F-117 Nighthawk project

Vegard — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:25:57 +0000

After my last to planes I still had some depron left. I decided to build myself another plane instead of throwing it away or keeping it for repair scrap.

I had already came across a free pdf version of F-117 and the choice were easy. After transforming the pdf manual into paper with a little printer help, I realised the plane were to advanced. Which is not really necessary in my opinion. This resulted in what I would call a 50/50 build. I started the nose as it should be, but shorted the back down quite allot. I ended up only using the paper as line-up before adapting the pieces were I wanted them, using eye sight.

This plane is retired because of last crash due to it`s bad aerodynamic flight capabilities.

I have finished my flybarless helicopter and had maiden flight yesterday. It flight great for maiden flight with nothing being tuned, not even vbar! the only thing I could set my finger on was the tail bogging. It kept drifting back and forth, as you can see in video below.

If you want to view build pictures of this heli you can get them here.

F-22 Raptor depron project

Vegard — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:19:25 +0000

Two days ago, I managed to get my hands on 800x1200x6mm depron sheets locally. I only had to pay 207NOK or $30, if you wish. These sheets are god for 3-4 planes. I almost got two planes in one sheet where the Raptor was cut in one piece.

Yesterday I received my package from readyheli where there was two receivers and four 11.1v 850mAh kongpower batteries I tend to use on these planes. More on my second plane in another post.

Specifications for this plane will be updated when I deside the electronics for it.

Specifications so far:

Spektrum AR6100
2200mAh 3S LiPo
HS81 MG servos
Graysonhobby brushless motor 2212-06 V2 2200kv
30A ESC
6×4″ prop

The plane is now dead after I dived pretty fast into a little forest.

I received my Tamiya TA-05 car one week ago. Due to allot of work I haven’t gotten the time writing about it. It’s a pretty neat car and I’m pretty much done with the whole car. You can see some pictures of the build process below.

Electronics in use at the moment:
- 540-motor (stock)
- JR servo
- Kyosho 27-mHz (crap)
- 13 turns ESC
- 11.1v LiPo battery
