RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

It's giving me irregular peak runs. I narrowed it down to a screw loose in the carb. I didn't know what it was until I took the bird back home. I just did another test flight and it's running alot...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Well it flys with authority! No video of it in the air yet. I still need to do some more tweeking on the engine. I think something is going wrong with my fuel pump!

68 x 750 wing is still in place

Dry weight was 4lbs w/o equipment. After the stuff was put on it's sitting about 6lbs

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Pretty much plug in and go. Just stay away from GWS. I'm almost tempted to add another one for 'Flapperons'. I have to upgrade my TX before I do that.

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

It wasn't that hard. Just make sure you use a sharp bit, and go at a moderate speed. Just be careful not to tear up the threads to much. I'd suggest running a bead of CA around the hole after your...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Here is an idea that I'm stealing from the RC-Car guys. Hopefully it won't fail me in this application. I'm using a pin to hold my carbon fiber boom in place. Needless to say it holds very well when...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Yeah *looks around inconspicuously*.... The first concept design of the plane had the wing on the bottom. I didn't think much of it until I plotted out the design in full scale and hung it on the...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

The fuse is much like the electric version, just slide over the profile. On the concept design I liked how the electronics mounted on either side of the profile. As long as the device was under 4"...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Didn't have to much time to work on the beast today. Between work and phone emergencies today I'm beat. I was able to get the wheels on and the grooves cut in the fuse for the gear. Next stop is...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Well it is the scaled up version of the battery version. This one is running a 50 sized Magnum 4 stroke in the back. The 4 stroke runs cooler and draws less fuel. There is probably another 2 weeks...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Well I'm debating where I want to put the video camera. I could mount it the same way I did in the electric, or I could just put it in the nose.. So far I'm at 3lbs and should be about 5-6 when I'm...

RE: Aerosodle - R2 (My Video Plane)

Yes this is a revisit of the one I was flying out at the field not to long ago... The previous version had a problem with the landing gear block. There are boom changes, Tail changes.. All sorts of...
