Full size winter project?A sneak preview of my winter project
.. Always interesting to have a look around in other workshops, and although this is a full size shop, it is interesting to note how many techniques we share. Lite aircraft also use iron on covering, pull pull setup for rudder is done the same way… hey, I could use a workshop like that. Read More »Keep cool – mounting the 90A Titan controllerThe pictures show the controller installation in a Katana 28% and a Ultra Stick 120 I recently converted. Both models will spend most of the time at part throttle, and as this is where the controller get the hottest it makes good sense to ensure optimal cooling – and apart from that, it adds that distinctive ‘Electric power’ look to the model. Read More »Guide to assembling Hyperion ARF modelsARF – Almost Ready to Fly – is a worn-out acronym. Most R/C aircraft models on the market today are ARF models. When considering a model, the big and fuzzy questions are: How MUCH of an ARF are we talking about? Has it been thoroughly tested? Has it test flown? Is the hardware pack useable? Does it at all fit the model? … Let’s Assemble a Yak55 25e Black Read More »Soldering Deans Ultra Plus (r)On the Hyperion show team, we have been using the Deans Ultra Plus (r) connectors extensively. Here is a how to on soldering the connector to the battery packs. Read More »Connection sequence for HP-EOSOUT-CAR02 with EOS0606iADThis post is for owners of EOS 0606i AD using it with Hyperion or 3rd party 2s lipo packs for cars and charging with the HP-EOSOUT-CAR02 charge cable Read More »DS20UMD as retract servoFor the retractable landing gear in my DG303 glider, i chose to use a DS20UMD servo for the retract (and all other functions). Using the programming software I was able to program the servo for 170 degree rotation, and as the servo is proportional I am able to finetune the endpoints from my transmitter. Read More »Enhancing Panel Lines and RivetsPanel lines can be enhanced by painting or using thin trim striping, but the result is usually way to thick lines. So how do you paint the thin panel lines? Answer is you don’t! You paint thick panel lines, and wipe the excess paint off. Read More »Going retroRemember the ‘good old’ days? … I decided on a Göppingen GÖ4 glider from the late thirties, not exactly sleek and certainly not with a minimal fuselage. It was a trainer glider with the pilots sitting side by side, so the fuselage is quite roomy. In short it is so ugly that you can only love it. Read More »Twin motor setup using 2 x BEC controllersBuilding and flying multi-engine models can be heaps of fun. There are loads of foamy models to choose from and when flown brushless it all comes together. Many of these foam models are in a size where using the BEC makes perfect sense. But how do you connect two BEC controllers when they are each feeding a supply of power to the receiver? The answer is that you don’t. It is ‘best practice’ to disable 1 of the BEC circuits, and this is simply done by cutting the positive wire to one of the controllers. If you do it on a short servo extension cable you can keep the controller intact for its next deployment. If you do decide to just connect both BEC feeds to the receiver it might work, but you may also experience that one of the BEC’s lets out the holy smoke. The BEC circuits won’t have exactly the same voltage, so one of them will take all of the load, or drive the other crazy… I have not investigated the technical explanation but we have seen it in real life. So – one BEC needs to be disabled. Cut the red wire on either of them on an extension cord and you are ready to continue with your radio installation. EOS 0720i NET 250W Charger Released
The popular Hyperion EOS 0610i NET is now introduced in a beefed-up version to satisfy the most demanding modelers without making a big dent in the budget. |
