Does anybody really know?

I have been trying to research and determine what the Futaba receiver bus current rating is. I cannot find this information anywhere. The reason I need to know the bus rating is because I am building...

New Postage Stamp Design

It was really cold at the flying field today, but I had it in mind to test fly the “Gooseneck Stamp” today so I endured the cold. (Dave came up with the name Gooseneck Stamp) After charging and...

New Postage Stamp Design

Dave

I like the name “Gooseneck Stamp”. I think you are right about the engine thrust angle and I already have another one on the building runway that is going to have about 5 degrees up thrust. I...

New Postage Stamp Design

Spaceman

I really don’t know how the thrust line will work out. I do know that the rudder is much more effective than on the standard Stamp. Having all the prop blast above the wing puts the...

New Postage Stamp Design

It has been three or four months since I was in my shop for anything other than home remodeling related jobs. Today I decided to spend the day in my shop and build an airplane. I was thinking about...

Don’t worry about the wing being warped. It changes for each and every flight it seems like. I have had some of the most ungodly looking wing shapes and they still perform ok. We were doing...

Check This Idea Out, A Flying Bucket.

I decided to try it again today, Saturday 21, 2002, and see if I could get the bucket off the ground. This time I used my backyard test field, it is rather small with trees close by and with a bumpy...

Check This Idea Out, A Flying Bucket.

I made it to the field today with my Bucket-O-Fun. I didn’t get it in the air, but I did learn two things about it. First it tracks very well down the field and the rudder steers ok. Second, the CG...

Check This Idea Out, A Flying Bucket.

I was able to get the radio gear installed in the bucket today and I think I will get to test fly it tomorrow, Saturday morning. I decided to go ahead and install a rudder while I had it on the...

Stamp/PBF/FlatPlane first timer...

Remember Chris when the plane leaves the ground reduce the throttle to slow her down. If it is still hard to manage simply point the nose up at about a 20 or 30-degree angle and give it a little more...

Dave

You are right; it does look like a peep sight. Maybe I will be able to hit the center of the field with this plane.

That is a good name for the plane, Bucket-O-Fun. Thanks!

For the last few weeks I have been inactive in my shop because we are in another phase of our home improvement project. I was able to sneak down to my shop last Thursday for a few hours, I told my...

The Invisible Stamp

The invisible Stamp looks good in the air. I tried it today Oct. 2, 2002 and it is a little hard to keep up with it, especially at a distance. I figured it would be less visible than white because of...

New Version of the Stamp, a Pusher Stamp

As stated above the 6-inch balance point seems to fly better than the 5.5-inch I use on the standard Stamp. I am planning on removing three more ounces from the leading edge during the next test...

New Version of the Stamp, a Pusher Stamp

I took the Pusher Stamp back to the flying field today for another test flight. It was raining when I got there and nobody else was there, I had the field to myself. It has been a while getting here,...

Vectored Thrust Stamp

Today was a full day of testing for me, both the Pusher Stamp and the Vectored Thrust Stamp was in the air. The Vectored Stamp turned out to be one of the best flying Stamps I have had. I placed the...

I have been looking for a biplane design that would work for the Stamp. I have a few in mind and should be able to try one soon.

The Invisible Stamp

OldRCer


I have found that for the Stamp to have the same flight characteristics the wing area (576 sq. inches for the 24 x 24) needs to be maintained within 10% of that amount. Your 20 x 24 (480...

Vectored Thrust Stamp

Kevin

Kevin, one idea to cover your wingtips would be to use nylon screws to anchor 2 mm coroplast tips in place. For 2 mm coroplast a number 6 or 8 nylon screw would screw into the corrugations,...

Vectored Thrust Stamp

Can’t wait to see your finished product. Using mini servos on the elevons as far as torque would probably be ok. The only problem is when you have a really hard crash, nose first, the...

The Invisible Stamp

Joe Lang,

Sounds like a good idea Joe! I am sure it would make a sleek looking Stamp, a Stealth Stamp, now that has class. The way the Stamp hovers so close to the ground it reminds me of a covert...
