Il progetto del Twin Beech era già il primo in molte cose: la prima riproduzione, il primo bimotore, il primo con funzioni avanzate, con carrelli retrattili, con sezioni intercambiabili etc. Ma ora possiamo dire che sarà anche il primo aeromodello progettato da noi usando Fusion 360! Lasciare il vecchio programma
L’anno scorso si era chiuso con i voli di prova del Juliet2, per raccogliere informazioni utili a migliorare il progetto. All’inizio del 2020 ho finalmente deciso (con me stesso) che il progetto era abbastanza maturo da costruire una prima serie di cellule del Juliet3. Questo voleva anche dire poter portare
With the good season almost over, things are all but getting quiet. Even though this is usually the moment when the action moves from the field to the garage, we have been busy with the test flights of the Juliet2. The prototype has been logging flight hours until a small
It has come the moment to look forward. Unfortunately this also means we need to make space for the next projects, and say goodbye to A1-C. We are not going to ruin the surprise about what will be next here, and besides, this post is just to celebrate the end of the Juliet’s flying days.

The big moment has arrived for the Juliet2. We are finally going to fly it!!! As all the family was there for the event, the first accomplishment of the day has been for sure squeezing two adults, a baby car seat, a golden retriever and two planes plus equipment in a sedan.
Previous Next With the Tundra and the Juliet in flying order, I enjoyed the first part of the season at the field having fun. Still, I managed to make some progress to the A1-D. We can now say it’s reaching the final steps of the construction. Having the model structurally
Previous Next While rebuilding the Juliet, I had plenty of ideas on how the structure could have been improved, lightened and made easier to “operate”. Since the ideas kept piling up after the first flights, some of them found a way into the model after our first little crash. Of
One of the reasons why I decided to come back to the hobby, was to try out FPV (First Person View) flying. With the A1-C getting close to its first flight, I started to think of a plane to properly experiment with flying through a camera (or more than one),
