I am starting to get a little more comfortable with this 3D jet flying stuff..

and I hope you not get more experienced with repairing composite airframes

Hey Koen,
Yep I am sure this will come sooner or later [&o] Still there is always more fun when pushing the boundaries, and I guess the chance of damage just gets higher the harder you push! I hope it does not happen too soon, but I would be a fool to think it is never going to break!

Surely there must be easier ways to blow the leaves

I was actually re doing the centre line markings

Ali,

A few more from yesterday, looking good too,

Alistair.

You may be, but I bet the Ants are feeling less than comfortable !

ANTMURDERER!

No Ants, or worms were hurt in the making of this photo!

What about the moles???

Great stuff Ali.
Enjoyed the weekend and your 'subdued' flying
See you next weekend.

Paul

Looks like you could have had some roasted mutton chops if you had done it a little further out :-)<div>

Ali, you da man as always! 

Where did you get that shark mouth decal on the eurosport?

Raf

Hey Raf
I had those made by my good friend Dunc. He is a member on here and I am sure he could make some more to order. I have always been a fan of the sharks mouth look and felt the Euro was prime candidate for one.

Das wut I was thinkin'

Fried sheep anyone?

PAULD

Ali,

I'll take a couple!!

How do I get some?

Raf

Just PM me RAF and I'll sort you out.


BBQ lamb would of gone nicely with the mustang minced lamb from the night before lol (that's a joke before any members of PETA get the hump )

Dunc

I would love to use that to roast the fire ants in my yard.  lol, cool jet!

I was hoping i would see one of these soon . . . . . i was not disappointed! got me thinking . . . . .

Complete with sharks mouth!

Hello... I just bought a couple Hitech 7955 TG's from Al's hobbies as they no longer had my usual 7965mg's(much les powerful) My question is are 18kg torque(superfast) servos a bit of an overkill for a 3D dual axis nozzle (to be paired with a dual axis gyro) or is that sort of power needed to direct the exhaust of a 160 class turbine? Hope this makes sense to someone it's not easy to get tips on this kind of installation.Bigger isn't always better, well maybe...

Happy new year to everyone

Too much power is always fine, less work for the servo. I use super fast JR servos 10.5kg on my 3-D Universe and they seem fine, most use JR 11kg servos. I would not go less than 10kg, there is a lot more load than you think. Whether the servo centres or resolution is more a worry though.

All three Eurosport Universe's that we have put together have had the JR 8411 on both axis of the pipe. I cannot see any issues associated to having too much servo power so those servos you have will be fine.
There is also so much slop/ movement in the Tumble Pipe assembly after a few flights, which seems to make little difference to how the model performs so I doubt servo centring or resolution will be an issue either.
Regards Al
PS Thanks for the order If you need any other tips on the set up of the Eurosport let me know. Set up makes a big difference with any plane, but none as much as the 3D universe. It took me along time to set my first one up properly, but the second and third for a customer was very straightforward.
