Ellipse 2V a la Lomcovak - F3B (6/9/00)

Yes, F3B I was starting to fly this March. But I have built already two Ellipses 2V. I am flying this airplain quite intensive. Here you will find step by step some hints how I built and fly this soarer. As source I used experiences of my friends, Internet and my brain.


Ellipse 2V set.

How to do Aerial Linkage through fuselage? See picture. When ready you can always change Receiver and poke Aerial again troublefree.

Fixing hardmetal pins in central part of wing is more durable when you will cut a small slot and then glue it in wing using CA (CyanoAcrylate Glue). Using hotairgun with deflector you can release it again.

In front part of fuselage I made small pocket for lead ballast. It is just a bit work and payed off several times during playing with CG (Center of Gravity).

Speed task. Last turn very low pass 150m (at least :) from you. Crash ?! Radio Interference or Disturbance. I have heard a lot about it and long time thinking how to avoid this phenomenon. I solved it using 3M EMI Shielding Self Adhesive Tape Nr. 1181 to whole E2V Cabling. Every shielding is connected to common point at VGA connector.

Here you see Flaps and Aileron Cabling. Note using only signal wires. Power to servos is on separate cables.

Main VGA connector before building in fuselage.

Original aerial is prolonged to V-tail using mentioned 3M Copper tape.

Whole aerial. Up to now I have to say NO INTERFERENCE. Maybe just good luck ?
