Aryana,
Take a piece of phenolic and a dremel tool to make your yokes. Phenolic is available at spruce.

Re: 27% 170B build
you got all that done in 100 hours? dang.
If you can come up with a 3D model of the yoke I'll make you a couple on my 3d printer.

I didnt know we had somebody with a 3d printer. Can the 3d printer use acad or ai files to produce 3d images?Aryana wrote:I wouldn't know where to begin on how/where to create a model of the yokes. I'm a lead and vellum kind of guy, but let me research what it will take to get a model made up as I really appreciate the offer and would be stoked since I know it will come out better than what I can do by hand!

STOP YOUR WHINING. You get to build on your kitchen table while all the rest of us have to do things out in the hangar and you have your wifes approval....

I'm too embarrassed to share the total cost so far. I still have to buy the engine, which should be the last expensive item as long as I don't go off buying new radio gear. I guess you can't put a price on happiness, right?

I have access to a makerbot. Its an FDM printer that uses ABS or PLA. Essentially its a computer controlled hotmelt glue gun. The included software feeds on .stl files, many ways to convert all manner of 3d files to .stl form.canav8 wrote:I didnt know we had somebody with a 3d printer.

Arash, I think you might have this hole a bit to low.

Re: 27% 170B build
I think you need to go to the hospital and get a full body CT scan, download their file, convert the file to something a 3-D printer can read, reduce it to 27%, and have Falco print out a miniature you! Make sure you're seated and add some hinges in the shoulder and elbow so one hand can grip the yoke and the other the flap handle.falco wrote:you got all that done in 100 hours? dang.

Re: 27% 170B build
Are you linking the yoke to the ailerons? Cuz it wouldn't be too hard to hook the flaps to the flap lever with an extra micro servo.
How concerned are you with weight? The few scale builds I've seen (very few) were 'over gross' and didn't fly to scale on landing.

Re: 27% 170B build
I must make a comment that this is one model that has caught my attention because of the detail and the patience that has gone into the project . It is also a "170" that will keep the limelight for time to come . I hope that you don't have a crash to have to cry over it . Good Luck.

Arash, I echo John's comment above. Are you really going to fly that plane?

Re: 27% 170B build
Get it done quickly so you can fly it in the back of your 170 to the STL convention.
