This is the progress today and the next step will be to update with the v911 spare board as main board weighs 7gm
Current weight 18gms(incl 120 mah lipo)
total expecting around 26gms(including wires and all)

Waiting for your valuable suggetions

@sundaram : Thanks a lot sir, :hatsoff: :hatsoff: I am using the normal 6030 prop right now, I think i am getting enough thrust to lift this..
Or will try another 7mm motor with the cf prop(Rcbazaar) i mentioned that day....  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I hope wing is going to have a dihedral.

Some side snaps would be appreciated.

To be a slow flier give sufficient incidence to the High wing and down thrust the prop and motor with a 2 degree to the right too.

The geared motor with 6030 slow spinning prop should be sufficient thrust without prop induced roll.

For the wing span and weight even a smaller prop would have been sufficient though.

Post by: arun.sreelakam on March 20, 2013, 07:39:19 PM
Sir i have made another with a 5030 prop.. will be using that if it is overpowered..  :)
Can save some weight also  :giggle:
Sir will make the changes and need to test after mounting the board and lipo then i want to make the changes regarding that...
Hope all to come up good..  :(
One more pic..

I don't seem to notice a dihedral or polyhedral in the wing. Large props induce roll making it necessary to provide with one of them.


Title: Re: Night Vapour Clone (Homemade Micro Flyer)
Post by: arun.sreelakam on March 20, 2013, 07:50:37 PM
Sir you are right it is not dihedral, its simple straight wings...
Here is the wing pics

Made some modifications to my vapour changed the motor to a 7mm coreless and selfmade gear system...
6030 prop.. And made the wings a bit dihedral as suggested by sundaram sir..
And flew it today outdoors not a good result but i am sure that it will fly indoors will do the maiden and update the result...
Here are the modifications...


Title: Re: Night Vapour Clone (Homemade Micro Flyer)
Post by: arun.sreelakam on March 23, 2013, 08:11:36 PM
Now the overall weight is 24 gms(150mah lipo) ... wingspan about 28cms...  :hatsoff: :hatsoff:


Title: Re: Night Vapour Clone (Homemade Micro Flyer)

Seems to be like tail heavy. Some video's of flight would be nice.

Post by: arun.sreelakam on March 23, 2013, 08:26:29 PM
You are right sir it was tail heavy but placed the lipo in the front and which balanced correctly and will put the video tomorrow after flying in some covered place.. sir suggest me a good push rod this is not working that good..

Hey Arun,

Need your help building micro. would like to do based on the available electronics and power system.
Can we still use my flysky ct6b rx for micro ?

Please let me know


Title: Re: Re: Night Vapour Clone (Homemade Micro Flyer)
Post by: arun.sreelakam on March 28, 2013, 02:25:22 PM
Yaar you can but.. it weighs almost 10 gms after removing the outer cover right.?
And my aim was to make one below 20gms and still failed by 4-5 gms.  So micro with fly sky receiver is difficult but you can.. what you are actuallu planing for I may help you on that..

Nice build

I flew the original night vapour once at our flying fields. It was in the early morning (just sun up). A senior aero modeller has bought it from USA. It was damn slow flyer (very very slow, lazy bird, you can walk along with the model and keep flying) with perfect moves. I really enjoyed flying it outdoor.

@arun: I feel, Your night vapour clone is little faster. But its really nice build, very impressive and tempting me to start my own build again.


Title: Re: Re: Night Vapour Clone (Homemade Micro Flyer)
Post by: arun.sreelakam on December 19, 2013, 04:20:25 PM
That orginal one cost 100$ plus
But mine cost only 10$
;D
And also see the second video uploaded.. which is much more slow coz I changed the prop to 7"
I can even make it slow by making the wing area much more larger..
You can choose a little more bigger  wing area to make it even slow flyer..
All the best for your build..
