The A3 was just small enough to fit on top of the original ESC bracket but this time I’m mounting the ESC on its side under the tray with the stabiliser on top.
All drops in from under the wing so easy to get in and out.
This view is upside down, the esc cable ties onto the tab which drops down through the top plate into where there is plenty of cooling air flow & the stabiliser mounts on the flat top. Rx will go back where it was on the side of the fuselage under the plate.
My Li’l Eagle repairs are well under way after its “Down is up & Up is expensive” episode at the end of flying yesterday.
The timber gear tray was trashed so I designed & printed a new one which seemed easier than stuffing around repairing the old one.
Fits just like a finger in a bum.
Now working on the bracket to hold the ESC and the A3-V2 stabiliser.
With the new gear tray installed the central body has now been glued back together.
The damaged aileron has also been repaired
I’ll leave them overnight for the glue to dry properly then tomorrow repair the battery tray & front wheel mount and she will be all good to fly inverted once again.
Given the gear you are trying to work with Kermit my man It was another top video with lots of great content. Well done.
You definitely fly much less aggressively than I do, probably why your plane is still in one piece & mine isn’t.
Ah well, nothing a bit of glue won’t fix.
Good one Ron, the Tundra’s do fly nicely.
It’s a pity we couldn’t get some better range out of the Hat Cams.
Nice, I’m still editing so may be a little while.
Did you get any decent footage of the biplane flight?
Too windy & wet for flying & too damn cold for sailing. Hopefully next week will be better.
Well done all those that did brave the winter weather.
Ah the things we do !!. Great videos from another fun day.
Not sure how long we will need to wait for this next bout of bad weather to pass over Tas and clear up but by the sound of it, mid to late next week may be the first chance for a fly.
After a bit of gardening today I got the other larger of (Kermit’s Bro) John’s bi-plane fitted up, programmed & running and on a 3S battery this one seem to have a lot more power than the Pitts Special did.
I guess it would want to this one is way heavier. No doubt our next flying day will tell.
At least the Pitts flew nice & level so I guess its set up OK, just not very high & not very far !!
Yes, so was I, that file got corrupted when the camera was unplugged without switching record off first.
I went to great lengths to recover it but to no avail.
Guess I could try to do it all over again!!
