RC F-117A Stealth build

Yeah...
I think it will end in disaster, I have never flown anything like this. (I think a bigger one will be more stable) I think speed is what keeps this one in the air.
I tried to build it as fast as I could, I didnt take in account how fast it will be and maybe should have taken more time with the rigidity of it.
We will see, I had to paint it due to the sun. I dont think white on top and bottom on a bright day will work out.
I painted the top black and the bottom red.
pics in a min, paint is drying.

Thats what I was thinking but disaster or success its a lovely model I was interested on how you set the flaps up to work.

Good luck with the maden flight

Krown Kustoms:
The transmitter has an option called flaperons, it mixes the elevator and aeleron control together.
It took a minute to set up (the thing is smarter than I am) I had to reverse one servo and adjust the travel, because it made the flaps verticle at full turn and thats more or less a brake. :scratch: maybe I can utilize that feature :poke:
Two servos do the work of four.
It looks a lot better with paint (it covers the flaws). :D Its taking for ever to dry due to the cold. :doh:

The big one wont have clear tape on it, that is just a quick holder for the glue joints -did I mention the glue dosent work very well, I should have used my usual stuff- :bang:

Bernd:
Looks real interesting B.

It is rather small when comparing it to the sofa cushion. With those colors it shouldn't be an trouble telling if your flying right side up or not. Be interesting to see a video of it fly, but I guess you'll have your hands full just trying to control it.

Didn't know it could get below freezing down your way.  :)

Looks pretty good. Nice contrasting colours to help with the orientation. I'll be watching for flight reports.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:
