Title: FT Baby Blender v2 build for 2015 sweepstakes Post by: jayantpradhan on June 28, 2015, 12:03:49 AM hello everyone! here's my first entry for 2015 sweepstakes. its FT Baby Blender v2 from flitetest.com . i started this build 10 days ago on 17th June, but due to busy schedule i'm posting it now..
So here we go, For this build i have used 5mm depron and for the electronics i have emax cf2812 (rewinded) , 9x4 prop , redbrick 30a esc , emax 9g servos, and 2200mah 20c 3-cell lipo.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UUgI9xDZtfc/VY6qqJ8IJ9I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/ImPesEHjN6o/s1280/3.JPG) Started with the wings.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NnPCnebxBCY/VY6rZy87_wI/AAAAAAAAAWY/ScAAPhfpPTo/s1280/8.JPG) glued the spar. (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xXOn-o7sa0A/VY6reMtx_-I/AAAAAAAAAWg/7Y3Hw8uSyZ0/s1280/9.JPG) since 5mm depron is brittle while folding, so reinforced it with tape on the other side so that i can make the wing structure easily.

support for the holder:- (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7mBJsMBhSCI/VY6q2PbWWkI/AAAAAAAAASk/UVi-jJzmP1I/s1280/41.JPG) glued two Velcro straps to hold the battery in place (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GlnFhra6T3w/VY6q5MIjyBI/AAAAAAAAAS8/s2k9mML9LF8/s1280/43.JPG) added railings to the plate (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dpDP8LUUI34/VY6q5Fy4I9I/AAAAAAAAAS4/iHr4mTmmax4/s1280/44.JPG) glued it into the support and attached two carbon rods back and front for the rubber band to hold the wings (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FkhxRfSAcKo/VY6q7y18SbI/AAAAAAAAATU/O5VDRzDPyTM/s1280/47.JPG) (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-agbqlZvZoHs/VY6q7m5ojwI/AAAAAAAAATY/Qd7IxyXepkc/s1280/48.JPG) Title: Re: FT Baby Blender v2 build for 2015 sweepstakes Post by: jayantpradhan on June 28, 2015, 03:34:43 AM now the fun part building the wheels .

first flight:- it was funny that i thought it will fly , eagerly increasing the throttle :salute: :salute:, ready to fly in the sky but then this happened:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpDr-i80eyo :giggle: :giggle: i ruined my self confidence :headscratch:, prop stuck on grass.... and what a flip..... Title: Re: FT Baby Blender v2 build for 2015 sweepstakes Post by: jayantpradhan on June 29, 2015, 12:52:34 AM second flight:-
after recovering from the land flip stunt ;D , i was ready to fly it again.. and please ignore the burp , that was my friend who took his lunch few minutes before... :giggle: :giggle:.. and also the recording button paused for few seconds that's why there's a micro gap in the video... so enjoy.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rAMcRMNUXc and yes i crash landed the plane but nothing happened to it.. the plane flies great and handles pretty well.. its a little tail heavy and the motor was making unusual noises so will change it later on but for the time being Mission Accomplished.... and at last a snap from the field:- (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D2MxvkYKr8U/VZBLy7HQ-OI/AAAAAAAAAY8/AtHsbP9uIFg/s1280/33.jpg) Title: Re: FT Baby Blender v2 build for 2015 sweepstakes Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 29, 2015, 06:56:17 AM Very nice {:)} {:)} {:)}
Where was the 3D though?

(3D means when you are actually flying below stall speed) Title: Re: FT Baby Blender v2 build for 2015 sweepstakes Post by: tantragna on June 29, 2015, 11:03:52 AM Very nice flight!
