My Latest : AURA MINI & AURA WING

Posted in RC Air - Fun at 12:29 PM by rnori

After much deliberations on this excellent hobby, I decided that “Dollar Store Foam Board” is the way to go forward with all construction projects.
Like before, after couple of night out’s, playing with concepts in Cad, I am glad to come up with two simple wing concepts.
AURA MINI and AURA WING.

AURA MINI differs from AURA WING is the following ways:

  1. The MINI comes with a Rudder control while the WING has no Rudder at all.
  2. The MINI has a 90 degree flat nose cone while WING has 120 degree flat nose cone.
  3. The wing span on MINI is 24″ while WING comes with a 48″ wing span.
  4. Both these concepts use ELEVON controls (Elevator + Alerons) setup from my Spektrum DX6i Radio.
  5. Both these use 1600 KV 90 W motors and 1200 mah 11.1V 3S LiPo batteries.
  6. MINI comes with 5 x 5 prop for speed in mind while WING comes with 8 x 4 Prop for better thrust.

Enough said above, please see some nice pictures below of these beauties.

At the time of this post, MINI is my all time favorite with the way it flies, and I still need to do the maiden flight for WING.
