Re:Link is to Flash - boooo!
For your convenience, links to the full size pictures:
We decided we need to build something, to keep ourselves occupied. Sorry for the small photos in the series, I lost some of the originals.
Laying out a new steerable tail wheel assembly.
The completed tail wheel assembly, with super power steering action!
Tail wheel, installed into a shiny new hole in the bottom of the fuselage.
The chosen electric motor, cat sold separately. Size: 56mm x 52mm Weight: 450 g (15.8 oz) Voltage:21.6–31.2V RPM/Volt (Kv):325Kv Resistance (Ri): 02 ohms Idle Current (Io): 2.00A @ 10V Continuous Current: 50A Maximum Burst Current: 65A (15 sec.)
Sizing up the front landing gear.
Building the box to house the base station components. 200w power supply Ardustation 2 xbee radios VIA EPIA PX10000G Pico-ITX Mainboard 7" touch screen monitor
The hole in the wing was made to fit the aileron server. The blue tape is holding the tail in place while the epoxy dries.
The airframe was designed to use a glow fuel engine, and fuel tank. With an all electric design, we needed to create a new engine mount point, and fill in the space where the fuel tank would sit. Self expanding foam was used, along with cling wrap (to prevent the foam from sticking to the mold).
Waiting for the nose foam and tail epoxy to finish curing.
The mold is off, and I have all ready started shaping the new nose with various implements of destruction.
Top down view of the remolded nose in progress.
New radio gear was purchased, as we discovered the 72mhz radio i had would cause intereference with the 900mhz xbee radios. JR DX6I Spektrum 2.4ghz radio and receiver.
The frontof the ArduStation after assembly. The LCD is not connected yet, as I still need to make measurements for the base station.
