Dev photos for Open Airframe , an open source airframe i will be publishing based on THE EZG
MADE OF:balsa , plywood ,1 EZG kit ,CF tail boom and a couple 2 litter coke bottles for the clear plasticthe holes along the side are for mounting modular equipment racks that can slide in from the top.
I am trying to work a Makerbot/Reprap printable airplane. I love your approach on this. I have been having a heck of a time on the wings... but just using EZG wings would make my life SO much easier. Can't wait till you publish them! Likely will make my design obsolete, I hope :)
sorry about the pics guys , migrating my server.and i am open sourcing a cnc machine i have the machine up and running just need to finish drafting it . also a guy could always use a jig saw and paper patterns .and the foam comes from multi-plex. i will be sharing dxf and G-code files
@ Krzysztof , that's exactly what I plan to offer . Modular trays customized for whatever camera . i will probably offer a few trays for popular cameras . as far as exposing a downward camera i plan on using bomb-bay doors . i don't like clear plastic as it always collects dust a dirt which can ruin a flight.
@Thomas I have two set ups I am going to try
combo #1: efight park 450 ,castle creations thunderbird 18 ,3-cell LiPo ,APC 10x8
for approx 33.1 ounces static thrust
14.1 full throttle amps
8:56 minutes full throttle duration
combo #2: eflight power10 , thundrbird 54 ,3-cell LiPo , apc 10x7
for approx 56.7 ounces static thrust
30.6 full throttle amps
4:07 minutes full throttle duration
combo #1 will be good for long duration with 3.25 lbs weight
combo #2 will be good for up to 4.4 lbs
just a quick check at tower gave me this EZG-E for $79.99 i didnt see it being sold at tower but the pure glider goes for $60 approx . i could make my own wings but they wouldn't be EPP also you can get replacement wings for like $40.I hope to make the kits available for around $50you just add EZG and tailboom
