@ Maclee.
Thanks alot on that info

randwise: Am thinking of making a toy car that can be powered by the sun... Pls, what do u think?
My number is 08131137576.. I have gotten a board and some tyre materials..
Making a solar cell is my textbook and ehow search now..

@Randwise.

I appreciate your determination. However,i won't advice you on what to do because, you're begining to derail this thread!!
I don't like that as an idea. Not in the slightest!
Suppose you go and open a new thread about your project?
We'll all come there to support and chip in,as far as our ability may carry.
if you actualy want to ask such questions here. And you acknowledge it aint at par,with the current said topic.. You may do so.. But include a link where we can all go,and give our inputs.
With due respect. Please don't slip that kind of talk here,and expect to get some sort of answer from me; you won't get it.
Once more. I congratulate you on you progress so far. Open your thread,and i shall give you a clue,how you can use cheap white leads,as a voltaic cell. It's a chance although.
Not much of a chance though.
But at least,a chance....

@ Maclee

Thanks brother.
I've read a little about arduino in the past. However,i dont know much about them. But i do know they behave like a computer,by virtue of there programmability. And they stuffs like;taking a certain input/inputs and outputing a certain output/outputs and other stuffs,in respect to what you programmed it to do.
I'll take a pretty look at them.
Anyway,how did you order for the package? As in how did you made the payment. Paypal?

I once contacted hobbyking's customer care. That was some 4 months ago,when i needed a Tx and Rx so badly. I hadn't a paypal so they told me to pay through western union. The enormity of the price has killed for good all hope i had,of succeeding.
I can shop in Hobbyking and be sure to receive it. I have seen their shipping options. It includes Fedex express and Ems express. All these couriers have a branch office in my state.

Thanks alot for your efforts.

Stop spaming this forum! I'll see you'r banned!

Big thanks man. I have definitely suspended that blog.

readytofly: i have three new 450 size servos, a 450 ESC, an HK401 gyro and a 450 motor that i can send to you.
please let me know your full address so i can calculate the shipping fee.

@Readytofly

Thanks alot man. I really apreciate. You'r such a brother....
Please,here's my residential address;



Ehimiri Housing Estate,No.45,Zone 'C'. Umuahia,Abia state. Nigeria.

readytofly: hello pakingzzz, congratulations, you are an incredible engineer!

@readytofly

thanks for your commendation

@donskills

Thanks alot donskills... Actually,i would've maiden way back. But i have been set back by a couple of parts,which i couldn't scratch build,as had other parts. These are the parts; 6 channel Tx/Rx,3pcs of micro servos with this specifications(1.2kg torque),a brushless motor(11.1v, 200watt),ESC(11.1V,25Amps),1 yaw rate gyro,a pair of composite blades {(400mm radius)in case my home made wooden blades fails me,due to a crash)}.
Thanks alot,once more.

D Don1: Look, if u really want to know if the helicopter is going to fly, connect it direct to a dc supply, maybe on the wall, if it flies, then u kw it's actually going to fly.

If i can recall correctly,there isn't anywhere on this thread where i hinted that i was unsure,if the heli would fly.
Suffice it to say that,when you push the throttle stick to around 75% and you hooked a 12v dc to the heli,it hops up and leaps into the air.
Note!! Running such a test would require some one holding the tail. Not unless you want to end up with a premature crash.

So i aint in doubt if the heli will fly or not. What i'm in doubt is:if Sidajili will keep his own end of his promise. He apparently seems non responsive.

It does fly up,but i would have to be holding the tail,owin to the fact that there isn't any single servo there,to give it elevator and airleron control.

Wallie: @Pakingzzz

What size heli do you have (450, 500 or 600 class) and which parts are your major stumbling block? Take a look at the sites below to give you a better idea:

@Wallie

Nice link. Very technicaly educating.
Thanks though. Actualy i have here a 1kg heli size.
The parts that are my major stumbling blocks are as follows: A Tx/Rx,3 Servos,2 ESC,Lipolymer battery,1 Yaw rate gyr and a proper brushless motor.
Although Sidajili has promised to help out with all these listed items. He appears to be extremly busy. So the hope of getting them continues to get thinner. For he might as well have forgotten...
The Tx/Rx i am using to test the heli currently,has only 3 practical channels. And the least number of channels one needs to fly a fixed pitch heli is just 4 channels. So you see why this Tx/Rx aint going to be useful....

D Don1: It's like that tail rotor consumes some space and add extra weight. There is a homemade helicopter that does not have tail

@D Done1
what you see in that video is a tail rotor test,not a lift up test.
The tail rotor does not occupy any space there. It is just at it's home.
That is just the lightest i could shrink that tail rotor to,without having to compromise the structural strength(a vital factor when building air vehicles)..

Here's a video of the heli during the testing of the tail rotor....... It was real aggresive

Heli on a car....

The new remodification created room for many things to be installed. But one has to resist that temptation if you recall that,in heli world. You pay dearly for an ounce or some little grams introduced.....

The main motor runs too hot. So a little fan was installed in between the rotor shaft and the motor. Notice the black fan and the suspended little motor in the middle......

The heli during remodification....

The heli is tail heavy. Notethe battery sitting on the nose to counter it this weight..).

Close-up shot of the tail rotor.....

Note!!!!....... The tail rotor isn't horizontal as one may think. It has some properties in the 'Z' Axis.
As a matter of importance. It is tilted to an angle of is an 75 degrees and not 90 degrees,as it may seem to appear.
