Fly High




Friends Soon after the first attempt of micro flyer, Rather than modifying the flyer decided to make another..
This time Choosing a 40Mhz Receiver and transmitter(got from an old 3.5ch heli)
But thing is that the receiver weighs about 10gms  Sad
managed to get the total weight reduced to 39gms incl the 1s lipo.. Smiley
The wingspan is 400mm..
Here is the build pics..
Currently i am uploading this for the sweep(dont know whether it qualifies or not), But planning for another 28" slow 3d flyer befor the sweep.. Smiley

As the 3.5 channel heli has a tail motor i managed to get a channel for the rudder..
Added a small coil for the rudder and not can control the rudder with that channel.. Smiley
And the elevator is slightly facing upwards so that increasing the throttle will make it go up..   Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Now everything is ready and the bench test also The only problem(which is a secret actually) is that the rudder is turning by moving the lest control sticks to up down positions Giggle Giggle Giggle
Trying to reverse it right now..  Cry Cry

there is nothing to show the connection just connect the 2 end of the coils to the tail motor pins in receiver.. change of polarity will make the actuator move both sides..
i had some coils lying around from an old radio.. bought the magnets and magnet holder from ebay.com 6-7 monts back..
i have 2 more here with coil installed.. Smiley

Wonderful.

Dear arun,

For actuator, Do you have any link to buy 1mmx1mm and 1mmx2mm magnets?

With connection i mean not the electric connection... i meant the way it is linked (control rod --if any).... you seem to explain so easily but i am not able to figure out HOW to make actuators.

@shivela I had seen some.. but they were very costly..  Sad
This one I purchased some Rc stuffs which are auctioned in Ebay 5-6 months befor, He was from China i guess...
Was selling some broken actuators and servo's nothing was working.. and the lot includes 4 9gm servos whihc are working and brand new..
I won the bid for just $3 and shipped it for another 5$
I thought it was free shipping while bidding  Tongue
Anyway i got almost 3-4 actuator broken 2 of them had magnets and holders.. I think sundaram sir can guide you to get some.. Smiley

No control rods are there The rudder is connected directly to the Actuator magnets so no need of any control rods..

Making an actuator is not easy.. Or else you can try to make a coil with 45 Gauge copper wire(6mm or 7mm)
and buy some strong magnets.. But still the magnet holder is a head ache.. I will send you some close up pics of my actuator for your reference okay?

How can i keep the actuator in the center position always when it is not powered up..
The rudder freely moves when not connecting and which make the plane turns massively while launching..

Use thin strips of the films like mobile scratch guard which you peel of before you apply to mobile for making hinge.  It has tension which will keep the rudder always straight till moved.

Or use a very small magnet of the size less than 1/6 the main magnet stuck out side the coil to center the hinge.
