sum pics of the airbus ive started building..plan to use 2 55mm edf's...just finished the fuselage..will try to finish up the wingstructure this weekend...

Jealous of guys like you and Ankurkaul   Can't even find time to build (or "assemble" ) either of the helis that are already with me ! Hopefully one will be built this weekend.

You could always gift me the other one. LOL

Boy Oh Boy! This is one build to watch out for. All the very best!!!

thanx VC.cud have finishes this airplane earlier..but due to lack of availability of 55mm edf's locally..i put this build on hold and built a indor 3d plane instead..but now im back on this plane and will try to take it up in the air soon...i could order 55mm edf's from hobbycity but im looking for them in india..would be faster..if i dnt find them here in a few days.will putup a order with hobbycity..

We have 63,64 and 74 mm not 55 as it is not a very popular size required here

Sai

i would be interested in the 64's mr sai..could u kindly send me a link or any kind of info on them..im looking for a complete pack..that is with the brushless motor..

fuselage complete..waiting for the edf's to come in....

Will it have Flaps and Air Breaks? Better go for Retractable landing gear and some cutting edge painting too makes it reeeeely reeeely COOOOL.
Really awesome, cant wait to see it flying?

its going to be a 4-ch.ailerons,elev,rudder,throttle..im keeping it a lil basic as its my first airliner...but im planning to have air breaks on my next project..which wud be the boeing-747,im plan to paint this plane in the air india pattern..any suggestions as to where i could find the tail logos for it?..thanx

got back to the AIRBUS 318 project today..almost finished the fuselage,gonna mount the edf's on the wings tommrw,,and then finally the landing gear..suggestions for the landing gear would be appreciated,

Nice work dude 
See, i have noticed that while you were using the elevator and rudder the fixed part of vertical and horizontal stabilizer is also moving slightly along with movement of rudder and elevator.
i may be wrong or it may be the camera glitch also. please see into this as this may make your plane unstable while in air as the flight characteristic is gone change during servo movement.
you can reduce the fixed part movement by simply reducing the throw of servo arms by 30-50% or your hinges may be too hard to take the load of servo.

experienced builders may kindly suggest......

Sandeep

i think you should probably reinforce them too.

Yep... for their length, they sure can use some reinforcement.

Great going

forgot to mention guys but reinforcement of the control surfaces is pending..was too excited to shoot the video and post it so did it without the reinforcemnts ..im still waiting for sum landing gear suggestions from everyone..i plan to make skids and make this airplane as close to the real as possible ..any suggestions on how to make skids for airbus??

i think this may help you

hi,
i can see that even reinforcement will not gone help in reducing the fixed part movement. this is something else which is making this movement and that is the angle of rudder and elevator fixed part and the angle of pull by the servo is acting opposite to each other. i hope bot the control rods are overlaping and crossing each other and reaching the control horn instead of running parallel. please confirm...
Check the illustration below.
Any Comments ?

Sandeep

 

thanx for the input and the diagram sandeep..im using single servo for the elevator flaps..i made a Y shaped pushrod arrangement for both the flaps connected to one servo...will try to run a single spar through both the elevator fixed sections today and then see how it works..

Good Luck.........

the baby is finally taking shape...maiden this weekend along with subbus boeing 747...

i finally present to you..the AIRBUS 318...maiden in a few hours

 

Beautiful, fantastic...........Muuuuahh....Muuuuahhhh.....Good luck for your maiden....request for video also....
