Well just need a decent day and away we try the ol' Vbar out! Need to paint the canopy and fins yet but she is all ready to go, triple checked and anxious!!!

Setup as follows:

Motor: Actro 32-3 with 19tooth pinion
ESC: Jazz 55-10-32 ESC modded with Heatsink
BEC: Western Robotics 5AMP ESC modded with dual outputs, running 6V
Servos on swash: JR 8717
TR Servo: Futaba 9256 with Western Robotics stepdown
RX: Spektrum AR9000 with dual antennas
Extras: Spektrum Voltage Cap / Spektrum Antenna Fade,Hold and rx power monitor

Main Blades: Vblade 600mm TST
TR Blades: Vblade 95mm

I will report graphs in the setup and power system forum once I get solid results.

Nice build and pics Shaun - Thanks

- what's the big cap for just above the V-Bar amp - is that part of the V-Bar system ?

I suppose it's the Spektrum voltage cap !?

It is the Spektrum voltage cap. Bascially it balances spikes both high and low on the power and ensures a more consistent voltage. They work very well at under 10 bucks. Several big plane foolz run them on high demand systems as well, JR and Futaba both sell them as well, Spektrums is the cheapest of course and does same thing, cheers. :wink:

Two more questions on those pictures:

1) is that two of the Spektrum satellite modules, one on the left servo bulge, and one also on the right, or are these two different stages with two different locations you tried?

2) On the left side, in addition to the Spektrum satellite, what's that other clear smoke plastic doohickey above the rudder servo?

John

EDIT: Now I see the "Spektrum AR9000 with dual antennas". Sorry.

The doohickey, lol on left side is the Antenna Frame hold, loss and voltage indicator. It is a handy little unit which gives you data right after flight to evaluate your antenna locations as well as you rx voltage etc.... It just plugs into the data port of the AR9000. I like the 9000 and the dual antennas, in comparison to the AR7000 it stepped up my range check from 36 paces to 79 so that was pretty huge imho. Maidened it today, wow is all I got to say. I have alot of tweaking to do as it was pitching up etc but still was pretty amazing on Vbar that is for sure.

Well finally got some color on the 6003D, all stock decals and what not. :wink:

LITHIUMSTATIC · 11-16-2007, 08:51 PM

Nice........

BruceW · 11-16-2007, 11:55 PM

I better start thinking of a paint scheme for mine since I don't want plain white and logos. Are you guys spraying a finishing gloss coat of some sort over the paint?

Only the orange is reflecting off the snow, are you sure that will be bright enough?

I had mine airbrushed by a good friend that does it for a living. He put much clear coat on mine.

Do you think it adds extra strength compared to an unfinished canopy?

Foamy Love · 11-17-2007, 12:19 PM

Looks good Shawn. Simple always looks better to me.

BruceW · 11-17-2007, 12:22 PM

Yep Shawn, those will be good colors against that snow you'll be flying in. Nice job.
