This is just a quick test I did of the Wemotec mini fan 480, I only have one motor that fits the one adapter I have for the fan. The motor is an Align 400L...
How many watts are you outputting Rob? I have run the same fan in my F-18 with a 4s pack and a 2W-20 Typhoon motor and I am putting out over 700 Watts of...
Hi Ian, I am somewhat limited in the testing I can do at the moment that is just watts in, It's not the ideal motor to use just the only one I have on hand at...
OK, Just tested with 4cell 2200 mAh pack and got 300 watts at 20 amps. So It looks like this would be a good entry level setup. Cheers Rob. ... is ... in ... ...
700 Watts lovely:) that would be up around 1.5 kg of thrust at least with appropriate exhaust nozzeling. 2 of these together in the 229. fabulous :) I think...
I just uploaded the latest CAD file (in AutoCAD 2000 format) to the "files" area of the Yahoo group. This is going to serve as our 'backup' copy also. Gary -- ...
Hi Gary I have just been looking at the latest plans that you posted here. it looks to me like there is enough room between rib 1 and rib 2', which is the one...
well i should have read the rcscalebuilder thread first before i posted the last message shouldnt i :( with only 2.75 and 2.45 inches to play with i dont think...
Gary, I think its gonna be just fine with the Mini Fan 480's and the Typhoon motors. You have seen how fast my F-18 is and it weighs 3 lbs. Not to mention...
I agree, I think we should be aiming for the 480's and typhoons too,i wasjust exploring some of the other possibilities. Would it be possible to scale the...
Well The only magic number is 80 inches. This is the minimum wingspan for IMAA events. _____ From: ho229@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ho229@yahoogroups.com] On...
Hi Craig, Scaling it down would be possible. Only reason for 82" is to end up with a design that is IMAA legal, and it happens to be an even 1/8 scale. Have...
Hello again Craig, Thinking about this -- I'd rather see us increase the fan size than make the overall design smaller. I think some of the problems people...
I'm with Gary on this one... Bill F. ... From: "Gary Hethcoat" <gary.hethcoat@...> Hello again Craig, Thinking about this -- I'd rather see us increase...
Hi, If we are using the dimensions Gary posted for duct size (2.75") then the mini fan is perfect at 2.8" and with the right motor will have more than enough...
ah now i understand the attraction of the 82. 1/8 scale and IMAA compliant looking at the numbers posted by heiner the wemo MF480 / mini fan / het 6504 is...
Hi Craig, Part of the way I'm looking at it is this... This is a challenging design. It may take several 'iterations' on the design to get it right. So start...
Hi gary yes that is what i mean. now why couldnt i say it like that :( mmm thems the breaks, blame it on lack of sleep. I can certainly agree that keeping...
Hi Craig, Thanks for explaining more fully. Is the Midi-fan setup really that much more? Not sure where you got the $2000 figure. What I priced out based on...
Forgot to answer your other questions. I have tried to contact the designers & builders of all of the other Ho 229s I could find on the internet. Most didn't...
well gary if i knew how to do cad stuff accuratly then i would volenteer but alas i hardly know how to draw over 3views... sorry mate... but i am willing to...
Just found this thread on RCU -- worth a look. Seems to be some contradictory info out there, as "Tom" states that the early Ho 229s (V1, V2) had 4 degrees...
Hey guys, Just had a thought. Not sure where you guys are with the glider build, I don't think any of you have started yet. I think it would be good if you...
My wood will be here Thursday or Friday... So I'm game for waiting for the washout. ... From: "Gary Hethcoat" <gary.hethcoat@...> Hey guys, Just had a...
Gary, are you almost done with your glider? When are we going to fly it?;-) _____ From: ho229@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ho229@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gary...
The pictures on the RCSB thread are current as of this morning :-) I'm about 1/4 done, it'll probably take another few weeks to have it ready to fly. We should...
Sure, I will try and get my Zagi together in a week or so. _____ From: ho229@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ho229@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gary Hethcoat Sent:...
Hi all Gary my estimate of $2000 was based on the expsnsive motors and schuebeler fans so i can believe that there will be a $500 variation with other...
Hi Craig, Yes the Schuebeler stuff looks great, but is *really* expensive. I would definitely like to get all the data we can on washout, it seems to be the...
