Came across a Trunk with this on it.  Looking for where it came from

This just got here today.  Not sure if I'll have it ready this Sunday for a maiden or not?

FlightLine P-51D Mustang 850mm (33") Wingspan - PNP

Wow this has been a while since I posted anything.  I've got quite a few new planes since the Dog Fighter (which I crashed about a month ago).

This is my second FlightLine P-51D Mustang 850mm (33") Wingspan - PNP, hit a chain link fence with the first one, and turned it into confetti. I love how the plane flies.  It has an FrSky S6R flight stabilization receiver to help out in the wind.
It will fly with anything from a 3S 2200 / 4S 2200 LiPo battery.
I chase Hobbyking EF EXTRA planes with it.

EFxtra Motor in Dogfighter

After crashing my EFXtra I had a lot of left over parts. I ordered a Multiplex Dogfighter (actually 2 kits) to put the parts in.

I had to move the stock motor mount supports back into the fuselage to support the large 3536-1780KV Aerostar Outrunner Motor . I ordered a motor mount from Custom RC Parts, and use a soldering iron to cut out slots to move the motor supports back,

I'll post more when the motor mount arrives.

My FPV pontoon plane will get tested this Sunday.  I've flown it off the water as a LOS plane several times.  FPV should be a new thrill.

Spirit 600mm Wingspan EPP FPV Racer Flying Wing RC Airplane KIT

This is my second Banggood Spirit 600mm EPP FPV Racer build. The first one I made as light as possible (110 grams, less battery). I love to fly it when there is no or little wind.

• Emax 6 amp ESC
• Turnigy 1811-2900 with a 4x4.5 prop.
• Emax ES9251 2.5g servos.
• FRSky XMR (micro receiver)
• Turnigy 2S 1000 mah Battery





This is the FRSky XMR micro transmitter used on both planes. It only has solder pads. Not telemetry and range is about 900 ft, I've never lost control on this receiver.

Original Spirit (110 grams not batter)

Original Spirit aileron servos in fuselage.

This new Banggood Spirit 600mm EPP FPV Racer build should penetrate better with the added weight (180 grams, less battery) and stiffening up the wing with carbon rods and laminate.

• Emax 12 amp ESC
• Turnigy 2211-1700 motor with 5.45 prop or maybe a 6x45
• Turnigy 3S 1000 mah battery
• Tower Pro SG50 Micro Servo
• FrSky XMR micro receiver
• Caddix Turbo Micro S1 Camera
• FXT FX806TC - 5.8GHz 25mW Race Band Detachable VTX

Looks like it is going to rain tomorrow, so no maiden. Maybe next weekend

I'll post more pictures as the build progresses.

This is my first Caddix camera.

Turnigy 2211-1700 motor

Before laminating the wing and ailerons. Used some small solid carbon fiber rods to stiffen up the wing

I laminate the wing and ailerons. Not sue if I'll do anything the fuselage?. 

Had these servos laying around.

Moved the servos to the top of the wing for better authority.

Only thing left are the fins.

The carbon rods really stiffen the wing up.  I don't think 3 s will be a problem at all.

RC EYE One Xtreme

RC EYE One Xtreme 

 

I bought me a little RC EYE One Xtreme about 6 months ago.  I flew the quad in the yard and around for about 2 months. Seemed like I was always bending motor shafts in some of my crashes.

 Bad Crash 1

I finally broke the plastic frame and replaced it with a Polycarbonate  from Phoenix Flight Gear. It was a lot stronger that the stock frame. 

 Bad Crash2

I flew if for another month or so and crashed so hard till I broke the power pins off the flight controller. I had stared reading post on all the forums about flight controllers. I decided to give OpenPilot a chance (I really liked that it was open source). I ordered a Andoer DIY FPV 260 V1 G10 Mini Multicopter Quadcopter Frame Kit 260mm from Amazon (later figures out all it was was a Diatone clone)

Goodbye RC EYE One Xtreme
