Billy and Me - Nitro Coroplast Planes from v1 to v3

It's always fun when I and Billy go for flying our RC planes.

The three planes in the pictures are all homemade planes. They are made from Coroplast and the engine is ASP 25 and ASP 32. The right one is my first homemade nitro engine and the left is the latest.

Hope you have happy flying also...

Before RedThlon, There was BlueSky EDF

My experience tells me that Coroplast is also good for EDF Jet type of plane. I started with around 500watts EDF, with static thrust ratio about 1:1. The battery is 3S 2200mah - 3000mah was able to build and fly the EDF plane named it BlueSky EDF Jet.

The advantage of using Coroplas is that it is resistance to soft to medium crash. It may be survive also for hard crash depending on the case.

Here is the picture of my BlueSky EDF:

The plane was inspired by this URL: http://www.mugi.co.uk/

Updated the figure with some measurements:

It is simple and so much fun to fly with. Have a change to upload the videos into youtube despite to shaky. Here are the URL for the videos:

Later I will post some screenshots during the making.

Welcome to my Blog

Halo,

I named it, RedThlon

The RedThlon with my Lovely Car Grand Livina. 

The Car always goes with me with some Planes in its back trunk.

It has been more than 3 years playing with RC Plane. The more you make your own RC Plane the more you experience with.

I started with Simple Small RC Plane, and by today, I successfully make nitro/engine/glow Plane. My built has to make some condition::

1. It should be simple Plan/Desin
2. It will not take more than 5 days (mostly 2 - 3 days) to make
3. Although simple and quick to build, It is still fun to play with

Today, just created this blog. URLs below are the RedThlon in action:
