Eastwing Gemini 98" wingspan
Jan 19th, 2016 at 11:07pm
 
Good evening everyone,
I have stated a new project this winter. i am building another Gemini but this time 98" wingspan. it will have two e-flight power 25 motors X as well as electric retracts. i will have 60 amp ESC just in case i want to use 4S batteries.
here is the middle section of the wing. this one will be in 3 section so it can be easily transported.
more to come.  Grin Grin Grin Grin

Here is some more progress on the project.
Please don't tell my wife her dog has volunteered to be the test pilot, she would hang me.  Wink
it will be interesting to see this lending with split flaps.

  Sad Well, I was all set up to proceed for first flight with this little plane and out of the blue the rudder servos started doing free games and looked like a drunken sailor on too much ADHD drug on a cheap date with a blind prostitute.  Huh Shocked Servo replacement required and getting new one this evening. Hopefully the weather will change for the weekend and maiden time will happen.

did the maiden this weekend and I must say the plan behaved as expected.
98" wingspan
72" long
split flaps
two power 25  of motor
two 60 Amps ESP
4S 5000 batteries, one per motor
3S 2200 for receiver and lights
landing lights
retracts from Hobby King. (I know it is not the best choice for budget was low)
since the retracts are from HK, I am considering removing the retracts and have a fix landing gear.
I would say the plane weight about 12-15 lbs. I will confirm later if I have a chance.

next flight will be used for final set up of the flaps

Sorry Al, that is the only one I have. we don't have a retired Al (French version that is) here to take all the nice pictures. someone else took a picture of me beside the plane but I did not receive anything but the one posted. Linette says you will have to come for a visit for a couple weeks every summer so you can take some nice pictures. I think it is because she likes you.  Wink Shocked Grin

Here the Gemini II all repaired from Margaree crash and with 12 great flights done and still flies great. I re-adjusted the flaps and now it lands great, main gear first and than about 10 feet later the front gear touch down.  Smiley

well, had to give this little puppy a new nose again. Sad T tail is a bitch if not done light and solid. Undecided I will figure out a way on the next build. Wink

It sucks when putting full throttle and one motor quits at the same time.  Cry This happen during touch and go training for the royal Canadian Air Fart.  Wink

Looking good Alain!  I see you have flaps on that bird. 

And you were flying in some awesome company!

Are you bringing it to Margaree?
