RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong :: View topic

:) . . . I use a double ball bearing with a stator of 8mm thick. N45 magnet, 0.4mm wire at 17 rounds. This BL is the most powerful that I have ever made.

I've just removed the motor from a CDROM. The thickness of the stator is only 4mm. Are you using two stators stacked together?

Probably not for not much time left, but will try. My basic plan is the Filip that I used last year.

. . . What do you think this time after you read the trial result, CM? . . .

Strange result yesterday in Pingche:-

2.5M with 500 brushless motor --- > 5 mins.
Ele-easy with homemade brushless motor --- > 6 mins.
Speed 400 with a brushless motor --- > 9 mins.

How to classify? :shock:

CM, your Filip is good enough I think, just make it as powerful as you can!

. . . To avoid any player to play trick, I want to reduce to Small circle that give Bonus 5 points. Existing circle is 2 feet diameter, I want to reduce it to 1 feet diameter and add one more rule that if a plane landed in first 40 seconds, "0" score will be obtained. . .

Just my little comment, not to support nor to disagree . . . 1, Fully charged Lipo is 4.3V per cell, so 2s is around 8.6V. 2, Fully charged NiCd/NiMH is about 1.4V per cell, so 6s is 8.4V and 7s is about 9.8V 3, 1 and 2 is based on unloaded condition. When loaded, NiCd/NiMH can maintain the voltage better. 4, Lipo is lighter than NiCd or NiMH. I think NiCd/NiMH favours the launch stage, while Lipo has lower sinking rate for the glide. Pilot's choice.

I received different comments about the rules but we need to make the change as little as possible as some of the pilots has already prepared their plane for the contest. I do not think LiPo battery has any advantage as it drains lesser current than NiMh or NiCd cells at the same weight. If we allow 3S LiPo, then it will become unfair to those who use 7 NiCd/ NiMh cells. So I do not want to make change on this. In fact, the same contests in other countries also fixed on 7 cells. Regarding to the spot landing score, the title of the contest need to count both Duration and Spot landing the same weight. So it will be more fair to keep 10 points for both sections. To avoid any player to play trick, I want to reduce to Small circle that give Bonus 5 points. Existing circle is 2 feet diameter, I want to reduce it to 1 feet diameter and add one more rule that if a plane landed in first 40 seconds, "0" score will be obtained. See below: 6.3 降落點得分之計算方法為量度降落點與飛機停定後之機鼻之距離。5米以外得零分﹔5至4米得1分；4至3 米得2分；3至2米得3分；2至1 米得4分。如距離為0至1米，可得5分, 若距離在半呎內，會另加額外5分,即共得10 分。任何飛機不得在起飛後40秒內降落，否則降落點得分作零分算。 Please comment. Ken

Ken and CM, Thanks for your valueable comments. I shall make some modification on my Ele-Easy then. Regards,

Quote: I've just removed the motor from a CDROM. The thickness of the stator is only 4mm. Are you using two stators stacked together? Hi CM, The method you've mentioned is called 'double-decker'.The difficulty in making a double-decker is when you stacked two identical stators together, the bell (or so-called can) could not cover the stator completely, and thus, wasting energy. I had dismantled 30 odd CD-ROM, and was able to find just one motor having a stator of 8 mm thickness. Regards, and happy winding.

Hi Ah Pong, I have another one which is from a 24X CDROM. The motor is a lot more difficult to disassemble and so I don't know the dimension of the stator. However, it has a BIG bell of 10mm height and the stator should be . . . he he

CM, Are you going to use homemade BL this time? If you wish to do so, then you better do it quick. As you have to calculate the torque, current and the diameter of prop. Should you need magnets, give me a call.

尋日坪輋好熱鬧﹐除掟 DLG 外﹐有班機友已經開始為 22 號既電機賽作秘密準備﹐我地同每隻電機計過滯空時間﹐結果出人意表﹗佐治用既超級武器 2.5m Sierra 飛 10 分鐘﹐係冠軍。阿 Gallant 飛隻全 balsa 制既 0.8m 翼展(大約) F5D pylon racer﹐隻機根本唔係滑翔機﹐ 但竟然可以飛 9分半鐘﹐違反晒地心吸力既定律﹐牛頓死左都比佢激番生﹗但最神奇都要算阿邦隻電 Easy, 佢用最廉價裝置-自製無炭刷摩打+鋰電﹐飛成 6 分幾鐘﹐足以砌低上回電機賽好多人﹐勁﹗睇黎今次電機賽會幾精彩。坪輋呢個地方已經通晒天﹐尋日同場有好多直升機飛﹐飛滑翔機聽到咁多 Engine 聲﹐真係周身唔自在﹐不過無計。有個村民同隻狗黎睇我地放飛機﹐佢話有班直升機人同D村民租左另外一塊地放機﹐塊地距離我地個度都有幾百米﹐有個小山遮住﹐我地飛個陣都聽到個邊傳過黎既 Engine 聲﹐阿楊仲飛飛下俾人 jam. 比賽個日要事先同個邊D人聯絡下﹐避免撞 band.

Speed 400 with a brushless motor --- > 9 mins. How to classify? PatrickYellow, I think we do not need to make any additional classification on the rules. The spirit of the contest is on testing the flying skills. Both expensive and low cost plane will have chance to win, Control skill, modelling technique and luck are all important. We will play several rounds in the contest (3-5 rounds depends on the number of players) and the same plane must be used in every round. This will avoid player to use hard landing to get higher point in the Spot Landing section.(But every player has one chance to do this) Stanley is not in HK at the moment so he cannot revise the rule on reducing the spoting diameter from 2 feet to 1 feet. I will have him made the change as soon as possible to below. 6.3 降落點得分之計算方法為量度降落點與飛機停定後之機鼻之距離。5米以外得零分﹔5至4米得1分；4至3 米得2分；3至2米得3分；2至1米得4分。如距離為0至1米，可得5分, 若距離在半呎內，會另加額外5分,即共得10 分。任何飛機不得在起飛後40秒內降落，否則降落點得分作零分計算。 Have you test the Spot landing? Is it easy to get 10 points under the revised rule? If we find any plane that showed to be sure win, we will think about addition Classification to the contest.

Hello Ken, I aammmm jooooking about that..... I knew there are not too many ppls here to fly specially to join some contest like this, don't be too serious the class. For the spot landing, it might cause some problems - the grass! If you guys agree, I will bring my grass cutter to try to shorten them down this weekend.

Patrick, you told me to make it "as powerful as I can" !!!! My Filip is powered by a speed 300, so it can fly for over 10 minutes.
