Danger Rich. That's what I'm working on now too

[felborn]

Been thinking about this project myself, look forward to be seeing how it turns out for you. Going with uBrain as well, or the blade system?

[jmtyndall]

I will probably put a microbrain in it before it ever flies

[RichKnapp]

I'll be doing the uBrain as well.

I have been waiting on you starting this project Rich! Looking forward to following it.

180 Lynx build part 2 (6 min 25 sec)

[ininverno]

finished today all test per servo lynx DS-895-HV per 180x cyclic.
We test with many set up blade, std, lynx color, lynx carbon plastic and zeal carbon.

We are now ready to release...

Servos are faster than std, than depending on blade rigidity, need adjust 1,2 and 3 gyro gain.
We started with 50 50 50 and we increase with stiff blade.
CF blade and Carbon Plastic can fly with 100 100 100 std without over shutting..

We will sale in combo 3 and spare x 1 and servo combo 3 will come with lynx gear saver arm already pre - installed per center point zero pitch, than you just need install and fly!!!!

I test the same servo on the tail, but for the moment I am not happy yet to certificate for tail, maybe.. I need to try other gain setting, but maybe need a different servo for the tail.. let see x now I am really really happy for the cyclic one, fit like a glove and are top performance!!

Peace and happy Sunday!

Awesome. Can't wait to see what this is like in conjunction with the uBrain.

Can not wait to see it fly... going to post the "fly zone" video on here as well I hope!

[RichKnapp]

As soon as done There will be a Fly Zone hover video.

Getting some more new parts for it so there will be a video for that also.

[RichKnapp]

Did some wrenching today. Had to keep busy.
Added a few more things to the Lynx 180.
Canopy and (static hold) Boom
belly plate
skids

I have the new 180 servo's but didn't get to putting them on.
I call this one "Mini Me" you will understand later.

[MaGooRc]

Please Rich send frame and tail photos....

[RichKnapp]

Right now this is all I have. Once I am done dry fitting everything. I will be loc-tit everything and get better ones.

I get time. I will try earlier. .

[RichKnapp]

Here is a few before I put the servos on.

[RichKnapp]

a few more.

[felborn]

Wow, that's really starting to take shape. Look forward to the flight reports

[RichKnapp]

May be a little while. I have a lot of things to go yet. I don't want to by Blade parts and then have them sit because Lynx came out with them.

[ininverno]

One more brick on the wall... this is a sample we just put together.. is our one.. beta 2.. we study very well the boom clamp and after a first full cnc one.. we desided to split it in 3 cnc parts conectect by cf plate to assure extra stiff and easy repair in case hard crash.. first one we made was full alu but once we crash test he bent and we desided to change radically the design. We already simulated on banch strong crash with hammer support.. and last system he really promizing well. . Tomorrow I will back on air after a bad crash I got today for my mistake.. and we will test along the week.. if ok as I smell... go to go production!!

Luca -

So you bench test your kit with a hammer! I am not surprised, you DO make the best!

I was thinking of making a Lynx 180 as Rich is doing, but now there is an OXY2 in the pipeline and think I will wait for that!
