Re: New project aquesition

I am using two Polks ESC's I had. Same length and width, but maybe twice the hight.
Still quite small.

Re: New project aquesition

Thanks Steve.
I wish I could airbrush like you to finish it off.
I bet you could really do it justice if you have not built one already. BD.

Re: New project aquesition

I have not had much time this week to work on the project.
I have figured out how I will connect the two cylinders together and run the power.
Also where the battery will go.
So stay tuned. News at eleven! BD.

Re: New project aquesition

OK here are some more photos.
Nothing is hooked up and just pushed on for the photos.
Just to give an idea of what it looks like.

Re: New project aquesition

..... I just had to go with the more powerful PPJ's.
I had never used them in a model before and I need approval from Ivan.
Well he has not sent his Cossacks after me anyways. :lol

I don't usually log in to view the active posts, but I needed to download the SCR. Well now that I see what goes on behind the closed curtain, I'll have to log in more often. I'll be watching.

BTW, I thought you used a PPJ in your Seaview??

Re: New project aquesition

I stand corrected.
I did use a PPJ in my Seaview, the production version used BTP's.
I forgot.

Just finished the cylinder assembly for the Raider.
Everything fits and works. O happy day!
It took a while to program the radio for all the mixing.
It is set up like an airplane on mode 4.
Rudder and elevator on the right stick and throttle and ailerons on the left.

Now on to installing the cylinder and battery in the Raider.
Right now I am thinking of using a hard case Lipo and sealing off where the wires come out with silicone.
Basically making it a sealed battery. A 4000MA 7.4V will fit between the two tubes and will connect to the two input thumb nuts on the front of each tube. One plus one minus.
This is my next plan of attack. Well back to work. BD.

Someone needs to build a viper of equal size. Big Dave cannot be allowed to dominate the pond through force and fear!

Re: New project aquesition

Hmmm...

Re: New project aquesition

The cylinder assembly is mounted.
I used part of the hull bracing to hold it in.
Using the power connections for the front attachment points.
If all goes well I will be able to connect the power right through the front intakes.

My plan is to try and duct the water when in reverse out the intakes for some reverse thrust maybe.
Not that I need reverse but I just feel like trying.

BTW Vipers suck!
I will blow all Colonial forces out of the sky! Err, water!

By Your Command!
