RC India

Guys, this is the ENIGMA, 3D Thrust Vector Plane, from Hyperion, delivered at my door today as a prize as I designed its Logo and Skin.
Just an Unboxing Celebration with you  :)
Great plane, great quality. Came with a 'Box-in-a-box' packing. They provided normal motor mount too for non-tv setup.
Thanks to Mr. Sai for keeping me stable when the thought that 'it got struck in customs' rippled worry in my mind.
Thanx to Hyperion for kindly selecting my design to gift me this palne ;-)

cool  :thumbsup:

congrats so when are you going to start the build

hey u designed its color scheme...thats great!!!!! it looks enigmatic...congrates

have u got everything, i mean electronic and plane!!!!!!

all the best for maiden!!!

Looks awesome..
What wood is that with the motor mount. I have seen that in many motor mounts with rtfs/arf.
Can we get that material anywhere in bangalore?

Hi Ashok,
Thats called 'Liteply' and RC Dhamaka stocks them. It is currently out of stock, but they say it would be in stock this month or so.  I would be going to get parts of my Katana Lite Laser-Cut this weekend with similar Motor bulk head.you may drop in sometime to see them.

cool stuff... btw. iam noob in planes. wanted to ask. what kinda motor/servo/battery/esc, etc. do you fit on this plane?

is this something like the Multiplex easy star? i was planning on getting one of these things. but strictly electric.

cheers.

Awesome job on designing and good to see that you got the entire package and not just the airframe as just reward for your labour.
How about doing a write up about the model and other bits and off course a few videos would be great!!

This is nothing like the easystar for sure.

Nope, this is an advanced flyer. we call it 3D, to perform aerobatics, while the Ez star is perfect trainer plane. Better go for ez star. that will be your learning mate.

Oh yeah, sure I will. But presently I am very seriously on my PhD thesis, to be submitted this month. After that, I will be back into RC with everything.

+1.  It was very nice of Hyperion to send it ARF.

Looking forward to a proper review and maiden videos.  Remember that dual rates and expo are your friends ;)

Nice logo you have designed and prize of course you deserve it, and why not, it's hard earned.

Congratulations...........................................

Yes anwar exactly. I am a scale lover and never flown a 3D. am planning to setup 20% on every throw and try without TV to get it airborn first, but am little bit scared that I may crash it immediately.

Thank you very much.

@merog

thanks for the info. and congrats on your new kit. its really cool to look at..

cheers

20% *may* be too low.  My guess is at least 40% rate, with something like -50% expo.  Even better, have someone more experienced do the maiden, take the guess work out and tame her down for you.

I may be at Vizag on 8th and 9th May. If you want can help you out

Wow thats a beauty, cant wait to be able enough to fly that one

mergo congrats for getting this beauty..

A sincere request, make a 3d plane like this by coro or depron..fly that..break it..make another one and then fly this beauty..

cheers..

Anwar bhai and Merog,

On all my 3D, two tings i followed very religiously, one dual rate 40% on Aileron and Elev, rudder no DR. and -50% expo
Two, No maiden on a slightly windy day 

Edit
Sorry Anwar Bhai not my fault, Justerini & Brooks are to blame

4% dual rate ? something is seriously missing :)  A worthless "zero" ?

Justerini & Brooks  :banghead:

i crashed my thunder tiger mini titan long back........... cause j&b :giggle:

:giggle: :giggle:
:giggle:

@atul_pg
ya, sure, I will. Thank you.

@flyingboxcar
yup. sure. if I hopefully finish my PhD thesis submission by then, it will be my honor to take your assistance to get airborne with Enigma.

Congratulations Merog!! Awesome design. Do you have designs for other popular planes like the ez*?

Wishing you all the best for your submission.

Oh yeah, if somebody wants an unusual and non-regular design for EZ*, I can be there for them.
thank you for ya wish on my submission.

Have a look here, some did a review/build of the model.

damn ! they are at large again ! but what a heady mess they create once out of their green enclosure....
(out of context, but could not resist ;)

fantastic pattern, Merog. looks real good.

looks quite like Sniper (Again from Hyperion), will fly like one i guess, like a breeze. what a gorgeous, if may, sexy, colour .  8)
