Nutball Warbird (Nutbird) Scratchbuild
Here is the latest scratchbuild that I have been working on - a nutball with a warbird theme (hence the name Nutbird, whick is in fact a "portmanteau") I based the plane on the 24" nutball design that goldguy has published here on RCG. But since I had only 30"x20" sheets of foam board, this plane ended up being 23.5" in diameter in order to minimize waste.
Here is a list of the major parts that were used... - Grayson Hobby Disposable Sport Foamy Brushless Motor/ESC - Tower Pro 9g Servos (x2) - GWS Stick Motor Mount - GWS 8x4 Electric Prop - Generic 3s 2200mah Battery - Orange6 Rx - Various Colors of Duct and PlasticTape Other materials included various screws, control rods, control horns, tape, glue, sticks, and velcro. Total weight comes in at 20oz. I still plan to add some LG using some .032" music wire and a couple Dubro Super Lite 2" wheels. That and add some decals to finish out the warbird look Update - 3/24/2012 I updated the setup information above to reflect some changes that I made. I didn't really care for the 2s setup I was using. It just didn't have the performance I was looking for, plus I had to add quite a bit of nose weight in order to balance the plane out. Total weight is up to 20oz now What I might do is just use a bigger battery later on because I had to add 5 pz of nose weight in order to balance it out. But, it flies pretty nice as you can see from the video below
Update - 3/26/2012 One more video just because this plane is so much fun... Update - 3/24/2012
