In this riveting segment, the team showcases their ingenious modifications to the Eclipson model S, transforming it into a versatile flying machine. By adding a custom-designed EDF pod with a unique spacer for angle adjustments, they achieve the flexibility to switch between slope and flat field flying at will. Eclipson, a standout in the world of 3D printing, offers designs that not only print rapidly but also exhibit a sleek leaf-like pattern, ensuring a seamless finish. The team's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the shroud, bracket, and mount they personally designed for this project, showcasing their dedication to innovation and performance.
Powering this remarkable creation is a 4S 2600 pack paired with a 50mm FMS fan and a robust 40 amp Skywalker ESC, delivering the necessary thrust for an exhilarating flight experience. The transition to slope mode is a breeze, requiring a simple switch to a blanking plate and the removal of the fan to reduce drag and weight. Despite a total print time of approximately 60 hours, the use of PLA plus for the front half and lightweight PLA for the rest ensures a perfect balance of strength and weight, crucial for optimal performance during slope soaring. The team's future plans include experimenting with PLA wings to minimize bounce and flex, further enhancing the model's flight capabilities.
In conclusion, this project exemplifies the team's passion for pushing the boundaries of RC aircraft design, combining cutting-edge technology with expert craftsmanship to create a truly exceptional flying experience. With a link provided for enthusiasts to access the design, this segment not only entertains but also inspires viewers to embark on their own journey of innovation and creativity in the world of RC aviation.
