it will be unstable in wind... mine tips over when taxing to the runway(pitch) you'll have to fly it indoors Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on June 27, 2015, 10:55:34 PM Attached both the corner of wing to the centre piece using foam glue at 45degree.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on June 27, 2015, 11:00:27 PM @prabal .In no wind it may fly outdoors. I don't think it will have any problem because it's going to around 35grams (auw). And it is also going to be 3 ch.
good build... go on!!! :thanks:Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on June 27, 2015, 11:01:55 PM mine tips over when taxing to the runway(pitch) Is yours a 2 channel or 3?you'll have to fly it indoors Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on June 28, 2015, 08:10:55 AM Constructing the fuselage.

Really liked your gearbox arrangement. (And motor mount) This is classic desi jugaad We don't have to copy the Chinese model. Make in India rests on 'desi jugaad by youngsters like you! Keep it up. Regards Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 01, 2015, 10:40:04 PM @ K K Iyer sir, thank you very much for the compliment. Actually seniors like you, give the motivation and inspiration sir.
Thanks again :bow: One more jugaad that is the brushed esc out of servo motor ;) Title: Re: Post by: rcrcnitesh on July 02, 2015, 06:38:29 AM Can you elaborate more on that subject.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 02, 2015, 07:05:27 AM @rcnitesh, do you mean the esc?
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: sundaram on July 02, 2015, 11:34:15 AM Desi Jugad Brushed ESC from servo motor control circuit is reversible if you keep POT centered.
For this model you can make it unidirectional by replacing the POT with a single qtr watt resister of same value between the two extreme pins and shorting the center pin to one extreme pins. Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: romanxdsouza on July 02, 2015, 02:34:12 PM Nice build superb...... just becareful of auw, motor should not be underpowered....keep checking on weight and reduce as much as possible....wish you all the best :hatsoff:
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 02, 2015, 04:06:17 PM Desi Jugad Brushed ESC from servo motor control circuit is reversible if you keep POT centered.

The estimated auw is 35-40gram with 5" prop. Should give some nice thrust. ;) Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: prabal276 on July 02, 2015, 05:26:09 PM vvvvvvvvv.good build....
its awesome i hope that it flies good and wins you a price in the sweepstakes Title: Re: Post by: rcrcnitesh on July 02, 2015, 06:15:57 PM Yes Kiran I am asking about the esc.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 02, 2015, 06:28:42 PM Prabal thanks you very much. :hatsoff: The thrust should be around 60 gram.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 02, 2015, 06:33:39 PM Yes Kiran I am asking about the esc. The esc is quite simple. The control board from inside the servo motor is taken out with POT. The POT should be centered and it can be used as brushed esc. Only for micro pager motors. If connecting for a larger brushed motor 1 or 2 mosfets can be added. Current amp of this esc is less than 500maTitle: Re: Post by: rcrcnitesh on July 02, 2015, 06:58:20 PM Thanks bro.
From where did you get the 7mm pager motors? Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 02, 2015, 07:10:58 PM Rcnitesh,I have couple lying around. Got them long back. They are from toy helis.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 04, 2015, 10:44:42 PM Got some time to complete the fogey. Here the prop and lipo. :)
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 04, 2015, 10:47:45 PM Made servo holder using 3mm balsa. This is made to hold the servos in place so that they wont move while operating.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 04, 2015, 10:49:01 PM Micro fogey next to my Rcb7x.
Title: Re: Post by: rcrcnitesh on July 05, 2015, 07:11:04 AM Come on maiden video please.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 05, 2015, 07:21:22 AM Come on maiden video please. Sure nitesh, having some heating issues with esc. Will maiden as soon as possible. Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 05, 2015, 08:23:08 AM Esc heating resolved. Auw~50 grams.
Title: Re: Post by: rcrcnitesh on July 05, 2015, 09:13:48 AM I really love that thing, if I can manage to get 7mm motors then I'll build that.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: rcrcnitesh on July 10, 2015, 09:32:46 PM Kiran, one question regarding the build, can I use the motor which comes in 9gram servos for this purpose.
Title: Re: micro old foggey 12inch, for 2015 RcIndia sweepstakes Post by: kiran rc on July 10, 2015, 09:51:35 PM Yes sure. But do a test before you mount. I would recommend coreless motor as it lasts long and is much efficient than a cored motor.But as you have one,you may try for sure. :thumbsup:
