake spins. these motors for being so small are terrifying.

Haha, sounds just like me...my ADHD knows no bounds. i have too many projects on the table and instead of working on them i decide to design and build a custom wing.

I like it!Not really RC, but I stitched up a prototype for a flying helmet today. Eventually I'll sew this up in some glove leather and figure out a lining. Chamois, wool felt, and quilted fabric linings were traditional for the warm-weather helmets. Straps etc will follow that.
