@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.

@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 !!

just to give you a rough comparison :

microfilm can be as delicate as a soap bubble.

A very impressive build.
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.
