Airco DH2 - Microaces

Recommended Posts

About a year ago I built a Microaces Brisfit and recorded the build on here. Since then I’ve flown it a few times and must say that it really does fly well and looks the business. Microaces then brought out a DH2 and I decided to build it as it’s an airframe that’s just got something about it, mainly the birdcage fuse. So here is a bit of a build blog but I must get a move on as I want to have it ready for flying this coming Sunday!

Like the Brisfit the build starts with a crutch assembly made from a combination of foam and plastic strengthening pieces

Where strength is required, formers are a sandwich of 3 foam layers plus plastic

If you’ve built a Microaces one before then this one is more of the same, megga fiddly. One of the most useful tools to help build is a decent pair of tweezers and extensive use of UHU Por, wiped onto the surfaces with a bit of spare Depron.

Anyway, the build continues with more work to the fuse, adding the motor to its ply mount and servos stuck to the crutch with UHU.

A really fiddly bit now, the linkage and mounting plate for the control arms

The cabana struts are a combination of printed plastic, carbon flat and a sticker to cover up the carbon

These are stuck to the fuse skin which has been scored to assist in forming the curve.

The fuse skin is then stuck to the crutch, note the servo control linkage plate mounted to the underside of the crutch.

And the fuse bottom remembering bevel the edges to ensure a good fit to the fuse sides

I will do my best to describe what information I am looking for. 

On the PCB board for the DH 2 (Super Micro 4CH Receiver) there is a little black socket to plug in the brushed motor two pin. 

I want to buy that twin socket, does anyone know what it is called please so I can order one?
