I built another G3PO tonight after dinner and made more streetlight runs.
I built this one from my own plans to make sure everything is ok on the plans.
I have updated the drawings slightly to make the landing gear mount more
robust. Will post new diagrams soon. The new drawings print out on 8.5 x 11 paper
full size so you can use them for templates for the main body, fin, rudder and landing
gear mounting plate.
Jim is sending me an AXI outrunner to try that I will report on ASAP.
Only critical test item left is the aerobalsa 1.5" blades. I have them prepped for
covering and only need install blade reinforcements and drill holes. Perhaps tomorrow
evening.
I have the construction down to 6 wood parts, 3 of which are just pieces of 3/8 square stock.
1 of which is the 1/4 balsa filler, then the LG mount and the fin mount, that and the fiberglass
tube and CF landing gear are the only chassis parts.
Here's the detail drawing on the fin/rudder/tail wheel assembly..
