Title: Piaget shockflyer Post by: amir on July 26, 2009, 05:12:47 AM hi flyers
i build recently a piaget shockflyer. so tough on EPP hoping a test flight today will post videos soon Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: Pikle6 on July 26, 2009, 08:52:17 AM is it the tech one shockie from sai uncle
Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: amir on July 26, 2009, 02:38:11 PM yes
Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: gauravag on July 27, 2009, 11:30:53 AM What is EPP ?
Good luck, and keep us posted with pictures ! Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: amir on July 27, 2009, 03:56:05 PM EPP is Expanded PolyPropylene,
its a great material, unbreakable hoevewer hard is yr crash, but it needs lot of reinforcement as it is very flexible.. Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: tg on July 27, 2009, 05:30:18 PM Is it like the material used for this plane - zero crash capability virtually http://www.electrifly.com/parkflyers/gpma1275.html
Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: martian2121 on July 27, 2009, 06:44:02 PM Epp is actually EXPANDED POLYPROPYLENE. Follow the link ------> http://www.epp.com/ (http://www.epp.com/) for more info. cool stuff for parkflyers. EPS (Expanded polystyrene foamhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene)) is also good. XPS (Extruded polystyrene) is the flexible foam found usually inside packaging cases, cd covers etc............
Edwin Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: anwar on July 29, 2009, 09:37:52 PM I also felt that the foam is a bit too thin (keeps the weight down, I guess) as compared to the 5mm foamies that I have been using.
Other than that, it is a nice plane. Title: Trimming piaget Post by: amir on July 29, 2009, 11:48:11 PM i flied piaget today. it hovers really well
but in normal flight my plane is going up, i have given 0 downthrust. how much do i give ? also im having a problem when in high alpha i am giving full aerelons , aerelons are moving but there is neglegible response, do i need more torque servos ? i am using gms rcforall DYS servo. Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: amir on July 30, 2009, 09:11:18 PM pls tell me
Title: Re: Piaget shockflyer Post by: anwar on July 31, 2009, 03:59:36 PM Are you sure the "going up" problem is not just an elevator trim issue ?
About low aileron response, I think people are not responding because the question is not clear. What exactly are you trying to do ? Are you trying to do something like a torque roll from a hover position ? If your existing servos are able to give you enough deflection of the ailerons and hold them there, you should not have this issue. Basically, it looks like we need more information before people can pitch in with suggestions. |
