Space ship

[x-boy]

Well guys i dont know if this is the right forum but im designing a space ship and i need a lot of experienced help............

The whole plan is to build a space ship dome type thingy u know ufo....vertical takeoff and moving around......

Ok so basically i can either make a donut with a edf in the center gives me vertical flight but then i gotta figure out a way for lateral flight....

Or i can make a dome and have a edf or a prop on the bottom for vertical and tilt it for lateral flight....

Or i can make a star trek thingy with a prop for vertical and a prop on the side for lateral.....


Expected weight would be around......30 oz or under hopefully......i got micro servos and sp400 motors and an sp400 D-gear and a sp 600 geared 3:1.....

Other things apart firstly would this power system be appropriate ir would i have to go brushless ??? i got lipos so if u guys would please give me an answer fast i think i can convince my dad to order a brushless combo.....so please guys fast and help me make roswell come true......

Light speed.....may aliens eat our brains....

I have been working on the same thing for sometime. You are going to need at least brushless motors and lipos if you are brave enough to use them. My current model weighs between 28 and 32oz. and control is the big nut to crack. Unit is stable with no electric gyro.

Thanks

The Draganfly (a mere $2300 to start) with a faked saucer body will all that.

All of my test models that fly (I've built about 7 different ones) use a pjs 1000 with 8 fp1950 cells and a jeti 30 amp esc. 2 small servos. My newest version has the same gear with an up grade to a pjs 1200. This model which I only have the power system and controls built for is based on the old cox starcruiser freeflight model. My ultimate goal is a C-57D and or "Invaders" saucer. :D

any pics of ur creations if its not top secret ???

If you do a search on ezone for "flying saucer in depron" some of my older designs are shown. All have been rekited :eek: or redesigned into the next incarnation :D . When the current design matures I will post pics.
