hi guys just thought id share a few pics of one of my current projects......tell me what you all think : )

 

[Brian fred carr]

looks cool and fast...what power system you thinking of....nice build ..congrats

 

[earthsciteach]

Nice job! Do you have a tiny Clint Eastwood to pilot it?

Is the fuse solid foam or foam wrapped around bulkheads?

 

[iceracer300]

wow, how big is it?

 

[wind1234]

its 4 ft long 3 ft wide made with fan fold blue foam it started off like a profile plane then i made bulkheads the skined it in foam then 1 3/2 balsa sheet.....im not sure how scale it is just kinda going from pictures tryin to keep it light as possible right now its at (570 g. or 1 lb 4 oz.) dry weight nothing installed....im not sure on the power system yet .....it first started out as i was going to use my 2 64mm powerplant out of my dynam a10 but after doing a quick thrust test i was only getting 10 oz. of thrust per fan..i thinks its only a 330 watt system....so i scraped that idea and ordered a couple other sets of fans to see what i can get out of them (77mm and 89mm) i got a couple sets of motors for each a (420 watt set and a 1300 watt set)and a medly of batteries i still might need to order another battery with a high c rating for the 1300 watt setup.....but the project is on hold till i get my fans from hk for size reference cause i will have to install them before i finsh skinning the bottom of the plane : )

OMG! That's huge!

If you overcome the unit conversion problem, they should fit LOL

Awesome plane deserves an awesome paint job

 

[wind1234]

yes deffinatly need to do something cool with the paint.......been thinking of doing something like a futuristic police plane (black/white) with working red and blue strobes : )

Great! Don't crash it until you have painted it!

 

[ananas1301]

Sounds awesome! I like the futuristic part of it. Kinda IRobot like

 

[wind1234]

a pic of my 77mm fan fianly came today still waiting on my 89mm to see if i can cram them in there : )

 

[wind1234]

this is the motor and esc for the 89mm fan (100 amp esc's and 1850 kv motors) i bet these puppies will put out some thrust : )

 

[wind1234]

just got done checking the balance on the 77mm fans and they are right on the money : ) they are the haoye fans from hk highly recomend for like 17 bucks a peice...wish i had my motors to put in them i ordered the exceed motors from hobbyparts for like 13 dollars a peice i hope they work out ok : ) i got a 3s 4s and 5s battery to do my fan testing when everything gets in...i got watt meters and rpm meter to get some real numbers and see whats really going on power wise...cant wait to get back into the build full force ..thanks for looking guys

WOW! That's some big power!
