MinimumRC - Retractable Landing Gear Inspection

Designed for ultra-micro-light aircraft less than 30 grams like the MinimumRC P-51 Mustang. With a base smaller than a U.S. dime, this is as tiny as it gets for a commercially available retractable landing gear.
The geometry of the slots in the base and the swing-arm allow the latter to lock in place when extended. In this video I demonstrate the operation using a piece of 0.8mm music wire.
The design is configured for external mounting on the surface instead of internal within a wing cavity as is typical. As such, the landing gear hardware and wheels will always be out in the airstream even when retracted. Made for wings too thin to enclose the wheels.
See the MinimumRC.com website for mor...

When I found out one of the two 1103 motors I had was having issues I ordered replacements. But at the same time I also order a pair of motors I spotted recently that I think may prove more suitable for the modified plane. The new motors have stators (the wire-wound part of the motor) that are 1/2 of a millimeter in length but are 1mm larger in diameter. I feel that this may give them more torq...

UltraUltrix Project - Differential Thrust (V-tail Mixer)

Просмотров 476Год назад

This is the part of the project I had concerns about. The Ultrix has differential thrust whereas one can vary the thrust between the two motors via the rudder stick. This has proven a very popular feature, so including it in my 2S project was a must. I modified a V-tail mixer by removing the black JR servo plugs (input end) and soldered 1.00 micro plugs to the existing solder points, and then s...

I wired everything up for a first power test. I have not used any of this hardware before, so it's as new to me as it is to you. I was so happy to see it all function as intended.

A viewer asked about using the stock 5A brushless ESC built into the receiver. I did run tests with it and I had the camera a recording, so let me show you why I used an external ESC with my motor and prop set-up.

AS3X programming (direction and authority level)

After installing a 2S-powered Spektrum Eflite receiver in my latest micro RC plane I discovered that the AS3X anti-wind gust system was moving the elevator and rudder the wrong way when I rotated the plane around quickly. AS3X doesn't react to slow motions and it doesn't self-level the aircraft. It moved briefly to fight wind gusts and then returns the control surface to where it was, so you ha...

Official SpaceX video feed of the first launch attempt and destruction of the BFR (Big F_cking Rocket) oddly named "Starship". The video starts at one minute to launch on the clock and includes a brief hold at T - 40 seconds. It ends shortly after the flight video feed ends and we see the inside of the control center with Musk not looking happy. No doubt this will be an expensive recovery of wr...

Schweizer S300 (MCPX BL2 rebuild) Windy Day Maiden

Просмотров 473Год назад

I finally got some field access to try out the BL2 I got cheap and rebuilt. I kept the Schweizer S300 canopy on it and added a custom-made boom brace as the real S300 has. It was very windy and the heli was getting tossed around. My slope soaring skills kicked in and I found myself flying a figure-8 pattern so that I was always turning into the wind. I eventually switched to 3D mode so that the...

C187 / MCPX BL2 - Maiden Test Flight

Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад

Raw, uncut (and brief) flight footage can be seen at: ruclips.net/video/f1cyLzdgOdY/видео.html I finally got to test-fly "Frank Three" and everything felt just wonderful. If anything the 20g shell makes it smooth out and fly even better. The bird does not feel weighed down at all, though I'm sure it would probably affect 3D performance. I ordered the body in November but the landing skid was no...

C187 / BL2 Hatch Solution

Просмотров 1 тыс.Год назад

I figured out a way to keep the loose hatch from falling off and getting lost in flight. All it took was the tiny spring from a disposable lighter, a little sheet metal screw small enough to screw into the spring snuggly and a set of pointy needle nose piers to bend a "C"-shaped hook on the spring's opposite end to anchor to the helicopter shell, looped around one of the peg-and-hole posts that...

C187 / MCPX BL2 first test run-up

Просмотров 3,4 тыс.Год назад

(UPDATE) Maiden flight here: ruclips.net/video/BZk5cwFKad4/видео.html First power test of my latest monster-merger between the new C187 and an MCPX BL2 this time. A tighter fit than the C186, but I think I can make this work. It's almost like having an advanced builder scale body kit for the BL2, only harder to adapt and apply.
