Title: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on October 27, 2013, 07:10:52 PM Built a FT Nutball. My wife promptly said it looks like a Ladybug!
Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: prateek13 on October 27, 2013, 07:16:03 PM Looks good!
The stripes are vinyl stickers? Couldn't help but notice the FT Baby Blender in the background! Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on October 27, 2013, 07:19:46 PM Crashed on maiden >:D >:D
The wing folded along the centre-line in mid-air while doing a steep fast climb. Highly overpowered - 2826-1400KV on a 360 gm all-up-weight. But the real problem according to me was I used 'biofoam' which did not have the backing paper on both sides.It was brittle, and just not strong enough. Repair was easy, will put some reinforcement and start again ;D ;D Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on October 27, 2013, 07:22:32 PM Prateek, I used Coloured thin packing tape!
Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on October 27, 2013, 07:24:51 PM 1 hour marking :banghead:, 1 hour build, 1.5 hours electronics & controls
I filched the power pod from the Baby Blender - swappable means you got to swap :giggle: :rofl: Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: prateek13 on October 27, 2013, 07:36:18 PM For the non covered biofoam they best way maybe putting clear packing tape on the whole surface to give it a little rigidity and fibre tape at joints, control surfaces and cuts etc.
Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: VC on October 27, 2013, 07:57:12 PM Where did the pilot and the cockpit come from?
Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on October 27, 2013, 08:28:51 PM Keen observation as usual VC sir :salute: :salute:
Had the pilot lying around for some years. The cockpit is from some kitchen stuff that came in a vacuum formed card pack ;D. I generally purloin such stuff and stash away ;) ;) Title: Re: Re: FT Nutball Post by: aniket210696 on October 27, 2013, 10:05:20 PM is that cockpit a jelly container? :P ;)
Sent from a potato using a lamp - now mashed Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: romanxdsouza on October 31, 2013, 11:41:31 PM 1 hour marking :banghead:, 1 hour build, 1.5 hours electronics & controls sir this is a beauty to fly in small areas mines had an motor wire issue,like the pilot concept on yours .once the cg is located it flys great . i put clear tape all around the edges of the circle dint get a chance to rip then was thinking of getting back to it ....let seeI filched the power pod from the Baby Blender - swappable means you got to swap :giggle: :rofl: Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on November 01, 2013, 08:55:03 AM Oh, it flew just fine.
But the wing centre was weak, and it could not take the load of some basic maneuvers. Anyway, repaired it, let's see this weekend ;) ;D Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: abhayf14 on November 01, 2013, 09:03:29 AM nice

Title: Re: FT Nutball Post by: sanjayrai55 on November 03, 2013, 09:46:34 PM The repair took around 20 minutes, just some hot glue & packing tape ;D
