Santa Claus Air

This December time is running true like a . . . . .

Somehow I come to idea to make this year the real flying Santa! Maybe this is the reason not to write on the blog, but I am back. Undefined flying objects are always difficult to realize, first tray was with 3D Santa, sleds, Reindeer and to be light as possible. Goal was under 500g. Santa was good pilot and Rudolf take for a power, no problem. Because of the box construction and strange aerodynamic I decide to build new one to be flyable indoor! I choose the "classic delta" wing wit Santa silhouette! Perfect, it is controllable, quite easy to fly and light! First fly's was done at indoor meeting, weary successful! And for the final, the show Air Santa was done at the volleyball game break. It was great surprise for the complete audience with music background and gym hall full of people. The drum supporters catch immediately the rhythm of the Jingle Bells techno background. Not too much space to fly, the volleyballs was flying around, but I did it! Show was great! Next show fly is planed for kindergarten surprise and some other events! The short video of the AirSanta will be presented here as well! Up to next time! dr.Lojz

We did it, Aerotow of the best!

One of side projects, not just for hobby, because I was learn making RC gliders, which give me a lot of knowledge from materials, technology and also to be patience, yes for a life!

Luc was made two foamies from a light Depron foam, he was enjoy like always to be creative. The electric motor plane is powered with 2s lipoly 700mAh at the weight of 150g, at wing span 800mm. For the sailplane he was take out the RC from Koaksial helicopter on 35Mhz. Sailplane is even lighter with good 110g.
He wish to proceed the Aerotow with booth creations. Last Saturday it was so far. I was invited to fly the towing plane, he was on glider controls. Well we was both a bit nervous but it works!
RC aerotow is one of the dificult steps on controling the models, booth pilots must to be simultan, precise and quick in case something go wrong!

Here it is the documentation ;-)
