Made my own prop with balsa! Comparison with plastic one. Much less weight!

Weight comparison.

So what is the final all up weight?
Amazed at the low wt you are achieving!
May need the plastic prop for efficiency though.
I have a hard time getting a 12" chuck glider to be under 10gms...
Best wishes.

Thanks Antriksh :)

@Iyer sir, till now 5.5g may be a little over 6g with glue ;)
   Efficiency may not be a problem as the plastic prop may be heavier for 4mm         gearbox.I just tested with balsa prop its giving nice thrust.
Thanks again ;D

Making my own actuator ;D. I used Micro neodymium magnet, copper wire to make it.

Darshan for multirotors

Actuator added on tail of plane.

Hello sanjay sir, there is a coil which acts like electromagnet in which there is a small magnet. It works on attraction and repulsion. :)

I meant what does it do? Will it control the rudder from your Tx through the Rx?

kiran rc

Yes it controls the rudder through TX.Just same as servo. Control on rudder stick.

Will it be proportional movement like servo or just flick.

and is it direct connection to RX ?

kiran rc

@rastsaurabh
The actuator is fully proportional just like servo moving each points. It flicks only when directly connected to power source.It is so proportional because of rx output.  ;)

Yes, it is directly connected to rx which is capable of driving the actuator directly. The normal rx requires a converter to hook up an actuator.  :)

kiran rc

Almost completed. Used a larger gear and prop.Now its giving much better thrust compared to the previous one.:-D

kiran rc

Making the battery hatch. 1mm balsa.

kiran rc

Hatch completed.Mounting left. ;D

kiran rc

Completed.  :thumbsup:

Great work , what's the final AUW , and a close up photograph of the rudder actuator would be appreciated.
Regards

Here is the final auw.
And close up of the actuator.
