Full size winter project?

A sneak preview of my winter project ;-)

dsc00668

.. Always interesting to have a look around in other workshops, and although this is a full size shop, it is interesting to note how many techniques we share. Lite aircraft also use iron on covering, pull pull setup for rudder is done the same way… hey, I could use a workshop like that.

Keep cool - mounting the 90A Titan controller

The pictures show the controller installation in a Katana 28% and a Ultra Stick 120 I recently converted. Both models will spend most of the time at part throttle, and as this is where the controller get the hottest it makes good sense to ensure optimal cooling - and apart from that, it adds that distinctive ‘Electric power’ look to the model.

Guide to assembling Hyperion ARF models

ARF - Almost Ready to Fly - is a worn-out acronym. Most R/C aircraft models on the market today are ARF models. When considering a model, the big and fuzzy questions are: How MUCH of an ARF are we talking about? Has it been thoroughly tested? Has it test flown? Is the hardware pack useable? Does it at all fit the model?
This is one of the major areas where Hyperion stands out in a crowd.

DS20UMD as retract servo

For the retractable landing gear in my DG303 glider, i chose to use a DS20UMD servo for the retract (and all other functions). Using the programming software I was able to program the servo for 170 degree rotation, and as the servo is proportional I am able to finetune the endpoints from my transmitter.

Going retro

Remember the ‘good old’ days?
