Did an avispad build recently, slightly modified from original plans, the wing areas is larger. No build pics Sad.

The maiden was a disaster. The second trial much better. Here it is:



Some kinks ironed out, some are left.

Changed the landing gear. The earlier one was from the cub I lost recently. The gear would squash on landing, and was giving away on high speeds, one can hear the prop hitting the ground, right after sanjay sir's nimboo mirchi chant Wink

The CG was out. Very nose heavy. Now fixed by swapping the position of the battery and the ESC + Rx.

Feels underpowered on takeoff, motor to be replaced.

Next trial this Wed. Will post the results.

Thanks Sanjay sir for the guidance throughout, and Sandeep Pande for shooting the difficult video, given the my tipsy takeoff.

Girish, as I was there, I can unequivocally say that was some flying, looking at the way the model was behaving  Clap Clap

I think we have all the corrective actions on file now, just need to implement

Thank you sanjay sir, shauvik and maheen. If I had to own up, I was sweating that moment Wink It's a spad but any loss would have been a loss.

Hope to have a better flight tomm. Thanks for the motor sanjay sir.

Maheen, I am looking forward to see you flying your cox. Did you start it with the new fuel?

You'll have to make your plane fiery before installing them though.

So, the first incarnation of the A-V spad came down after about 12 successful flights. Was landing and went oblivious on the sticks...let the elevator spring back to neutral, about 8 feet above the ground, nosed dived, fuse broken, motor shaft broken

Redid the fuse...pics attached

Another photo of the fuse of A-V Redux

Redid the motor shaft from 4mm steel rod. Not hardened but worked great. Snug fit in the bearing, with a little lubrication moved very well.

However, motor was not being cooled properly and the bearings little noisy; Ignorance was bliss and the A-V took about 7 more flights

The original 3530 motor gave way, probable bearing problem; overheated; dead with coils burnt. The A-V came down with the motor dangling in front but landed safely (on the landing strip Wink). It was a sight.

Motor now replaced with a 3536 size from RCB. Thanks Sanjay sir for the advise on the motor spec, and the idea for making a shaft out of die guide rods...

Incarnation 3 Maiden tommorow...

Talking of die guide rods, can harden them. Use a butane flame, red heat, and throw into oil. Should get about 45 Rc on it. If done properly, to 850 deg C, and proper cooling done, can get 55 Rc!
