Rolls on Bipes are fun aren't they, There is no such thing as being greedy, it's just an excuse to rebuild and fix, room for improvements
Mini Mamba 3D Biplane

Yeah! Not going to build another Mamba for a little while. I'm going to transfer the servos to the EAF edge. Funny thing is one servo "stripped" from the crash, but even the prop survived. It works OK, but stutters under load in one direction. It'll join the ranks of bomb drop/cargo door servos

If you make the servo turn in the "stripped" direction the clicking sounds like a machine gun, I did this on a mini mustang a couple years ago.Yeah!

Lol, I was so tiny back then

That's awesome! That's worth stripping a new servo, just for the sound effect!
Is it possible for you to post a pic of the gears in the servo, so I can duplicate it? I want to put one in my A-10.
You don’t have any stripped servos lying around?

Sure I'll try, I might just draw up a image of what it looks like incase my camera doesn't pick it up.
LOL! No. All my servo's are in planes, except for my 1/8th scale buggy servo's, but they're way too big, and metal gear. The only stripped servo's I had came out of a Night Radian FT, and I clipped off the wires and tossed 'em, straight away.
The reason I ask is, any servo I ever stripped just clicked in one spot, not like in your video. So, I'm not sure which missing tooth, on which gear will produce the same cool sound. I just don't want to guess at it.

I don't know which gear stripped out, but it only made the clicking sound in one direction so I set it up on a switch to get it to turn into the plastic gift card. The servo on the right is the stipped one.

It was too windy on Sunday to try to fly the plane, so here is my maiden before I came to work today. Second video is the landing.

Nice maiden man, you killed it on the design and in the flight. Nice job
Woohoo - that was great!

Thanks Guys. I wanted to get the maiden in before more bad weather hits. Plus i will be busy with the holiday weekend and I am going to Mexico next week. I spent the first minute and a half trying to get it trimmed descent and tried a few things. It spins like crazy on high rates. i need to put a few packs threw it and see what I can get figured out. I used a 9x4.7 prop because I broke my 10x3.8 on the maiden of the last one. With such a big fuse the smaller prop didn't seem to have the snap of the 10 incher. I will order another one and see how it does.

I know nothing!
Congratulations! Beautiful maiden flight. It's pretty insane on high rates. Looks like a blast to fly!

Looks like an Amazing stunt plane. Nice flight.

I have updated the plans on the first post to correct a couple small errors and add the optional landing gear parts .
@chris398mx Just curious if you're still planning on making a 42 inch wingspan mamba. I am kinda obsessed with 3D as of late and hope to get the Flex mamba next month and I just picked up the umx beast - basically a umx mamba, so I'm kinda itching for another foam board mamba. However I kinda want my next one to have a lighter wing loading so it's better at the low-n-slow. I'm hoping to use my rimfire motor on 3s with a 11 or 12 inch prop and Ideally keep the weight down super low so a lot of peeling of paper and maybe some gorilla glue as well. I'll scale up the plans and deal with the molded foam skins not fitting cause of the upscale as I go, but if you're still planning on making a larger version, I'll wait and build it off of your plans.

I would like to sooner than later, but as you know how it goes........ I have a list of projects to get done before this one. Willy Nillies Hummer, Hanger 9 Valiant ARF with a Saito 91 four stroke, Sig Astro Hog , and I need to repair two other balsa planes all before summer gets here....LOL I will never make it. Oh yea, I for got as soon as the Hummer is done, I have to build your ultra stick for my son to learn on. So I guess you will have to scale the plans I already made. I am sorry I cant help out sooner, but I know you understand the madness that is this hobby. Good luck and please post your progress, I will be watching with interest.
