Show us what you are working on..

The booby was one of the first slope things i saw before i even got into sloping. One of the reasons i usually do flying wings/planks. This kind of completes my set now with the NCFM bluto being the other weird shaped wing.
Just found a super old playlist i had made on it:

Finally finished up the spar for Impulse and I’m on to the lower wing skins now.

I like it. I have experimented with different foam board wings on my Silly Stick. Trying to get it to fly really slow.

Wowings Booby ready for covering.



Took a little more time than i usually do with my epp foamies making sure everything was under the foam and than back filled with the epp i cutout or used gorilla glue to foam it out and sand it down. Than lite spackle the areas where i worked on it. Used some cutoffs from the ailerons to shape some little wingtips as there wasnt much area to do it in the epp with the spar right near the leading edge. Probably going to cover this thing for heavy flying. IE hoping for another 50mph weekend at sunset

Ended up putting 3 PowerHD 60g big boy servos in.
I had some issues getting some ArcherR6's i ordered to bind. I do it just infrequent enough that i always forget if its hold the button and turn on or turn on and than hold the button. I ended up just grabbing the latest firmware and reflashing them thru my radio and than it worked the first time. I must have been doing something wrong cause i ordered 2 and i couldnt get either one to bind until i reflashed.

Hold the button then power up.

Looks good! You built that one fast!

Made some progress on the gear layout for my Kobuz. Have it pretty much sorted and just waiting on hardware to start mounting everything and then wiring it all up.

Long road, but you guys got there. Really good!

Doc.

Have the Kobuz all wired up and just waiting on my batteries to arrive Monday then I can start the long task of programming it. Super excited to get this one in the air

Thats taking it to a whole other level from the simple gliders I fly. Congratulations.

In the home stretch for the CARF Kobuz 3m. Have all the programming done which was interesting. Took some figuring out as I am having the throttle stick do two jobs depending on the stage of flight. During normal operations, it controls the turbine throttle but once the turbine is shut down and its in landing mode, the throttle stick controls the flap/crow deployment.

To add to the complexity, throttle is down stick idle, up stick full throttle and flaps/crow is up stick clean and down stick fully deployed. Eventually got it all sorted out and working well but it was a bit of work.

Still waiting for my batteries to arrive so I can CG it but it seems that USPS may have lost them...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and hope you have a great holiday!

It appears you have 2 BamBams and I can't even get one. It's a sad world I live in I had to buy a Weasel.

Nate is doing our Alpha Builds on the Bam Bam. He doesn't actually have full kits yet, but Kelly was in the neighborhood so we sent him to Nate with the parts we did have available.

Sweet. Been wanting to make one of those tools for the shop.

Wished it was just a little bit larger for canopies.

That thing looks familiar....
