get yours done then!

Waiting on a regulator

Also noticed that the build thread is for R/E only so may take a little more time.

Did someone call?! Smile

Actually Barnes, just got the finishing touches to do now.... Just faced the aileron/wing cut edges with some epoxy/microballon slurry. Can't have the wings and surfaces being all floppy now can we?

And anyway, it seems having a baby does eat into "toy time" somewhat more than I expected......

Ahh good man, told you the little one would be trouble! To be honest looking at the state of my hanger there isnt any room for it anyway

damn does this mean i have to build mine now affraid

by **Rich** 2011-01-17, 23:07

No because you isn't the light weight one

by **Mark Barnes** 2011-01-18, 09:10

Yeah dont bother Gaz, yours will be heavy and glide like a brick

Model now at Hobby King.

by **Mark Barnes** 2011-01-24, 18:39

Ahh thats what they look like

by **Andy Sayle** 2011-01-24, 18:57

They are about 30 dollars cheaper if you go direct to peak hobby.....

by **Andy Sayle** 2011-05-22, 19:36

Rumour has it that Barnesys binary is ready for action....

by **Mark Barnes** 2011-05-22, 20:19

WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO

Must be a bugger to build, 6 bloody months!

Looks like Andys finished it too early looking at the wind forcast for next week Twisted Evil

I'll be honest, it's not the nicest model to build, it better bloomin fly nice! The weather forecast is a little sinister too....

by Guest 2011-05-22, 21:06

havin probs with mine aswell Crying or Very sad

thought it should be ready midweek Very Happy

by Marty 2011-05-22, 21:45

Mine is has proved to be a............. challenge!

by **Andy Sayle** 2011-05-23, 06:38

Stick with it Marty, this one doesn't have a throttle Wink

Andy

by **Rich** 2011-05-23, 08:35

Very low

by Marty 2011-05-23, 08:58

LOL. Did you have to use extention leads for the servos?

by **Andy Sayle** 2011-05-23, 09:31

Er, sort of, yes. I actually cut the plugs off the end of the wing servos, threaded the wires under the skin to the centre (I used a bit of hot wire to cut a small channel in the foam, about 3mm dia, just under the glass skin). I brought them out in the middle, about 1" aft of the front two wing bolt locations. I then fitted a 4 pin Ashlok connector to the exposed wires. I then made a small harness with the female half of the ashlok connector, with two wires long enough to reach the pod where ther rx was, and this was terminated in normal servo connectors.

I did this so the wing could easily be removed (if needed). There is no reason why the extensions cannot be hardwired though, The model is small enough to leave in one piece really....

by Marty 2011-05-23, 09:56

I remember you telling me but taking off of plugs scared me coz the the leads are so titchy! I don't like playing with 'lectric magic at the best of times.
I was reading somewhere that the binary does like a little weight but I probably have used uo any leeway with glue wieght!

by **Andy Sayle** 2011-05-23, 10:05

The little DLGs like these are never going to be lightweight floaters, there is just too much structure to support with not enough wing area. For that reason it is better to build them a bit stronger to withstand some abuse, and have some fun with them. The Binary is a cracking example of one of them too. There is just too much weight in the foam cored wings, beefy carbon boom, glass pod etc, to make it a really efficient little thermal soarer. So, don't worry too much about extra weight, and accept the fact it will be a cracking little light wind slope model, or it will give you some serious exercise on the flat field!

The leads are pretty small, yes. What you could do, is just leave them intact, and use some normal servo extensions. You would probably only need about 4 inch long ones. That way you have a join near the wing too, perfect for a removable wing Smile

You can either hide the wires from the servos to the wing root under a bit of tape, or cut a slot into the wing to "chase" the wires in to hide them.
