micro Skywalker

[g.collins]

I have been busy building the long wing Multiplex Fox, when I had an idea for the left over wing tips, 290mm wing span when ther glued together, I haven't made a scratch build for a bit, so I got my laptop out and designed this, its based on the skywalker, 10mins on the laser and a mornings build and her it is, I disided to build some standard wings just in case the wing tips are to radical, the standard wing span is 392mm, I have an 3g AP03 motor to go on that runs on 1s lipo, @ just over 50g of Thrust, and Der I say my 7g FPV gear on it, I wont to see how small is possible, I placed a 300mm rule to give scale.

But then I'd have no excuse to buy a volcano and take over the world???
Although, admitedly... it's a more practical short term solution :)

Her is an update of the Sky toddler, Wat with all the ran and wind this weekend, I have finished it of, hear are some shots of the build.

I have disided to use a Spektrum 6 channel risever, with 2 built on servos, with a separate brush less 3A ESC.



Just like the big Sky walker, I cut a hatch in the side of the fuselage.





it was necessary to mack a lever to connect the elevator.




I fixed the aileron servo to the top of the wing, so it doesn't interfere with the innards, of the plane.




I have fixed the Video transmitter, camera and battery all on the pod all in weight is 10g.



this tacks the howl plane up to a total flying weight of 47g



It has a 390mm wing span, and is powered by a AP03 brush less motor



the next step is to strap the go pro to it



I have to what now for this miserable weather to pass, so I can get out ther and test it.
this is the smallest lightest FPV I have made so far, whats next?

hear is the micro fleet.




looking forward to post the maiden flight soon.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA... although I think your CG is a bit too far back there dude ;)

BTW, was meaning to ask, do you have zero storage space at your house? :P
