Project Update
So I've been a bit busy this weekend working on the project.
I worked on the landing gear and it's structure.
one down in this picture, the cowl is making this... permant
Then I worked on the flaps, and reflex surfaces... I'm only going to say - Ug.
here's some pics, there are just a number of moving parts and pieces. not hard, just tedious. I'm not sure this will make it into the final - for-public-consumption-build-version... anyway enjoy.
Cutting the control tabs.
getting them ready from Popsicle stick and bbq skewer
gluing it in.
checking they are generally aligned.
setting up the reflex surface. I used bbq skewer and coffee skewer.
here the reflex in action
General Layout control decision:
I have connected the inner and outer outside flap. and I will be installing a servo each flap.
Have one servo for the inner elevator flaps by connecting them together. lastly have the wing tip flaps on a spring loaded thing so it only can be pushed out. these will track to one central servo. I will have on for bomb door/release, and one last one for fpv camera rotation.
I hope this helps. There's still so much to get done, but definitely good progress.
