Hello,
So, the first impression of the West wings kit – AWESOME!!!
some photo’s of the inbox items:
1 st the blueprint:
it’s really good that it is 1:1 scale, i think it will help a lot in the future
2nd the plank blueprint:
not quite useful i think, but it will help…
Hi all! tomorrow I will receive West Wings kit Fournier RF4. I googled for some build blogs or other info, sadly there were only a few build blogs, and not informative enough for me. This will be my first EVER balsa kit (or model, name how you want it) so I’m quite…well a LOT exited! The strangest thing i noticed on the net that some shops say it’s wing length is 1.5m others – 1.7m where’s the truth? i will measure it my self 🙂 As far i had read it should be quite easy to build, i like making stuff, i love gliders, but i chose the motor version because i don’t have anyone to lift it up for me or a hill to throw it from… But in future i will get or build a glider without a motor 🙂
Fournier in real life (wiki copy)
The Fournier RF 4 is a single-seater motor glider designed by René Fournier in 1966. It is an aerobatic version of the Fournier RF-3.[2][1]
The other thing that i loved that it is an aerobatic plane 🙂
General characteristics
Hello,
I’m getting better! I think… so here’s today’s video:
fpv training 5 !
Hello,
Today I tested my camera tilt… Works great!
Me and my friend who is new at this started flying… it was quite windy… problem for me was that the wind was blowing to the city side so I couldn’t film above the city… the problem for my friend was that he hasn’t got much experience, and I’m not talking about the wind, i’m talking about the whole flying thing…
Here’s what has happened:
His plane has only rudder control, by the time I was flying he got blown above the city :O we thought we had lost the plane for ever… but with the help of some kids he managed to find it without even a scratch!
Later on he did the same mistake… can you believe it? he lost the plane AGAIN! Â and found it AGAIN! we decided to name the plane “lucky”…
My video of today:
Hello,
Building camera tilt (UP, DOWN) and changing the video transmitter’s place.
The transmitter works fine, now I need a better video signal…
I have made a ground station
with the old Dx6i in it
the bad thing is that the video receiver is not high so I get a lot of noise on the screen, so my easiest solution for it was to put it higher… how? simple… Continue reading Project Flight pt. 7
damn it… I got the signal of video but the transmitter loses the signal?? This is not appropriate… on one forum I found this:
Futaba T7C huh?
okay… I sold my heli, sold my Dx6i and bought Continue reading Project Flight pt. 6
Testing the plane before testing the video transmitter-receiver
cool, it flies!
now the video… the FPV
everything looks quite good… now I need a camera to film from and a lot of training doing FPV only…
Here is my first own built plane, the wing span is 2000 (2 meters) the fuselage is almost 2 meters. The wing was built from profile on the Internet (clark y, if I remember right…) and the day came to try it…
It flies! my own plane flies! Continue reading Project Flight pt. 4
So, as I mentioned before, Dx6i was a big loop forward. I was upgrading my plane for a while, but a new transmitter, new plane? So I started to make a new, my own plane… a bit bigger…
The M-2 is the new wing… I’m glad that I made it… Why? well… I put the new wing on the old plane to try it and it flies great! but..
I landed it a bit harsh… Continue reading Project Flight pt. 3
