Indoor / Breeze Pro Arrived

« on: November 10, 2009, 09:41:52 AM »

The Motor is 1780kV.
The power system allows the model to climb vertically out of my hands at half throttle. Maybe a little overkill?? I am not sure. Never flown indoor before. Will be very interesting. I enjoyed building the model as a new experience. I am sure the actual flying will be fun too. Hopefully I can keep it in one piece for at least a couple of flights anyway. :?:

Cheers.

Just a few pics of the finished Breeze.

Came out at 150g. I opted for 3 cell 250mAh lipos for power. APC 8*3.8 prop. 80W Motor.

Looking forward to having a go. See you in Middleton.

Indoor / Breeze Pro Arrived

So here it is so far after a couple of hours last night..... most of which was spent trying to understand the pigeon english instruction book... :roll:

Anywho... just attached wings to the centre fuse piece then hinged on ailerons and elevator with fibre tape. Add the underside fuse part. Then put in the main carbon supports for the wings and of course the carbon undercarriadge legs in place. turn the lot over and add the top part of the fuse. Simple. Pity the lads writing the instructions couldn't have just said that. :!: But so far so good. Looks like a plane..

Cheers D.

Hi Kieth,

The way i see it, Life is too damn short. If you want to experience something you should do it the right way. No Point wasting money on some piece of crap foamy thing from Smiths toy shop. Anyway I have been flying pretty advanced models for a long time now....25% Edge 540 with 3D surfaces, and of course the 4meter Fox. A little depron foamie is not gonna put me off. The Walls however is another matter :?:

The Breeze Pro looks like 3mm Depron.
Goes together pretty easy.
Instruction manual is total crap.

Got my new Breeze Pro Today. Started tonight. Should be ready to fly soon. Will post the pics of it as I go. So Far the only problem was figuring out how to get the CA to cure quickly....no Foam safe accelerator in my bag of tricks.. so I decided to wet one side of the foam and put CA on the other. Worked a treat...

Dont feel bad kieth about all the questions. You were reading my mind. All those questions were on my mind aswell. I am waiting on delivery of my first Depron indoor model.

Thanks Aidan for that great advice.

Indoor / CMAC indoor Fly in

Icewind,

Nice job on the Moth. I left my model in stock configuration as it came out of the box. I did upgrade the battery and ESC to 3Cell 1000mAh Li-Po. Made the world of difference to flying the model. I also have mine on Floats and I fly great off Water.

My wings are slightly warped. Did you have any problems with yours. Did you beef up the interplane struts? Otherwise I found it to be a pretty good Model for the money

Indoor / CMAC indoor Fly in

Aidan,
I went with the recommended setup as per Al's Hobbies. The same components were used on a built review of the model in Rc Groups and the guy there was very pleased with it. There was a U tube link to see him fly it aswell and from what I saw it looked excellent.... at least in his hands anyway. So I went for that same setup.

motor : DualSky 80W Motor - 1780Kv (XM2812CA-27)
Prop : APC Electric Propeller - 8x4
Battery : DualSky X-Power 250mAh 11.1v SL Li-Po (3s1p) (16C)
I also have : Tunder Power 2 cell 450maH Li-Po

Receiver : Hitec HFS-05MS Micro 35MHz Receiver
Servos 3 : Blue Arrow 4.3g Micro-servo
ESC : DualSky 6A 2-3 cells Brushless Speed Controller

I have no idea about the weights of this gear.
As for building. I presume foam safe CA and tape is the way to go?? Any advice on this appreciated

Thanks

Icewind

Yeah thats the one. the bigger one.

I decided to get on board with this indoor lark. It sounds like lots of fun so I just purchased a Dualsky Breeze Pro. Reckon I will get it built in time if Als hobbies gets it over to me ASAP. Should be a fun experience.

Don't see myself having much problem with the moth indoors. It is a very stable model and can be flown at snails pace.

Looking forward to the craic!!

No prob on the buns front ralph. I will bring some along. This will no doubt make me completely immune to the un merciful slagging when my model smashes into a wall 30 seconds after take off.... :lol:

Anyway the only indoor model i own is a GWS tigermoth. this is the larger version but it is all foam and is a pretty slow flyer. I think I should be able to manage a couple of indoor flights with it. At least it says it is suitable to fly indoors on the box... :?:
I also have a little foam cessna park flyer. but it could be a little fast for indoors. Might leave that one at home.

As for that F3P stuff. Way out of my league at the moment. But cant wait to see one of them fly.

Joe - bummer about the hang glider hogging the slope. You need to make a model of a ground to air missile.... :twisted:

Pity I was not there with the fox... he might have gotten out of the way then heh heh :twisted:

Fred - Nice pics, great launching shots, you either have a great sense of timing or you have a lightning fast camera shutter speed. Cool pics. I especially like the two 1:1 scale models of a 99... :lol: Yum!

Yes I agree the bun handover ceremony should be met with much razzmatazz and pompous ceremony! We need a full pipe band and scantilly clad cheerleaders....emphasis on the scantilly :wink:

Role on the next slope weekend!
