"This will be long term project. I hope to have the first assembly complete and flying in May 2017.
Once I have everything where I'm happy I'll produce a couple for further testing.
This isn't a commercial exercise but if anyone wants one I'll be…"
"Thanks Roger, I'll have a look. I'm really interested in a blended wing for this project. I picked the x8 as a test run as its well known and people have plenty of hours flying experience with that wing. Meaning I can get a lot of feed back on the…"
"Cheers for the advice Ronald. I'll have a look at the foil and run some simulations and tweak it accordingly.
Had a quick look at Alta Devices. They look very nice, I'll have a chat to Rich Kapusta when I'm in the final stages of the design.
Thanks…"
"@Tommy: Hi That would be very cool. As I mentioned I plan to modify the design to take my payload.
Once I have the design where I want it I will CNC the patterns from Epoxy tooling block. The mould tools will be laminated from carbon in an…"
"@Ronald- I am open to other models. Do you know where I could find the models? I pan to build a few in Carbon with solar cells laminated into the upper surfaces.
Any help would be appreciated."
"Can some one please tell me the best way to mount the RFD modems. I can mount it with double sided foam tape or I can mechanically fasten it with screw mounts and spacers.
If I hard mount it will it be affected by vibration?
"Hi Esteban,
My answer would be neither!
Reason: when you say fiberglass I am assuming you mean Polyester resin and glass fibre (normally chop strand matt)?
Neither material is good for a core material. In a structural sense the cellular bond…"
"Hi Graham, In most cases the Joystick config works as intended. I am able to use the auto detect, but there are limits, for instance the channel options will see the joystick axis movement but they will not see the button activation and only record…"
"Hi Graham, I have tried that and I can map Roll (rudder) on the Rz and Throttle on the slider. I tried the auto detect on the buttons but it only detects the slider.
Are you saying I can pick a button and change the "ChangeMode" to DO_SET_SERVO and…"
