Giant Slow Ultra Stick

[technoid]

I mapped the battery, motor esc, and receiver today and painted the labels orange for now. I'll add some label detail later. But I decided for this plane to go back to my old way of doing it. Add enough detail to make it look nice but not try to be perfect with it. Plus I'm having some health issues so I can't focus on perfection right now. The landing gear still isn't finished I haven't decided for sure how I want to fasten it to the fuselage. And I may move the receiver to the bottom like the other parts. And there will be some wiring in the end.

Looking GREAT Tech., !!!.. get well.

I did two more things this morning. I attached the gear to the fuselage and made the "wheel" part of the tire a little smaller. Looking at the real plane my wheel was a little large compared to it. So now the tire part is a little thicker, which does seem to look nicer.

Yeah.. I'll probably stick with the regular tires on this plane.

Not much to report. I tweaked the gear bracket that fastens it to the fuselage so the gear can flex without showing and added some chamfer to the motor mount and then moved the receiver to the bottom of the fuselage. I'll add some wiring later but right now I'm just adding the main parts. It's getting about time to rescale it to 87 inches (2m). I also need to add the brackets that fasten the wing to the fuselage. I also may go back and round off the wingtips more like a foam wing. (not sure yet)

I started working on the wing mounting. I thought the giant version needed to be a little more solid so I made the wing saddle a bit more significant. Of course it will be painted the same as the color scheme, this is just an in-work look.

I think this is going to be a fun plane just to kick back relax and enjoy some gentle flying. It's looking really good.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking too, just a slow gentle relaxing flyer.

Sarebbe da fare i carrelli come nella vita reale sarebbe piu divertente

 

[technoid]

It would be more fun to make the trolleys as in real life

I'm not sure what you mean?

 

[Bill Stuntz]

I got a different translation: It would be to do the carts as in real life it would be more fun
And I don't understand either.

 

[TiziFly10]

I'm not sure what you mean?

sarebbe anche piu bello e piu realistico ma quello che voglio dire e sarebbe farlo uguale alla vita reale e anche il rimbalzo delle ruote

 

[technoid]

It would also be more beautiful and more realistic but what I want to say is it would be the same as real life and also the bounce of the wheels

Yes the springy gear adds some bounce when landing if you don't flare it just right.

I just added the rear wing mount.

I started working on the brackets for the battery, motor esc, and receiver.

excellent you gotta love the detail you have going on technoid

Thanks Doug I appreciate your comment.

 

[technoid]

I just finished adding the rest of the brackets for the battery, motor esc, and receiver.

 

[technoid]

I guess this is the last brackets for the parts.
