My DIY Tricopter

 Last couple of years i've tried to build a tricopter base on David's build (rcexplorer.se). At that time flight control boards are still new in developement and the one that proven to work is way to expensive. So we used gyros and mixing in the radio as David did at that time. It is a challenging experience to make it fly and a big satisfactory once it does. Thanks to Myhotgears for sponsoring the build. But now with all the various flight controller available on the market have made flying multirotors a new hobby with growing fans.

How To - Servo 360 Mod

I get a lot of question as to how i did the servo mod for my rc rover. That is involving modifying a normal 9g servo to be able to turn freely on both direction.
I got the tips from a youtube channel rctestflight which happens to be the same person i got the idea to build the rc rover. The build is really cool (you can ask my son) and the modification needed is simple. Anyone with a spare servo and couple of old broken one could easily make it.

Simple DIY 5V BEC

I'm looking for a way to power my servo tester with my LiPo without using an ESC which i used to do. I don't have a BEC laying around, and i'm too cheap to buy one just to power a servo tester. Then i remember a friend of mine building his own BEC from a minimal amount of component to power his sailboat with a LiPo battery.
I start looking for parts in my workshop to make myself a DIY BEC and lucky me i have some laying around in my electronics box. A couple of hours later after some datasheet reading, schematic figuring, component placing and soldering, i got myself one simple homemade BEC.

Glojet - Boxermad84 Alphajet


Its originated from Boxermad84 as Bi-jet later on called AlphaJet as it is much cooler to fly it in high alpha maneuver. But we @ Ampang Night Flying called it Glojet. It glows, it do high alphas and its sound makes the neighbors dog barking all night long. With the simplicity of build without using any spars to reinforce the wing, its brilliant design and maneuverability made us want to build one. Right after our fellow flyer Shah showed us the video of its flying. Took us couple of hours with the plan and deprons. A couple of hours more to finish building it.
