RE: car/plane
I like the y harness from the cars servos to the plane. but there are a cupple problems first. I cant fly a plane and my buddy cant drive a car. and lets say i get the center of gravity a little off and i need constant up elivator to keep the nose up. well my car engine would rev it self to its deth with no load on it.
Ya the ramp is a little much. that was actually built with the intent to jump just my car on level ground.
The pices of the avastar are coming to gether. I have from where the wing attaches in the front all the way back done. and when I say done I meen it is a mess of apoxy wood and glue. the thing looks like it was run through a wood chipper then put back together.
just waiting for the apoxy to dry up and it sould be time to mount it.
speeking of mounting it I havent really thot of that. making a rigid mount to the car was my first idea. go off the pins that hold the body on on the car. But then I was thinking when this thing crashes the car is going to shred this plane. so I got thinking if there was some way for in a event of a crash the plane part would have a breaking point or "weak link" where the fusulage will break off from the car and have regualr plane damage with out a 5 pound car smashing it into the ground.
I am not shure of the whole backwards wing set up or what that was called. I really dont know but it seems if the wing is in the center of gravity why shouldent it stay ballenced. for all I know the whole plane part may be hanging way off the back of the car to keep it even.
I like the idea of putting a seprate engine on the top of the plane pushing the craft. but I think it is to early in the project to talk about that. I am leaving for vacation tomarow at noon. so I hope to have a plan of how the plane is going to attach to the car, this way while I am gone my buddy can do all the tedious work of wiring and adjusting the servo linkages and such.
I fully plan to have many vids of its madien crash, oh I meen flight. little off topic but I have NO idea to poast a VIDIEO on the internet. I have windows vid maker. I will look around to see what other people have done.
oh ya what should I call this thing??????? Any one ever seen the movie sonw ball express. well I was thinking of calling it the mighty mongroll after the snowmobile in that movie. hope you guys dont get sick of my long poasts. I will try to log on rcu on the curse ship.
