Its Glowing Again ...

A flying session after a rainy day @ our Ampang Hilir Lake site last week came out with an idea to make our Polaris Glowing. Out of the excitement to see how a glowing polaris gonna looks on the lake @ nite time, i build one for a friend of mine in a week time. Successfully  flown its first flight on last saturday.

Just A Reminder

Just a reminder for myself and who ever read this post. Accident happens! In this hobby its always there waiting to happen while we out on the field enjoying our rc time with friends if we forgot about safety or our mind is somewhere else when we suppose to concentrate on what we are doing.

Changing Your Aircraft Propeller Blade Count

For the sake of sharing the information n for my own notes, i quote this related infos on chosing your propeller.

SpareTime Bot

If people say 'spare time triggers your imagination', i tend to agree. Starting with spending time browsing the net with 'diy' as keyword, i came across this simple yet entertaining simple bot project.
Understanding the concept its build on, with some own creativity and spare parts laying around. I build myself a 'SpareTime Bot' which move around randomly on its own powered with an AA batery in record time.

Polaris (Jetset44) - Sharing Some Tips

After a couples of build, few flights with my polaris and a lots of fun on the water and at the field. Here is some tips and tricks that i want to share with all of you whos planning on building one for themselves :)
Overall i would just say, this is a great design.
Just say thanks if you find it useful :)

Polaris Seaplane Parkflyer by Steve Schumate (jetset44-RCGroups)

For the lake... I have built a boat (actually an airboat). I have built a sailboat. Now its time to do some flying at the lake, and i'm thinking of a parkjet that has been long listed in my build list which at that time i dont have the reason to build one as there's no near by flying site to play it. Now i have just the right reason to build one, and its a great build. You wont regret it if you decide to build one. But! Make sure you really make sure no water can get in. Else, you will end up wishing 'if only i build it better'.

Footy - DIY 12" RC Sailboat

On the first day @ Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir, a fellow member had given me the chance to try his rc sailboat which is according to him had been stuck in his store room for a decade. Somehow the skills needed to sail it cant be take lightly. It is challenging working with the nature to make the boat move in a controlled manner. Then it occurs to me there must be a way to build one  for myself. I search the net and found a sail boat class called Footy that can be scratchbuild from a 3mm depron.

Boogee (Simple DIY Airboat)

Last week the idea of playing with something floating at the newly approved rc site kind of tempting for me. For the whole week i've been searching what to build and building my new toy to take part with all the fun. Using all the parts that already scattered in my workshop i came out with this ... some parts of the build i still got to buy, but i try to get the cheapest :)

Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

First of all i would like to wish happy fasting to all muslims as we are now in ramadhan fasting month. May Allah bless all of you out there. Its been a while since i made a post here. Now im back with new video on rc activities near me. Its a new site which has been approved by the local authority (DBKL) to be use as a place for water rc activities. This includes the use of rc boats and airplane. All thanks to our fellow rcier Mr. PeluruSilver for his effort.

Glowings

What glows in the dark? Well take a look at this …
I started my nightflying with a diy stick plane equipped with LEDs as navigation light. And with it I only could see the navigation light in the darkness of the night sky to help me fly it without loosing the orientation of my plane. Now its just like flying the plane in the day time.

Night Flying

Flying in the darkness of the night … how the **** we gonna see the plane? We have to see it to be able to control it don’t we?

AXN Floater / Cloudsfly

Looking for something out of the box for me to enjoy on my weekends in the field, I lay my eyes on this nice little power glider n from the look, I know im going to enjoy it.

Trike/Ultralight

One day, out of a conversation with my fellow rcer. My friend hans came with this idea about building a motorize kite. He came with some concept and pictures that he found on the internet. Most of it are called trike. Taking it as a challenge, I build this in one night. most of the parts are from my previous gyro test.

Dual Rotor Gyroplane

Dual Rotor Gyroplane/Gyrocopter/Autogyro - DGiPi

This is totally something new to me n yet i started my rc involvement with helis. we know autorotation landings for helis as an unpowered maneuver which practically used to end a flying session (for most of the pros/semi pros of course. but do we ever thought that autorotation can be use to create lift n used as wing for an airplane? well thats just what this vintage aircraft does. unpowered rotor as wings. so how it works?
