Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: K K Iyer on November 16, 2016, 07:56:33 PM @kiran rc,
Master Kiran (as you should be addressed by oldies like me!) Got microfilm from Australia? You mean you didn't make it yourself... By pouring some dope with a few drops of castor oil added, into a pan of water, judging the thickness by the number of coloured rings, picking it up with a wire frame, then laying it upon your wing? ;D @saikat, Sir, Is this correct or is my memory playing tricks? I suppose that with time, some techniques (or maybe just memories) will eventually fade away... Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: kiran rc on November 16, 2016, 08:19:23 PM @KK Iyer
Sir, I guess making the microfilm at home is hazardous? Am I right? I am rather concentrating more upon the electronics than the building materials. I got mine from Korea and not Australia. I just gave one of the sources. Anyways, the one which can be homemade is very thin, used in f1d rubber powered planes. It's going be around half a micron. It may not hold any good for an electric model. Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: kiran rc on November 16, 2016, 08:23:12 PM @Saikat
Sir, have you tried making microfilm? If yes, would like to know more about it. Thanks, Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: saikat on November 16, 2016, 10:03:49 PM @KK - you are absolutely correct regarding the microfilm.
@kiran rc - yes I have tried making microfilm - and yes ... your intution is correct it would be far too delicate to stand up to the inertia of an electric RC model. - very impressive build - you have a delicate touch - well done !! Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: K K Iyer on November 16, 2016, 10:11:49 PM @glidiator,

Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: saikat on November 17, 2016, 09:04:17 AM just to give you a rough comparison :
microfilm can be as delicate as a soap bubble.

Congratulation. Where from you get the electronics ? An homemade prop ? Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' 8 inch Ultra light slowflyer Post by: kiran rc on November 24, 2016, 07:06:44 AM :thanks:
Motor- Aliexpress Rx- homemade Actuator- homemade(extracted the wire from an electronic relay) RX- homemade, using PIC10F200 and PIC12F629 Battery- from korea. Even available at Aliexpress. And for the prop... planned to use a gearbox but couldn't find an appropriate prop,hence used the prop of 'D1 drone' which is available at Banggood.
