Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
Its been done by one of the spad guys, foamie fuse and coroplast wing, with a weedwhacker conversion engine on the nose. This one is much lighter and bigger, if only I had the skill and time ....

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
Thanks for all the comments guys!
I think it was one of my most useless and time consuming projects ever! But I also learned a lot and had loads of fun, and that's what it is all about isn't it? More than 4400 views of this thread show that it has indeed been an interesting build. If I were to build a giant, or large, foamy again I would go for about 2m (78in) and not more. The monster is a transportation nightmare! Huge, floppy and fragile! I still have the Hyperion 4025/16 around so maybe some day I'll do a little monster. The future is not looking too bright for this one: Phoenix 85HV, rx and Helitron voltage regulator will go on a 1.9m Giles 202UL. Hyperion 4025... all 6mm depron.. no sandwich parts stunt... 5-6s... no HV esc... my mind is racing again

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
Today I got rid of the monster
 it had been standing still for more than a year now...Would anybody be interested in the CAD files? I would publish them free to download for anybody. They are in Alibre format, which is also free! https://www.alibre.com/Register/RequestInfo.aspx The design works, the only thing I would change is shorten the rear part of the fuselage about 20cm so to avoid CG head aches. Reducing the area of the control surfaces a bit would also be a good idea, especially of the elevators. |

Re: 95 inch depron Loco build thread
Aww that sucks man,
i wanted to build a depron foamy around the 50-60' area. This was very inspirational. Good luck on your next build! --PvT |
