E-Alpha 2.0m Build ..!!!

[Luis94]

Hello everyone just want to share some pics of my E-Alpha 2.0m Build
The Quality of this model is top of the line and very well priced.

For electronics im using Corona Digital wing servos and mini for Rudder.

Emaxx Digital 17g for Elevator

Neumotor 1107/2.6D/6.7 P29 gear drive

Jetti ESC
Aloft Spinner and Carbon Folding Props

* Big Thanks to Wayne for always having great Products at reasonable prices...that keeps me motivated and wanting to build more often..* ?

Rudder servo Horn.

 

[Luis94]

Tail Servos.....

Some more work...

Now that’s a gold plated power system! What prop and battery are you using?
Also let us know how the fuselage works. Where they put those servos has always given me concern. (Maybe unfounded).

 

[Luis94]

Originally i was going for 3s setup ... but after checking some numbers in the Ecalc.app a 4s setup is a much better choice...
Got different props for testing
12x13
13x10
14x9.5 wide
15x9.5 wide
16x10
16x13
The rear servo location is perfectly located and very easy for servo and rod installation....plus the Fuse is strongly reinforced both in front and back .....TJIRC Models looks to be better built and of superior quality over any RCRCM Model.....

Wing section...

 

[Luis94]

Aloft servo extensions # 1..?
Perfect fit...

 

[Luis94]

Almost ready....just need to finish the radio setup ...and locate the CG...think it should be the same as in the Typhoon..?

 

[Wayne]

Woohoo! Looks to be ready to go. Yes, same CG as the E-typhoon.

 

[Luis94]

Ok...Thanks Wayne...????

 

[Doc James Hammond]

Yes, same in principal - different manufacturer and only a couple of things changed slightly. But you are in good hands, the Typhoon is the biggest selling moulded 2M model of all time. Hundreds flown. With these Alpha's added, the total model numbers will soon reach the magic M.

Actually like the way I designed the fuselage servo installation in a side pocket - At the time I had never designed an electric model so to me it seemed like an easy way to do it, and its been copied a few times so I guess it is.

I think I did a good job designing that plane so long ago - and it was designed in the middle of a big typhoon - I had nothing else to do! Sunbird 60 is getting up there in numbers too - already over 450.

Good louck with the flying.

Doc.

 

[Wayne]

Only 450? It must have been more than that.

 

[Doc James Hammond]

Only 450? It must have been more than that.

Actually, Wayne - the last time I got any report was over 2 years ago so you are probably right.

Cheers,

Doc

Hello Doc,
Nice to know that the glider has a bit of History in to the design...??????

 

[Luis94]

I also built a Sunbird... ???

Hope you liked it.

I have a new 60 now - a bit better than the Sunbird but I still like the old plane's looks. That was the third design I did for RCRCM and I was trying to design a big plane into a small plane's skin.

Fun little thing.

Doc.

 

[Luis94]

Yes...i did like it a lot.... beautiful slick design...??

What New Model do you have now..?

 

[Doc James Hammond]

Sessanta 60. It's part of the new "Supersport" range and is an all-around improved version of the Sunbird.

One-piece wing, lighter stronger construction, more aerobatic, and faster.

The production version has a rudder by the way.

Doc.

 

[Luis94]

Nice....
