Voodoo Express
 

Hello,

I'm a beginner in pattern flying. This year, I fly a Galaxy (very old design just before the well-known Curare) in the sportsman category.

I don't want to have the same plane that the other guys and the idea is to perform the construction myself. The Voodoo express seems to be a very interesting pattern plane even if it is not really present in the fields.

A few "old" threads are dedicated to this plane in this forum. Is it possible to obtain more informations about the plane? I have already the plan of http://www.insightrc.com/

I see you have the link to Insightrc. Richard Lewis's VooDoo Express 2 is based directly from the original VooDoo Express. Richard did a magnificent job incorporating some changes to make it repeatable. Nat's VooDoo Express was scratch built by himself. I think you would be very happy with the VooDoo Express 2.

If there is anything I can help you with let me know.

See [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9749764/tm.htm]this thread[/link] for the construction.

I have a Voodoo Express underway, covering going on now. Plans, and foam parts available from Mark Hunt at Insight RC. Mine will be electric with E-Flight Power 110 and 8S battery.

Hello,

Do you have some pictures of the construction?

RE: Voodoo Express
 

No, unfortunately I did not take pictures as I was building.

RE: Voodoo Express
 

Couple more pictures. A friend is covering for me while I paint one of his..

RE: Voodoo Express
 

Nice scheme

Do not hesitate to post some pictures about the radio and motor installation. I'm very interested.

So what was the final result and your thoughts?

Don't know yet. I flew it two flights and had motor or ESC issues and it wasn't producing power to fly any vertical maneuvers. I don't know if it was a bad motor, ESC settings or what. Straight and level trim was good and it didn't seem to have any significant coupling issues. I got busy with other stuff and haven't looked into why the power wasn't there. Now that the pattern season is over I plan to get it going again. Pictures of the completed plane.
