More one for our team
And now is female. After a salad of parts, assembled a Piper and gifts Marcele, Ronaldinho's sister and girlfriend's Bila. She already trained on the simulator and don't had some difficulties in piloting.
Tips for Yak 55M
I Build more a Yak 55M, but this came with some modifications that I think have improved the plane. And I suggest that is implanted in the assembly design of the next aircraft.
1 - One problem the project has always been the weakness of the landing gear. The depron bar has been removed (always breaks even), and was assigned a new lock of the landing and anchored in the same point in support of the wings. And in tests (forced landings or controlled falls)the landing gear resisted good. And finally, although not shown in these photos were also taken from the leggings, are cool but do not last long.
2 - The ailerons and wings were cut in one piece, so as to prevent the ailerons paste off over time. We should mark (draw) the aileron on the wing. V-Groove should be cut in the position of connection of the wing with the aileron. Sounds complicated to make, but it is very simple, should be done free hand, the knife angled at 45 degrees, and controlling the depth of the blade in depron. To control the depth to make a mark on the blade so that shows how far the tip of the knife to enter the depron. I used a mark of 3mm.
3 - Was placed on the wing plus a small bar of carbon fiber, as was observed in those maneuvers with large deflection and great speed, for example, snaps at speed, there is a deformation on the tip of the wing and aileron. To the tip of the aileron is not given a solution. This change is still in testing. On flights I did I liked the result, but the plane is still very new and very locked. This change is best mesuread over time, when the depron begin to soften.
4 - Finally the use of steel guitar/piano wire of 0.5 mm or stell wire fishing for the pull pull rudder. Being an extremely hard wire, a single ply locked with a shrink or steel tube, to solve your installation, which makes a very good solution to the assembly very simple.
Below some more pictures of the painting.

Yak 55M Pizza
A good option for those who have limited access to a good Depron is using trays Pizza. The construction was made up on the plan Yak 55M, and were used trays Pizza Depron 35cm in diameter, this model was 10g with the most, compared to one made with depron of RCFoam.
The process of building the model is the same already posted HERE.

Edge 540 - Big Shock 120cm(46inch) of wing
I earned of Murilo´s friend one foamie Edge 540 with 120cm(46inch) of wing and builded this using the setup:
-Motor E-Flite 450
-Speed chinese Ling 35A
-Servo chinese 9G
-Baterias 3S 1320mA Thunder Power
The flight is very good as well as other good foamies, but a as feature more, being more sizing and weighting it doesn´t suffer much interference from the winds.
For those who want to build the plant can be downloaded HERE or HERE(RCGroups).

Fly By Night - Second Test
In the first time I used just 3 high intensity leds and the result was bad, I didn't see nothing. Now I used glow wire and 6 high intensity leds in the tip of the wing. The vision of the leds were good, but of the glow wire were nothing. The final solution will be use high intensity leds only.
II Manaus AeroFest - 2009

The dangers of the lithium battery
Everybody know of the battery lithium dangers. But information never hurts. These weekend our friend Pengo almost put fire in the bedroom, lucky came in time for extinguish fire, extinguish with your shirt that turned floor cloth. After the "expertise" we found the charger set in 4S(14,8v), but the battery were 3S(11,1v). Was less 15min of charge for all damage. The items burned were next the only one battery in charger, the other battery, charger, helmet, car(DBX), all of were turn in burned, the alcohol saved. :eek: Some photos:
Photos of the weekend
Weekend were met 5 people of our team. Fact difficult of the happened.
Trainning Roll
I trainning roll of all kinds. Roll, Rolling Harrier(Slat), Loop Roll, etc... I´m starting get the way.

Electric Competition in Brumadinho-MG - Brazil
In July 25 happened on the Brumadinho-MG city one competition RC electric aircraft, the step was:
-Landing in the square
-More number of little landing in the one minute
-Passage under strip
We were there. The day was great, with funny and good conversations. Under a some photos, and the cool video in the passage under strip, where the pilot passed inverted and the resulted a total of 23 competitors.
Resulted:
1º Place - Cleuber
2º Place - Guto
3º Place - Sérgio Finelli

Paints With Airbrush
My friends are a each day more proffissional with airbrush, below some beatiful photos:
Building the Yak 55M Foam
List:
* 1.5 sheets of 3mm x 33cm x 100cm depron;
* 4 carbon solid rod of 1mm x 1m;
* 1 steel wire of 1mm x 1m for fishing;
* 1 carbon strip of 0.5mm x 3mm x 1m;
* 3 micro servos of 5g;
* 1 micro receiver of 5g;
* Brushless Hacker A10 – 15S or equivalent of the max 20g;
* Speed Hacker X7 or equivalente;
* LiPo 2S 480mA (Thunder) or 350mA (EVO/EON Lite);
* Old Credit Card;
* CA Foam odorless and accelerator;
* CA Thin;
* Hot Glue;
* Heat Shrink Tube of 1.5 or 2mm;
* Heat Shrink Tube of 3mm;
The Depron and the great part were buy in the RCFoam .
Download the plan HERE .
For all build use CA Foam Odorless. If have other part if will be use other glue, it will be quoted in the photos. Using this components the model will be very light and perfect, other componet could leave more heavy.
The final weight the model was 134g.

Fly By Night - First Test
The first test of night flights, in the complete dark. We just used 3 high density led´s, Bila didn´t see anything, but had to understanding. In the next we will be use Glow Wire .
My friend Bila and Me
These videos are the day 06-28-2009, in the first my friend Bila trainning torque roll, in the second I flying the Yak 55M.
