Maybe tomorrow I start to assemble a few bits & pieces.
The fuselage is finished. along with the tail, rudder & elevators so pretty much just the wings to print but I’ll assemble what I’ve finished first. Should have a spare motor around here somewhere to fit this one as it’s only a 680mm wingspan.
Looking more like a P51 Mustang every day
I don’t think we will get any reprieve from the winds this week unfortunately. Hopefully once Show day has passed it will get better.
Finally, my 3D printed Zero is completed, apart from the motor (which should be here in the next couple of weeks).
I gave the entire plane a couple of coats of clear gloss Acrylic Enamel as this tends to toughen the LW PLA somewhat.
All servos are in and set up along with the PWM ELRS receiver etc. Once the motor arrives & is installed I can tidy up the wiring & she is ready for her maiden.
I modified how the wing servos fit, don’t like glueing them direct into the wing as 9gm servos are easily damaged & almost impossible to remove if glued directly into the wing.
I will install some servo protectors as well before flying.
My homebrew black logos have been installed in place of the red roundels
Hopefully she flies as good as she looks !!
You need to read the post, not just look at the pretty pics GG, that is exactly what I stated in the 4th paragraph !!, but yes it’s coming along great.
Just cut the windows with the vinyl cutter while waiting for the wing parts to print.
Just to differentiate from Ron’s Zero a bit more I have gone for black roundels with a white Z rather than the normal Japanese Red roundels.
Hopefully it will look OK.
Did notice it was turning better in one direction than the other but nothing too dramatic. Anyway all fixed now.
only needed a new servo arm and 4 replacement vortex generators
