Here,i am building the rear landing gear.

Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 10:40am On Oct 22, 2014 |
Almost done,save for the fact that it aint yet spring-loaded

Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 6:30pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
Installing the rear landing gear to the rear wing.

Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 6:33pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
The top of the metal rod is bent 90 degrees to the right,then 90 degrees to the left. This design was studiously done so.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 6:43pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
The designing and building goes on.

Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 6:59pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
Fixed the rudder.

Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:01pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
Fabricating the rudder fin.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:05pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
The fin installed.

All thanks to you all for your comments. |

Now on to the main wings. I decided to start by building the ailerons. I started designing the aileron hinge,using aluminuim for weight issues.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 6:51pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Went on to attach the arm for the servo pushrod.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:02pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Then i installed a ball link for the servo pushrod. I love ball links... When you need a hinge with a 2 axis freedom of movement,they come exceptionally handy,owing to their high performance in reducing frictions encountered with a 2 axis freedom of movement joint. Also known as a ball joint. 1 Share

Next,i fixed the setup to my aileron,which i just fabricated. I did this using electric tapes.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:05pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Here's the two ailerons.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:09pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
And here' my main wing.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:11pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
I needed to fix some sort of gig on to the wing,to hold the aileron hinge . So i started by cuting a rectangular sheet from an alumium sheet.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:24pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
The little holes you see,are going to make a threaded concept on the black metal rod,thus gripping it in place.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:25pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
I went on to attach the main wing on to the chasis.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:28pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Holes are bored into the chasis,and a copper wire pass into it,to be recovered at the top of the wing. I mean the flipped side.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:29pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Here's the recoverd copper wire.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:33pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
You can't just twist those two wires. They would simply cut through the white foam if pressure a imposed on them. So the best thing to do here is to have a metal to go under the wires. I cut out a partiall square aluminuim sheet,and gave them two holes.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:34pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Then i cut the edges,so i could have them bent.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:35pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
So i bent them.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:36pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
I needed six of them. So i made.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:37pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Fixing the aluminuim sheets,and twisting the wires.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:39pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Had some twisting to be done.
|
Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:41pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
After fixing her.

Close up shot of the rudder view.

Re: Homebuilt Radio Control Airplane by Pakingzzz(m): 7:48pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
It was time to start installing some of the electronic gadgets that's needed. I already had mine handy. These include a Tx,Rx,servo,gyro,speed controller and brushless motor. In the pix below are the servo,Rx(receiver) and a gyro. 1 Like
