Hello again,
I've mentioned this in passing over the last week or so, but I've started a little fam-damnly project. Here's what I've got going so far,
Kiddos (2) White FT Sparrows (100%) 1806 Hubsan 1650KV, Propell 5030 tri-blades, V-tail, Parkzone 27mhz 3 ch
Old Lady (1) Black FT Sparrow (110%), Racerstar 2212 1100kv Dynam 8x6 tri-blade, V-tail, Parkzone 72mhz 5 ch
Mine (1) Black FT Sparrow (Sparrow Hawk) (120%), Unknown stock multirotor 2213 950kv, Dynam 9x5 tri-blade, V-tail, Ailerons, Flysky fs-i6x
The only real mods I've done are the oversize, ailerons, and a custom nose cap that I'm still working on. I've read many a thread complaining about these birds being tail heavy. This doesn't surprise me much as we had to add a TON of weight to the chuck gliders (without motors!). So I'm going to make a "helmet" for the nose. Basically it's just a cup that covers the nose, holds the battery hatch down, and adds some length to the nose. I've left enough space between the helmet and the beak to add/remove clay. Hopefully the two bigger Sparrows will balance out ok.
buggered up the 120% wing spar and had to improvise. My mistake actually made it easier to get my servos in for the ailerons. I'll post more pics tomorrow once we start mounting motors.
At least with everyone running hand-me down transmitters we can all fly together. FM for life lol!!!!
