Can’t leave the kinetic out of a little video action π

On board with a Viggen…
A little on board video, think it was a bit close to the fuz though, may have to try a different position next time π
Smoking from a planes perspective.
Still having a little fun with the camera I had one of them bright ideas…
Lets stick a smoker on the tail of the plane and see what it does…
Thankfully it didn’t burn the tail π
The Phantom streamer nicker of old Tanworth Lane
Adding a streamer onto the tail of your plane can be loads of fun, so I thought it would be the perfect time to test my new Mobius camera.
Now I’d heard a rumour about a pilot called “The Phantom streamer nicker of old Tanworth Lane” so I attached a small streamer to try and lure him out.
Sit back, switch to big screen and put the playback settings on 1080HD, enjoy π
Could have sworn I saw something buzzing around then, maybe a bigger streamer would help π
So let these videos be a cautionary tale to anyone who flys with a streamer, he is out there somewhere,
watching…
waiting…
will your streamer be next?
FT Viggen Test Flight
Thought I would give my Viggen a quick test flight today before I finish decorating it,
unfortunately I forgot the connector lead so I could use my 4 cell batteries, will have to try that next time π
Polaris Video
Have managed to combine two video’s in one, for your viewing pleasure…
Enjoy π
EDF wings
I’ve had and been given a few ideas on how to combine a wing and EDF unit, most of which I couldn’t wait to try,
then a friend showed me what they had done. Basically just laminating some depron and cutting out a hole to house
the EDF unit.
Well I couldn’t resist giving it a try, and after a brief discussion with Chris we decided to give it a go, and this was the outcome…
Great little fun jet
When Mel sent me the video for this plane, I thought I gotta give it a go, there is no plan to build off you just have to follow the video here…
The first (of many) problems was the weight of the foam board, the stuff they can get in America is much lighter, so I decided to have a go at building mine from mainly depron with balsa wood for extra support.
I started with a balsa base and built up from there…
Had to make the fuz a little bigger as I wasn’t doing the side folds in the build video…
I still tried the EDF unit in for size, once happy I stuck it in with double sided tape
For the wing I took two pieces of depron, stuck together with cross weave tape, then carried on the same as the video…
I folded it over, and also added a carbon rod for support. The ailerons I made out of balsa…
I added some more cross weave tapeΒ when I stuck the wing on…
The tail section I added some thin carbon rod for support and again used balsa for the control surface…
And for the finished plane…
Flew great…
Just a shame I forgot EDF’s need air speed to stay up… Ooops
