Meshuggah;

I wanted to build the model per plans, but wound up with a heavy tail and not enough nose to counter balance it :-)
If you know how to SWAP ail and rud, I'm interested. I can copy one to another with mixes, but can figure out how to swap them..

i dont' really plan on giving them out after what has happened with some of my planes being sold by hobbycity.
anyways, they're both my designs, but sorry, don't want to give out plans,

Hi Ryan;

I understand. Thanks for the reply.
If you don't mind though, there's enough detail in the picture for me to cut one up. Where's the CG?

Ryan,
Your canard is baised on the Japanese Shinlin is it not? If not it looks really close to that plane. Looks like you got the canard just right so that it will fly fine.

Can't blame you about plans. No one wants their plans taken and used by someone else with out money being paid for them. Just not right.

To swap two channels you need to copy the other channel (one mix for each channel)

Then to kill the original input, you mix the channel to itself -100%/-100%

It takes 4 mixes to fully swap a channel.

Yupp You need the mix and just blank the first

You two are dead on! I just tried it.

I know I took several shots at this more than a year ago on a Vapor brick and just couldn't get it. I could mix one to the other, but when I tried to zero out a channel, I killed that channel.
With this and mixing the THRO over to the GEAR channel for an external ESC, it makes the Vapor bricks as useful as the AR6400 to me for my BL/4ch/Aileron planes and 10 bucks cheaper..

Anyway, thanks a bunch!

My Jodel with wingspan of 60cm and a take of mass of 33g!
(Yes, with a 240mAh Lipocell)
a AR6400 for rudder and elevator! 2 g Brushless!
After a plan from the german magazin FMT! The plan is available from vth.de!
The designers name is Hilmar Lange!

My Grob G109! wingspan of 110cm!!! And a take off mass of 76g!

AR 6400 for rudder and elevator!
2 SPMAS2000: for the ailerons!
the 5g silverwind motor from Jamara!
2cells 240mAh lipo!
and i added a brick for the positionlights, anticollisonlight! and landing light!
(switched by the transmitter)

I hope you like it

you guys are crazier than me!

Here's my 15" wing span Super Chipmunk. 3 mm Depron and the gear from a Sukhoi including motor and prop. Color by Sharpie. I printed the plans on banner paper (8.5" by 22").

GermanTigger;

what are you guys using for 2S BL ESC?
My favorite, YGE-4: 1S-3S 4A, is not available in the US anymore.

hey meshuggah! beautiful plane! what prop and battery are you useing to get 30g? Also do you know what current your pulling when your getting that? how about a flight vid!

Here is a micro 3D/F3P plane I built. AR6400L, AS2000L, Sukhoi motor, soon GWS 5043, 110mah, AUW 31g. It flies mich slower than the sukhoi even though it weighs the same, it just has more wing area. It is my fist, so thats why it is a little heavy. 3mm depron.

I was not so happy with the YGE regulators thats why I tried something different! So i used the Xetronix regulator! To NOT burn the AR6400 i use a diode to reduce the volltage!

Toby

Wow, the stuff you build is just amazing. I'm a micro plane builder as well but compare to your skill I'm more like nothing!!!
Just few little questions for your advise. First, where can I purchase the material that you use for building the fuselage. Second, how did you get the fuselage become 3D dimensional? Are there any techniques for building great planes like yours? (mine is always "squireish" looking)

Hope you don't mind to answer my questions

Thanks =D
