Wow look at that concave, and the wings/flaps look less aggressive.

Great execution, I was hoping this level of cleanliness could be reached with liquid epoxy. I can’t find miliput around here

What motors are those? They look just like Turnigy 6374 “sk8” motors — except short.

edit:

Oh, they’re probably Turnigy 6354 sk8 motors.

I didn’t even know those existed.

I got it off Amazon if that helps.

Speaking of battle hardening, Brian @b264 I think you posted once that you use some plastic cylinder in the can to make a clean battle hardening, where can I find some? Pretty sure I will not find that kind of cylinders locally.

I manufactured all of it, custom. It’s the only one.

You also use miliput?

No; that is West System 650 with a few glass microspheres added, a lot of canola oil, custom nylon plugs, and the machine that turns it at 1rpm.

Does it make the epoxy less liquid/runny? It looks like white lithium grease

Not really. Maybe a tiny bit. The epoxy is very much liquid and runny before it cures.

Thanks

If you stop moving it for a moment, it will all run out of the can. The machine keeps turning it endlessly while it cures.

Either that, or apply it while in the space station.

Yeah you found them :laughing:

They seem small, but I’m 95kg and they have been performing like day one for about 800km.

I paid 124€ for 2 in 2019 and 136€ for another 2 last year (for replacement or to drop in the omakase) on black friday and got them within a week from hobbyking.

Nice quality vs. cost ratio :love_you_gesture:

That’s also how you can make things like this from liquid epoxy

I mean, unless you have a vehicle capable of achieving low-Earth orbit.

It keeps gravity from pulling the epoxy off while it’s curing.
