Well, folks, this is a flight/construction report on my Amazing Underperforming Mono-Nano-Copter. By my definition, it worked! I'll write an EMRR review, but...
... how long is the blade? What a natty little gizmo, I hope you'll have it at the next club activity, I'd really like to take a closer look. Cool stuff! Keep...
Well, I had flight #2 on the monocopter. This time, I took out the ejection charge. The monocopter only managed to barely raise itself off of the launcher....
I got more motors (thanks John!) flew it twice today. I used Estes igniter again and bent them at a 90 degree angle near the pyrogen and ... Hope this looks...
er...that's nozzle not noggle :-) Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA #0303 NAR #47992 SR L2, NARHAMS http://users.erols.com/rstaff/index.htm Keeper of EMRR's...
Hi all: Just uploaded 2 new plans to the McCoys MM Scale plans file. 10.5mm MM powered Arcus and a T3(3/8")dia. MM Amraam AIM-120a. Has anyone had any problem...
I haven't looked at them all, but the ones I have seen open fine and are clear. Plenty of detail to build from :-) Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA #0303 NAR...
Thought some of you might want to have a Micro Maxx version of the Der Red Max. New MM plan in the Classic Downscale folder in McCoys plans in the files...
Hi everyone: Man it's been dead on the group! I've been building instead of drawing the last week or so, I've completed my 1:18.66 Amraam 120a, based on a...
Hi Guys: Still seems way to quiet, I've finished the t-3(.375") Amraam 120a and posted the drawing to the files section along with a 10.5mm od Arcus, and a...
John, Between being in the sunny Southwest and a couple of other projects, I haven't worked on the monocopter. I had almost decided to drop the MMX monocopter...
Are you still considering a built-up "wing" to lighten the load? After some thought, I'm sure you could quarter the LOWt if you did a "stick and tissue" wing....
I belive it is to quiet because maybe some of use like myself have moved up a notch to downscaleing for the use of ESTES Mini-Engine. Sorry to say but first...
That's a good point - the Micro-Maxx engines are hard to find here, too. I found one hobby shop that has the rockets, but no engines, and another one that has...
Trevor, Your message to the group intrigued me and I had to respond. When I purchased my MM rockets at a local Toys R Us, I had expected decent performance...
One of my favorite "Classics" the Laser-X. I have 4, the original, a 1.5 upscale to bt-50 D-12 motor size , a 3D upscale with active single C motor upper...
Trevor: building your own, will quickly solve the low atitiude problem. I have a couple MM p/d and S/d models I can only fly on really clear days on MM 2...
Hi again: We didn't really address the micro vs Mini downscale question raised in the earlier post. I think this issue should be left to the group originator -...
John, I have pondered a frame wing covered with some light paper (probably what I can dig up around the house). But, being all thumbs, the thought of trying...
Howdy Dick: I seem to recall the Maxi X-wing fighter kit wings were slab .125" balsa. the need to reduce OA weight of the model the builder was directed to...
I just uploaded 2 pics of my latest, yet unnamed, mono-nano-copter to my directory in the files area. This version has an airfoiled wing. Sections were cut...
Here are some more flight trials. The flight profile appears to be very sensitive to initial conditions. In accordance with chaos theory, I need to correlate...
Essence's Model Rocket Reviews is sponsoring a Caption Photo contest. http://www.rocketreviews.com/photo_contest_current.shtml This could be an easy way to...
Looks Good Dick: Interesting results, 5 feet up 12 feet over. I look forward to the shorter spar report, Are you still using steel? I'll donate a 12" piece...
Today's results were even better than yesterday's. The last flight was so good that I decided not to keep modifying it. John, I may just build another...
Hi Gang: As fall and Halloween draws near, I thought you might enjoy an Odd-Roc for the season. check out the Pumpkin Stack Plan in the Odd- Roc folder in my...
Has anyone determined the Gross Liftoff weight of a model powered by a MMII motor? I have a truncated (poorly made) fiberglass model, 40mm diameter, with a...
