Title: How do I create simplest electric flying machine?
Post by: atulrajguru9 on January 03, 2011, 07:14:31 PM
Hi Friends,

I need your advice to build the simplest plane/glider.

Here are some of my queries

1) Which brushless motor I should use?
2) Which ECS?
3) Which Lipo?
4) Which servos
5) I have 3 CH TX & RX so not planning to buy, but if you with you can post link of some good Tx Rx for the benefit of other users.

I have search on net and think that following brushless combo (Motor, prop, ecs) can be used(?)  - Price 1400

http://rcforall.co.in/product_info.php/cPath/10/products_id/234

For Lipo can I use following ? – Price 985

http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=58_59_94&products_id=434

Charger – is it good? Price 1280

http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=58_59_96&products_id=511


For servos –  Price 410 * 2 = 820

http://rcforall.co.in/product_info.php/cPath/3_4/products_id/428

Prop saver - 50
http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=58_59_93&products_id=405


Total cost is ( 1400 + 895 + 1280 + 820 + 50) 4445

Do you think it’s good combination?


I do not have idea about how much weight of my plane will be ? as I am not sure about the material or design. (I am thinking about coro as its very durable)
I am looking for your help to decide should be my first plane and what parts will go well for it.

Other think I had in mind that is the quality of products is good?

Or do you think I should order from hobbyking or somewhere else?


Thank you,
Atul

First you'll have to decide which plane you are going to build. Motor, ESC, prop etc depends on the plane you build. Forget the electronics for now, select a plan and start building. And if you live anywhere near baner don't forget to drop by at Pancard Clubs on weekend between 8.30Am to 11Am, we'll set you up :thumbsup:

Thank you for your reply.

I stay at Kharadi and prefer to go Hadapser gliding center  :) .. but sure I will try to visit Pancard club sometime.

Can you please recommend me any simplest plane?

If you have any link from where I can download the design then that would be great.

Regards,
Atul

Link you gave is really great but the design specification i.e Height, width, length etc etc ...is not there ..

I am looking for design which will have all the details so that i can cut those pieces glue them and my plane will be in proper proportion...

spitfire, links you gave are great. I appreciate your help.

I personally have bad experience with piper cub and Cessna kind of look like piper cub to me (http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/so-what's-your-rc-story/msg43289/#msg43289) and think that creating glider will be easy to build and easy to fly.
 
Can someone please provide me the design for glider please?

Thank you,
Atul

Post by: SunLikeStar on January 11, 2011, 10:40:20 AM
I think this will be a good first plane for you. I've seen Mohan's plane in action, its one of the most durable plane on our field. Here is the plan.

what is the thickness of coro


Title: Re: How do I create simplest electric flying machine?
Post by: SunLikeStar on January 11, 2011, 11:31:38 AM
use 3mm coro.
Note that in the above post (second image) the dimension is of a completed wing. Attached is the cutout for the wing. You'll have to fold it on the crease to make the wing.

Hello ritz,

I request you to read through the posts on the forum. You will learn a lot and 80% of your questions will be solved (in future). Since the equipment is expenssive having knowledge will go a long way in preventing unnecessary expenditure. :)


Title: Re: How do I create simplest electric flying machine?
Post by: KALYANPRODHAN on January 12, 2011, 03:00:55 AM
Rajathv8 have told the right thing.

Better purchase Mr. Moss kit complete (Without Radio) and fly first. Then use the servo, ESC, BL Motors, Battery, to your scratch build plane.

But, just read, read and read the forum post before making scratch build models.

Thanks.

Title: Re: How do I create simplest electric flying machine?
Post by: Nehutech on January 15, 2011, 11:07:15 PM
hi

please check RCDhhamaka website for the EasyStar it best plane for the beignner.
In Mr. moss u will have to take care of propller as it is in front but in Easy Star its
behind the wings. Easystar is really easy to fly as it is  made for beginner to learning FLYing.

Its my Point of View.

Post by: atulrajguru9 on January 17, 2011, 09:52:56 PM
EasyStar is good (very easy to fly .. excellent glide ...  very durable) but they have brushed setup in it... which is not that useful..if you upgrade to brush-less setup then you will get more efficiency .. more flying time...

Title: Re: How do I create simplest electric flying machine?
Post by: SunLikeStar on January 18, 2011, 07:42:59 PM
As already discussed two-three times on phone, you can build this plane with a straight wing but you wont be able to fly it.


Title: Re: How do I create simplest electric flying machine?
