A friend of mine suggested me to build Blue-Baby as my first scratch build. So here we go...

I got the tiled plan from rc-groups and as of now just printed them out & cut them by scissors..

Tomorrow will lay these paper cut outs on the foam and do a surgery..

Using a 5mm sheet for the entire build..any suggestions ?

Check out the pic....

dnt forget to use carbon rods for stiffening the structure

Thanks flying_g..

I guess carbon rods are must..still lets see how it turns out to be..

doing the surgery today..wish me luck...

use 2mm coro for wing as entire structure with 5mm will be quiet heavy as my experience says.
Sandeep

Going with a powerful enough power system would also work, right ?

Sorry not to be specific on my reply....agree to Anwar..........

Am using a rcforall 2212/13 motor , 9gm servos, 30 amp esc and I guess will go in for 1800 mah..

Sandeep It wont be heavy..one of the guys on our field has made a 3D plane completely out of 8mm and he uses this motor... So no worries..

Surgery in the night or evening..

cheers..

Atul - What happened to this

Hi Anwar,

The blue baby is resting in peace  Not getting time to do any RC activity...

Like to thank sandeep he repaired one of my burnt motor so let's hope I get sometime..

I am finishing the landing gear on a 40" version

All the best for finding time for R/C soon!

Its about time I did something about this thread and high time I uploaded some pics of my build.

So here goes..Modified the blue cub & made a wing from depron 8mm..

Got an aluminium hollow rod, bend it in between and put it on the 40" wing..

Will maiden her next weekend  .

The setup is tower pro combo 

Cheers..

cool!

Hey, its turned out awesome! Do you have any pics of the build process?

Hello..thank you people.

no am afraid no pics of the build.

Waiting to maiden her. I guess she will be a smooth flyer..

cheers.

Hey Atul, the wing is depron and the fuse is coro right?

Everything is depron..

Combination of 5mm for the fuselage and 8mm wing..

Nice       

Hey guys started with the BB42" build today will update with pics soon 

How was the maiden??

Best of luck!!!

Video upload - Blue Baby Maiden

Excellent Atul 

Thanks Dileep..

It was nice to see it fly! superb work dude!

Fantastic Atul... got to see something new from you after a long time..
but i am curious to know one thing...what resolution of video you have shoot..it is a perfect square..have you done some sort of editing???

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep..

Thanks..Been busy with work, hence the delay..

I used my camera to shoot this video..Its a canon power shot..Did no editing just converted it to .avi..

cheers..

Nice to see it in the air

Looks like you have to reduce your throws, or add a good amount of expo.

Bang on anwar..The throws were too much..prady helped me reduced the throws by using the dual rates..

Infact was just checking this link..

http://www.rmfm.org/dual_rates_and_exponential1.htm

beautiful bird and it was great to witness the maiden.
BTW why are you converting the video cant you directly upload the file you got from the camera.

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/question-dual-rates-and-exponential/  is pretty good for this.

Good Effort

congrats 

Hey guys. I am planning to make a blue baby 42 inch model  and as per the plan I should use blue or pink foam for monobloc. And wing should be Kfm3 with dihedral. I have folllowing questions. Please help  .
1. Can I make a Kfm3 without dihedral? Not very comfortable with dihedral .
2.  Will Kfm2 wing work?
3. Can I use normal foam (one used for packaging) for monobloc  ?
4. Styrofoam which is 1 inch thick can be used for making fuselage/wing .

bump. Basically my doubt is styrofoam of 1 inch thickness can be used for what purposes. common guys.

Dinesh, Use hot wire cutter and you can get the desired thickness foam sheets as you want.

Use 5mm thickness biofoam (depron) for fuse and wings.
I made monobloc using 1 inch thick regular thermacol. However you need to make it tougher using fiber reinforced tape.It gains good strength with it.
Use fiber tape on leading edges as well as trailing edges.

Hope this helps.

what electronics should be used while building a blue baby?

please reply fast sir

can you please post a list of all the parts which you used while building your blue baby

5)can the battery be put under fuse to adjust cg

6)5mm styro foam do

Go for 3S battery and your blue baby can do acrobatics.
I have used 1000mAh 3S battery with 10A ESC, 2204 motor and 7x6 prop. 7x3.5 would be better. But with 7x6 prop, I have to limit throttle upto 60%.
My Coro 24" WS plane AUW is 270 gm.

sir i just want slow flying 24bb what about my electronic which i already have,will d bb 24ws b good for small grounds

is your Coro 24" WS plane AUW  270 gm.a slow flyer
