Title: Got Lucky : Story of Mr Moss and Me
Post by: speedracer on February 14, 2014, 09:30:01 PM
3 days back I was working on a college project, I needed some sensors so I went to my HOD asked for the permission to search some old projects refered to as junk by the "College Authorities".
Now when I entered the room where the so called junk was kept I was shocked to see how the projects that took months to build were just piled up.
So full of despair and agony I started my work , after removing some projects, bots and a heavy bike I saw an orange fan. Then after removing the whole lot of stuff i got it out. I was astonished to see it was a R/C plane broken into pieces.
I searched the whole room and collected all the bits that I could find.
Cleaned it and the stuff I could recognize was an orange colored brushless outrunner motor with Gws prop EP9050 , 2 Mini Servo , 18amp ESC
a LiPo and a 6ch Flysky Reciever.
I thought of Reconstructing it, after a few hours of reading on this Forum I figured out It was Mr Moss the glider.
After Searching here I got a pdf file which has the assembly instructions of Mr Moss.

Now I will start reconstructing it from next week.

@speedracer
Curious about which college.
I remember College funding me and Sondeep Sonkar with the princely sum of Rs 20 each for participating in the SMAE competition in Chandigarh! (Jan 1970)
We didn't have a place to stay, and would have frozen to death, except by chance my uncle happened to be in Chandigarh, and let us into his hotel in sector 17.
Saving grace was my pic appeared on the cover of 'Indian Modeller'...

Count your blessings when you unexpectedly discover stuff you love.
(Like the 1956 royal Enfield Ensign I found for Rs 700 in 1971. But that's another story...)

Fix it. It WILL fly. Best of luck.

Edit: Pl ask if you need any help or parts etc

I'll sure fix it , the only missing part is flysky 6ch tx , I am trying to source one.
I tried some of the members and went through some post in for sale section but no luck.

I have a question
I want to know if Flysky rx is compatible only with flysky tx?
