First Cut Part here, Fomie Airplane

Post by tauscnc »

Hey guys,

First awesome 2D program... I have look and looked for years to find a good 2D program; simple, quick, work, and affordable. Overall very nice.

After playing with the program for about 2 hours and setting things up I decided it was time to try it out for real.

*** I Love the Tab feature *** This would have been a complete pain for me to do in the DXF file or in other 2D CAM programs (if they even could).

Can't wait to get her in the air.

I think this photo really shows the tabs and how good they are.

Thanks guys for the kind words!!

Let me "fine tune" the one above and use that one for your cut out if you like. The motor opening needs to be made bigger. I enlarged the rear fin but forgot to on the stab, etc. etc. Let me fine tune it real quick :)

They work GREAT and fly awesome!

Motor and speed control here www.lightflightrc.com (suppo 2204-14 and get a matching ESC 8-10 amps)
3 mm depron
Servos: Hitec HS 50 or similar...just make sure the cutouts match your servo size.
Battery: 2 cell 300-500 mah li-poly
Radio: Can't go wrong with 2.4 like the Spectrum DX7 (park reciever)

thanks again!

Hey guys

Here is the plane put together... I flew it last night in the gym (a bunch of us guys fly in a jr. high school gym on fridays) and it flew GREAT!!! I don't have landing gear on but it does have them.

I think I am going to move the battery position back about 1" to help with hovering and make it a bit snappier.

I have a new version already ready to go! I will post the DXF file for it soon.

Thanks
