Hi All,
I just wanted to show a few photos of my finally completed micro cylinder. It is only 1.25" OD and this one is 10" long.
I can vary the length to suite the hull.
It is all Submicro (Ha!!)
electronics inside.
It even has a small brushless outrunner motor and F/R ESC.
I was originally thinking of selling them but have decided it was way too much work to build them.
You don't have a MM to spare inside for interference tolerances.
I went through many blank caps
trying to get everything to fit on the end cap and still allow the three outputs to exit from the cap.
I have been working on the project for about a year now and finally had a chance to finish it up.
The little thing works like a champ. No leaks and the power output from the micro brushless motor is amazing.
I finshed it more for me so I could say to myself that I did it.
As yet I have not installed a ballast system but do have some ideas and room.
Not much room but I can lengthen the cylinder depending on the hull.
Now to get a good test subject.
I am thinking maybe my old Dragon 1/350 Typhoon kit. It would be easy to make a simple external one into two gearbox for the twin props.
We will see. BD.
