Built an RC Airboat for timepass
Build Log Pics
Frame and side/bottom skins from 4 mm and 2 mm Sunboard
Contd.
Used cling wrap and silicon RTV sealant to make a seal for the hatch
Going to put the ESC & Rx in waterproof boxes
Waiting for a Rx so I can maiden it. There were many large (like 1000 sq. metre, up to 0.5 m deep) rain water puddles on our flying field, unfortunately they have dried and there is thick growth of weeds now :(
Beautiful Build sir,
:thumbsup: for maiden...
sir, did u print the stickers and paste it ?
Thanks Swizera. Yes, they are stickers. The top skin is biofoam, and although I gave a base coat of Enamel (Oil) paint, even then the spray can paint attacked the foam. So, to cover up the khaddas I used stickers :D :D
What is that material sir and where did you buy it from,like exactly the location and price and name,
Thanks
PS - Amazing build sir,
Top skin is biofoam from Sitaram, South Ex 1. Rest is Sunboard, from any sign board maker
{:)} {:)} {:)} very nice sir :thumbsup:
i have many receivers spare though :giggle:
Anand-bhai
Get a bigggg empty suitcase, and come to Delhi ;) ;) :D :D
Absolutely stunning build Sire. This mouse from Guwahati is ready to dance to the tunes of the Pied Piper. Lead on................................... :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:
A small request - a picture of the underside showing the stepped hull would be appreciated.
Thank you VC sir ;) :D
Will take a pic later today and upload it
Nice one Sir, when is the maiden!!!
Thank you Christopher.
Maybe next weekend ;D
The bottom of the hull of the Pied Piper
The stepped hull is visible. Why would the designer (Alex T) use a stepped hull?
1. Aerodynamically superior
2. Creates lift
3. He had only that width of raw material available :rofl:
What is your guess?
Thanks Sire. Creates lift, I guess.
