nikos Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Can you send me a foto of your recorded real start up to see thecharacteristics (dimensions and the voltage for operation) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Ah, I said I wanted to! Haven’t done it yet. The motors & lights work but they are just linked up to a 2 AA battery pack. That means they are on or off. However you could easily wire in a rotary resistance switch on each so they could be started up slowly. Or route everything through an Arduino control board. This is the Herc running - flashing anti collision is running from an Arduino board. It’s too fast but I haven’t got around to fixing that. The motor switch on sequence and speed could all run through the board if I got around to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hello Nikos, Following your WIP with great interest. I have just finished one from the German Navy. (Shortly to see on this website) Success with the built. Think of the counterbalance, because it is a tail sitter. Even with lots of weight. Regards, Orion - The Netherlands.

nikos Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Thank you back side. Thank you Orion. I try to put in any nose part holes, weight to balance it. I calculated it wants 95 gr weight. I fulled the under nose radar with metallic (Pb) spheres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Fantastic details Nikos. I'll be using this thread and your work as reference when I'll be doing my own. /Bosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Thank you Marlin Design of electrical parts. Two circuits. Parallel connections to have constant power on all individual components 1st circuit A 9 volt battery with a resistor For engines and expedition lights. Two 16,000 rpm / min motors will be included in a separate circuit. I will try to stick on this circuit the two expedition lights (green red) at the ends of the wings with very small cmds. Because the wing is not thick, I will have to pass the very fine threads by drilling on the outside under the wing about 2 cm before the edge. That amount of volts in the motor circuit in parallel, I believe, to power those two power-hungry LEDs. The prerequisite is the success of a very thin gluing because their size is about twice the head of a pin. Second circuit A 4.5 volt battery without resistance Exterior and interior lighting Exterior lighting. Landing-take-off lights An SMD LED will be inserted into the nasal wheel. I will drill the front wheel cover as the instructions say and I will glue the round clear plastics which are the lights. From behind will enter a strong smd led which with the diffusion will reveal the transparent round plastics which they illuminate. Space is limited. Search-Rescue Wing Lighting There will be two leds in a row Red light at the top of the fuselage. I don't have a card to flash it independently. A steady red LED will be inserted. For information, if a flashing LED is installed without a special card, the entire circuit will be interrupted depending on the switching on and off of this LED. Everything will flash. The upper bouts featured two cutouts, for easier access to the upper frets. I thought about putting optical fiber but the interior space is limited to place the fiber infrastructure as well as its angle which should be 90 degrees Armory warehouse light An LED will be placed on its ceiling and it will light up towards the tarmac Interior lighting. Strong tape immediately behind the cockpit and placing red jelly in the access opening to the forward viewing area. This is done to illuminate spaces differently with an LED in order to reduce the demand for power. One led in the main space of the fuselage and one led at the rear of the fuselage at the rear entry opening. Circuit terminals The two circuits will have two wires respectively, for the positive pole and one for the negative. left wheels. A pair parallel inside the fuselage along the longitudinal axis which will result in a connection to the right wheel socket (via the right wing). Each pair of cables will end up in each wheel system. We do not put them all in the same circuit (lights, motors) because the amount of energy that will be demanded from these motors will not leave any excess for the lights, especially the SMD LEDs. I believe they will work. We will see in practice why electricity is a little unpredictable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikos Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 The interior was glued after lights were placed on the entrance staircase, in the main compartments of the cockpit ammunition depot and a red backlight. Resistors have been installed at red lights to reduce load consumption so that all LEDs light up. From the placement of the LEDs, I understood that for everything to work together i.e. red, smd and common LEDs, resistors must be placed in the first two, otherwise they will not light up not all together. I think I will close the fuselage soon. It remains to make a connection for an SMD LED to the front wheel lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikos Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Final electric test. Big problem the application of wings to fuselage. The design and the quality of plastic are very bad. I became surgeon to make them correct. Edited November 24, 2020 by nikos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escaflowne Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 A particular plane with a special look (in real and in scale building) Not an easy job to add motors and light. good luck for the final work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
