Scratch Built F-35

Hey Guys,


 

Just finnish building the f-35 from leadfeather from rc-groups. Made of 6mm depron, Tape and hot glue. Make sure when you built this thing that you add small thrust vectoring tabs on the elevons. Cuz on the real first flight I crashed becuz i didn't had enough control

2212-06 2200kv motor(cheap ebay one) 

nano tech 3s 1000mah 45c

2x 9g servo (bigger would be better cuz the control sufaces are pretty big!)

30A esc

Orange RX

Still want to paint it gray, and maybe putting some rudders on it! I will do some more tweaking and see how I can improve it!

UPDATE 07-22-12


 

After thinking to add on rudders, I thought i could do it not so complex as dual rudders. So I added a little fin on the back and connect it to a servo. Now I have 3-axis thrust vectoring without spending a hack lot of time. After test flying it, It worked great! My high-Alpha's are alot easier to control.

The video quality could have been better. I was more interested in the plane that I was watching it fly around unfocused.
