Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260
Yeah thats all I need a pipe to make it faster than it is now. Ask Bob how fast he was flying it yesterday. I ordered a j tec pitts muffler and going to add a extra mount to the firewall to help keep it from flexing and also going to a bigger prop to slow it down and get a little more pull.

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260
All I can say Bob is WOW! 23 lbs 8 oz is absolutely amazing!
With the amont of progress Bob has made I think it's time to give everyone a little info on the Aerotech Kit side of life. Our goal is to have the kit ready and waiting for production pending Bob's go-ahead after flight testing the prototype. Bob and I have been working hard on getting the prototype into AutoCAD. As of the end of the day yesterday we're ready to laser cut a "sample fuse kit". The only thing holding us back right this minute is delivery of the 3/32" basswood ply. We have construction drawings for the fuselage about 75% complete and working on how we are going to handle the foam....for some reason FedEx has an issue with shipping the wing cores..... A couple notable things that will be different from Bob's prototype: 1) All motor box components, F2's, and lower shear webs are tabbed. This should make building a square motor box and attachment of the truss sides a little more straight forward for those of us who don't have "Sensei Like" building skills . 2) Kits will be available in three versions to accept different motor options. Versions are based on the dimensions of the DA/3W 170, DA 200, and 3W 210. These three versions should accomodate all other engine options in that weight range. If not, we can make adjustments on a custom order basis. I'll be jumping on here and providing updates periodically as we continue to make progress on this awsome project. |
