Final Verison of the Eclipse Mini (V2)

by Timwetzel | November 28, 2017 | (0) Posted in Projects

The Eclipse V2 , now called Eclipse Mini because it looks like a smaller Eclipse I built. I rebuilt it because it was unstable and the fuselage was too wide and tall (ugly). I first flew it on a calm morning and it flew great! Here's some footage! (not the first flight)



After this I needed to make a new hatch because it flew off midflight, so the one I made holds on tighter. I am planning on putting on a bigger FPV system but not too sure about space for the bigger battery in the hatch as it just barley fits the battery (3s 800mAh xt30 connector) , battery voltage alarm, battey for micro camera ( some weird 1s 350mAh). The servo can barley squeeze in because of the bigger 30a esc (the only ones I had because mom wouldn't let me buy anything at the moment) takes up all extra space but it still fits in and can be removed.

 I have not made plans yet but its really simple so ill try my best for the dimentions:

Wing- 30 inches

Fuselage- 20 inches

Motor- Emaxx 2300kv with 30a esc and 3s 800mAh xt30 connector battery (older F Power pack)

*12 inches from the front of the fuselage is when I started to curve the tail up.*

3 channel - no rudder

9g servos

*fuselage in one piece that is folded to form it*
