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.




so its a quick build. no plans no calculation what so ever. just using my imagination n some educated guess. thanx to hans for the inspiration. wing frm a kite which i buy to play with my son last holiday in terengganu. the head is frm my GiPi4 pitch roll head test. 2 metal gear micro servo, 1500kv blm 8x5, 1300mah20c.

The maiden flight started with some frustration. We planned to maiden it rog from the ground, but the grass at the field seem to be to hard to have a good rog. As the trike itself have no means to control the take of. The DC Head used giving the trike controls over pitch and roll only. Then we decided to hand launch it and only then as its on the air we realize we didn’t get the cog quite right. After moving the battery around try to find the correct cog, it finally flies.

On the second flight it ended broken one of the DC Head control. And as for all build base on luck, this build have the same fate. So far I failed to recreate a successful flight :(
