I designed a case for the electronics circuit board tonight. It will be laser cut out of 1/8" plywood and then glued together. The ports are for (left to right): 3s battery, TX signal to Dragonlink by servo cable, video RX to the 5.8 GHz repeater by servo cable, window for digital voltage indicator, and antenna for the 5.8 GHz repeater. The case will then be secured by screws into the back of the biquad antenna so everything but the Dragonlink module can be removed from the tripod in one piece. I will update this post with pictures of the final product but it may be awhile because I still need to order the digital voltage indicator.
Here is a project I did a while back. My uncle was cleaning up his workbench and as a fellow RC modeler he gave me some random wings and fuselages. One of the wings was about the size of the wing on the Slipso400, a small hotliner I found on this RCGroups thread: Slipso400 . With a few modifications I managed to get it to be about the same wing. For the ailerons, I decided to try a linkage which keeps the servo in the middle of the wing and joins both aileron surfaces to the motion of one servo. The fuselage was built off of the plans provided in the RCG thread. The bulkheads are lasercut from 3mm plywood. The side walls, top, and bottom are 6mm depron. I wanted to make the tail a little stiffer so I shaped some thin pieces of balsa to the profile of the tail. I left a small space in between the two pieces to run a plastic tube to route the push rod for the elevator. After putting in the servo and gluing it all together, I rounded the edges wit...
