RC F-117A Stealth build

<< < (3/6) > >>

Russel:
In one of the photos it looks like a spectrum AR6100E receiver, are you using a DX7 transmitter?

Krown Kustoms:
Bernd, the size is about 25" long, and we get plenty of cold here, just not the snow.
It is 34deg this morning.

Dsquire, I almost had a flight yesterday, but realized just before that my left right orientation is backwards -dont need that-, also with it getting late the wind picked up as the sun was going down. I added wheels for a rolling take off due to the akward way to throw it. I dont want to get bit by the prop.

Russel, Thats the one, I am using a DX6i. I borrowed the electronics from one of my helicopters (Blade 400)

Good luck with the maiden voyage.

25" that's not to bad. I thought is was shorter. Still I bet it'll be a bear to fly.

Again good luck.

Bernd

Krown Kustoms:
Well....

I tried a ground take off and no luck. (very fast on the ground)
I have adjusted the landing gear to be nose up, and will try again tomorow.
If all else fails I have a two story deck and can easily throw it from there for a test flight. (I dont really want to)
I dont have a lot of room so it will be just a stability flight with little turns. (trees)
I have read a lot of bad reviews of the F-117A due to stability so I might have to make this one a wall hanger if it dosent impress me. No reason to build a larger one if this one flies like a brick.
I wont scratch the whole idea, just for now. I would rather spend time on finishing the things I have left to work on this one.
until tomorow...

bogstandard:
B,

I love your attitude.

If it works, great, if it doesn't, shrug your shoulders and try something else.

Sometimes we should all do that, instead of carrying on trying to fix a lost cause.

Admirable.
