Great video as usual Mr Kermit, and Andrew!!

[Predator]

Ah yes, but proving it to the “Frog’s” satisfaction, well that is another matter entirely.

Nice video & I usually don’t take sides but ….
regarding the comment Kermit Ramming Me (from another angle), I’m sure there is a rule that states Power gives way to sail – just sayin”

[Predator]

Yet another fine video from the Toad Hall Productions team (of one).

Looking just like the original Ron.

Today, just as the weather starts to improve the Wild Wing is finally completed.

Fitted the fins to finish the top.

and fitted a modified battery hatch to finish the bottom. I needed the battery slot to be deeper to accommodate some of my slightly larger 3S 2200mAh LiPos but I didn’t want to remove any material from the wing. especially round the nose area so I 3D printed a TPU Flex battery holder that hangs out of the bottom of the wing slightly then cut the hatch material to fit around it.  All is protected & battery installation is easy.

Now all we need is a flying day to maiden her.

Finished mounting & testing the motor & ESC today & 3D printed the top cover to tidy it all up.

Found the “Original” Wild Wing logo on line so after a bit of tidying up managed to print (well cut actually) one with the Brother Vinyl Cutter.

Also got the electronics finished & the stabiliser & Rx installed along with a test battery.

COG appears to be spot on according to the online measurements without any corrector weights.

Now just have to decide on how I’ll do the bottom hatch cover as I don’t particularly like the supplied yellow corflute one.

Motor & ESC installed

[Predator]

I reckon it is the switch, when I was first testing it wouldn’t work & I bypassed the switch and all was OK.

I lubricated the switch and it seemed to work OK, if its still playing up I would just bypass it & plug the Rx battery straight into the receiver. THe battery indicator will still work as that was connected straight to the Rx anyway.

As for the Wild Wing, just something to keep me amused during these rainy days.  Motor mount completed, just need to make a backing plate for the other side of the wing then it cam all be put together & tuned up.

[Predator]

Still plodding along, edge protection tape installed & also got the elevons covered & fitted along with the control arms.

Centred position

Now to fit the motor.

I’ll be installing the same size “Bell” motor (2408-21T 1750KV?) as fitted to Kermit’s Wild Wing along with a 30A Esc & 8 x 3.8 Prop so the performance should be similar.

[Predator]

Another less than nice day outside so another perfect opportunity to do some more building on the Wild Wing.

Servos installed, tested & centred and the top of the wing now covered in packing tape as per the bottom.

Now the fiddley job of the edge protection tape & then the elevons need covering & installing.

 

[Predator]

Yes, that is what happens when the “Air Brakes” fail, or you bounce on landing !!

[Predator]

Another fine video Mr Kermit but we need to check your camera settings as your 4K videos are no where near the quality they should be. Like you stated your 1080 versions were turning out better.

Great content none the less.

[Predator]

Not too bad for your first attempt at 4K video. I reckon there is a wrong setting in your editor somewhere as you shouldn’t get that blocky background on clear sky etc.

Great content none the less, thank Mr Frog.
