Projects

August 17th, 2011 by | Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

I have been working on my private pilots license as well as other things over the last year and not been flying rc as much. However here are some of my projects I have been working on.

The First is a 3 step KF Alula. This plane may be getting a fiberglass covering but i have not decided yet. So it has been sitting for a while.

The next plane is a Elite Fai. Easily one of my favorite planes it has a 24 inch wingspan and is fully aerobatic and pretty darn stable. A blast to fly.

I have built a flying wing as well, that is on hold at the moment as well. considering fiber-glassing. The preview is below.

And to end the details of the last year, here are some random pics.

 

 

Flying Again

August 1st, 2010 by | Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Well it has been a while since I posted a flying anything. I have several new planes and I updated the Hanger with most of them.

I have been working much of the last 2 weeks on my Clancy Aviation Stagger Bee. RCGroups thread here. The first two flights where more eventful then i had planned. The plane flew on the second flight pretty well. But well, among other things. Wind is not it’s friend. I am gonna fly this one till it won’t fly anymore. I have plans for the next build almost completed. It appears that the biggest weakness of this plane is the lower wing strength when landing. both flights broke the lower wing clean in half.

On a positive note, I restored my ol mini F-22 to flying condition. That’s all for now!

Research Paper Done

File: heretic-final

It is done, finally, if any one is interested in reading. It is about Galileo and the evil Holy Roman Empire/Church. Unfortunately I had to tie it all into “Individual in the Chains of Illusion” by Fromm. A rather lame story I have no heart for, and don’t really agree with either. But at least my Story is interesting and unlike Fromm’s, accurate!

Enjoy… maybe

Flying and Project Updates

August 20th, 2009 by | Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

I got some flying in today. It went great, flew around my old Tomhe MiG-29. I am doing alot of research on autopilots and designs for an autonomous uav. I am planning on building a flying wing and using the Ardupilot setup being developed by DIYDrones. It is a pretty nice system. I like the Paparazzi setup too but its a bit costly for me right now.

So that’s my update. I got 4 planes that are still awaiting maiden flights. My Scarm-Blur flying wing, the Talon, a DLG from cliff and the new KFm4 Alula.

I have taken the CF and tail from my scratch built alula. The ailerons are balsa this time. At the point the current weight of everything pictured is 2.7oz still need to cut out the top and bottom for the battery/rx area. The ailerons are being held on by masking tape for the pictures.

Scram-Blur Update

Well it’s all finished and ready to fly. It weighs in at under 4.5 oz and I can’t wait to fly it. Maybe Monday if the weather is good. Here are some pictures.

The last two images show how I set up the flight controls.

SylvanAircraft Scram-Blur

June 28th, 2009 by | Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Ever since Weasel Fest I been looking for a nice slope wing under 24 inches. I found through RC Groups SylvanAircraft (website). They have many powered wings including the Scram-Blur, pictured below. My Zagi did so well on the slope as an unpowered glider, I look forward to trying this one. I plan to build it as light as I can we’ll see how it all works out!

The Scram-Blur runs $27  unpowered.

Flying Again

June 28th, 2009 by | Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

I went out this morning and threw up the ol tomhe Mig-29 for a flight. Despite soccer players around I managed not to crash on anyone. It was light wents and got in two good flights on it.

It has been a while since I flew anything and so I was a bit nervous but a few moments into it everything came back to me and I had alot of fun.
