  1. I have had a look through this topic (Pics from your free RCME plan build) from start to finish. 🤔 Where has all these years gone ? Some of my plan builds need to be added to this list. And I need to get some of my own plans built, time is just passing by so fast. Steve ( time 🪰 🪰🪰 by)
  2. And here we are ready for a maiden again, Hopefully I wont get any more bad Luck Steve 🤞
  3. And the new battery plate slots into place nice and snug. I found packing tape works well for covering the model more than can be said for the blue solar film that has already started to peal away. I may have to remove the blue covering and used some colored tape instead. Steve.
  4. Also I discovered that my lite Ply under carriage support had also broken so I decided to add some extra ply to stiffen the up too. This slotted into place nice and is now well supported. Hope you don't mind Richard. Steve
  5. So the Balsa cores are glued onto one of the sides first making sure all is aligned and that the mast and boom fits. Here is the body almost complete with a 4s Lipo in the Battery space making sure I have left enough room. Steve.
  6. Here are my new parts. And just for comparison I have layed the original Body on-top of my new parts. Only a small increase in size, I hope you don't mind Richard.
  7. So here is my new build of the body. I decided to make the Ply sides as one for each side rather than four parts with a slot where the battery plate slides into. Also due to the lack of power I decided to use a 4s Lipo as I was not getting enough power from the 3s Lipo I was using which also would need a bigger hole for the battery to seat in. So I made some new templates and marked out onto the Lite ply which I struggled to get hold of,. But a trip to Hobbycraft proved fruitful as they sell Popular Ply in 30cm x 60cm which is the same weight and thickness and with some careful planing all the parts needed just fit. Phew As I already had 6.5mm Balsa for the inner core. Steve
  8. Hello Again, While everybody else has enjoyed success with their Gyroo 2 I have not been so Lucky. Bad weather has hampered any attempt to maiden my Gyroo 2 and when I did get to the flying site, the ground was wet and bumpy and no wind. So I attempted a take off run, not only did I suffer from the lack of ground control but also not enough power to get the rotor blades up to speed. I tried several times to get the blades up to speed and it was clear that I did not have enough power or control to turn the model round and try a take off run in the opposite direction then I noticed my blades droop to the ground. On looking at the model I noticed the body had spit along the battery plate line, center core where the grain of the wood runs. While no one else has suffered this problem I decided not to just glue it back together along the split but to make a new body. Steve.

  14. They look great Mike, I was thinking of building something like that, You have beaten me to it, have you any details you could share with us as I fancy building one. I take it the blades do not flap ? Steve
  15. I think you will find that most Rc Autogyros blades go Anticlockwise due to the motor torque. Steve
  16. The blades would spin clockwise and NOT anticlockwise if you follow the drawing. steve.
  17. Here is a video I took on Sunday. Managed to take off from the ground now that I added a foam tail wheel. Steve.
