Airforce1: Mtchew....

Something that even a nursery school pupil can build.

Just wasted my MB clicking on dis thread.

maxani: I fly a DJI phanthom quadrocopter. Any one else here?

Natasha,,:
Okay when I clicked this topic I was expecting to see a guy with a life size plane you know rich nairalander that just acquired a brand new aircraft posing with it. But all thesame nice work.

Drones?

johnwell: Naijarianz>>>>> these are toy remote controlled jets, i still have more than 50 in my shop now..

Wallie:

Actually, I'm trying to sell my fixed wing not the quad. The autopilot is an open source based arduino controller. I'll send you an email.

alpha conde: Are these not drones?

Kennisdlast: I have some knowledge on remote sensing as a geologist and wish to continue in that field.Do you have an idea on how to get access to Air force, maybe for short term service or get the full training I need?

Sidajili: Designed in Nigeria, built/assembled in China or Designed in China, built/assembled in Nigeria... bottom line is, skill, knowledge and experience is required to achieve either. Both design and build/assembly skills compliment each other and are both vital in technology..

For those still not understanding that the words 'build' and 'assemble' are synonymous, these might help:


build (verb) - construct (something, typically something large) by putting parts or material together over a period of time. "the factory was built in 1936"
synonyms: construct, erect, put up, assemble;


assemble (verb) - fit together the separate component parts of (a machine or other object).
"a factory that assembled parts for trucks"
synonyms: construct, build, fabricate, manufacture, erect, set up, put together, piece together, connect, join..

Sidajili:


Well researched. The smart ones should be able to connect a few dots together... take a closer look...

This thread is meant to be Technical and informative to the technology savvy nairalanders. Anybody can be interested in technology even if its not Their discipline. we have lawyers cutting balsa wood and building airframes... and guys, It's just a discussion... And in that spirit, If u have something, bring it to the table. If you have nothing, come to the table, listen and learn. We are networking via this thread and not self promoting...

Sidajili: Any Nairalander out there building and flying RC rotary or fixed wing Aircraft models of any scale? Lets discuss and get this thread going.

Sidajili:

Awesome! Are you building a quad? Kindly expand more on your proposed build... I am interested. We sure will need a dedicated section on Nairaland real soon. Admins, please.

It was the colour of the plane on the right of your first picture that made me suspicious, then "Wow! He looks so much darker! What happened?".

telexfree1:

WTF
What if the NAF engineer who oversees the design, construction and deployment of this technology is a member of Nairaland ?
You think everyone on Nairaland is a teenager ?
