Nano Quick Build.....
 
1 Attachment(s)
Been quite a while since I flew a Boomerang so I thought I would throw one together for myself. The Nano was in house for the gear development and every time I walked past it I could hear a faint whisper saying build me... yes you, build me....

Well, just under 12 hours into it and all I have left is to glue the intakes on, linkage and CG. Old trusty Super Bee dropped right in.

Really a well thought out kit that is very simple to assemble. Two thumbs up to Alan!! Well done!

Hey . . . I don't see an aluminum stopper on that tank. :)

Thanks - I will use your layout as a template.

LOL...yea, was out of stock when I assembled it. I hate the stock plastic crap, they always crack and deform; will probably replace it now that they have arrived.

Hmmm . . . maybe I should buy one of those digital air guages from you since the airpower set is out of stock. The price on that is pretty good. What powers it?

I have a kit that is crying out the same thing. Can I send it to you?

Yes, they are quite nice. Comes with two three way fill valves in the package as well. They do need a power lead from the RX so you will need a free port or use a Y lead. They are in stock.

The Nano really is a quick build. If your really needing someone to build it for you, I am sure I can find the time to get it done.

Does it draw much juice and will it run on 6.6v? BTW - what are you using for power to your receiver and ECU? Any photos of the gear under the main board?

One more question - any issues hitting the CG using the Super Bee? Any added weight?

Hey Todd:

That little digital air guage is a nice little gizmo. I am diggin it - especially for the price. It is probably worth mentioning on your web page for it that it requires a male-to-male servo extension to power it though. That way people can plan to have one ready.

HI, nice install, glad to see you did not install that dreaded time bomb, the propane can.

I see you are using two double Jet Tronic valves???

Steve,
No problems with the balance, used two 4300mah LiIon packs (rx and ecu) in the nose and balance was dead on. I have not measured the current draw on the digital air gauge but since it has no valves, I would imagine the draw is minimal. Trying to get Airpower to include the male to male lead with the unit. No problems with the unit on A123 packs.

Pete, correct, I do not use onboard propane, try to eliminate potential fire hazards as much as possible.

Jascat, I am using the Jettronic low loss brake valve which is similar in configuration to the dual action unit.

Good call.
