95 inch depron Loco build thread
I finally fired up the CNC mill today! Here are the essential specs of the monster Loco
hyperion 4025/16 5s2p of TP2100 cells 6x HS-81 1x S3152 (had that one lying around, goes on the rudder) 2,4m span, expected AUW under 2.5Kg 6mm depron core plated with 3mm depron on both sides. Where necessary core is light ply. 12/10mm carbon wing tube. First picture is a CAD print screen. Last one is the wing half core compared to a standard Loco wing. |

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread

Again comparision between normal Loco and monster horizontal tail surfaces and rudder. I love that rudder

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
 Finished milling the 6mm depron parts. Started with the ply reinforcements. In the picture two versions of the same part. First version was too heavy (46g) second version is still more than enough from the structural point of view but much lighter (21g). I'll probably make the servo mounts out of 6mm balsa instead of ply. They are a bit heavy for my liking (7 and 9g) |

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
Looks great! Where did you get the depron from?

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
Thanks everybody for your comments! Sandwich parts look good and feel rather solid for their weight. I'll slow down with the build because from now I'm only at home during weekends. The 10 days "vacation" are over already  I'm now back to my life as a student...

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
A few more pics... My cat also came to have a look
The only missing part is the upper vertical fuz. Total weight is 2680g now, 1700g of depron (I assumed the weight of the upper vert fuz equal to the lower vert fuz). I hoped to stay under 2.5kg, oh well...
